Default Finished my totally bashed Kadet

Okay...I have no creative bone in my body. I even started her in silk until I realized my folly early on. Went out yesterday to fly her but it was to windy.

Isn't it obvious? It's hardly recognizable as a Kadet anymore. Nice job! Everyone kit bashes, so your lack or creativity showed groundbreaking originality. [8D]

Very nice! You will love this plane.. I still have one today.. good gentle fun flier! Check wings for warp though since they are sooo wide., Picture looks like left wing is up ....in the picture.

Exactly what kind of silk and dope did you use? I have one I built 19 years ago that I still fly regularly that is covered with Monokote but have another kit I plan to build that will be silk and dope and powered with brushless electric and li-Pos. Love nitro powered airplanes but sooner or later the fuel will mess up a nice model.

Thanks for all the kind words. Smithcreek, you made me laugh out loud. Terry you are 100% correct. I have to knock down the top of the right cabin side a bit. My instructor noticed the same thing. cfircav8r, the wheels are Williams Brothers Smooth Contors.

Flew today for the first time. Shaking like a leaf the entire time. Messed up the left/right thing a few times, but it was amazing. I can't wait to get out again.

Regards,

Mike

a good rule of thumb to level the wings when the plane is comming toward you is to push the stick toward the low wing
it will level it every time
