I've always been so impressed with those large planes! My dad used to take my brother and I to a flying field when we were younger just to watch.
I'm much too anxious a person in general to fly something so large and complex. The foam was perfect for me haha. It was also easy to teach people how to fly, I'd just hand the transmitter to people. That's how I got my dad into it, he's still flying occasionally these days.
That Kadet is such a classic, classic design. If you were to take an average of every RC plane ever flown, it'd probably look exactly like that.
Yeah, I love the Kadet. SIG was inactive for a long time but just restarted operations so you can buy a lot of their classic kits and ARFs on their website again.
I had a Kadet LT-40 kit that I built when I was in high school, but I stopped when I got to the step of covering it, so it never got finished. So this model has some nostalgia for me. It'll be electric and have plenty of power, so I imagine even an intermediate pilot like myself can still have fun with it.
