I don't think you can ever go wrong with a Kadet!

Thanks David might just have to check it out as it was a great everyday plane. Hate to say this in the slimer forum but it will have to be electric or gas this time.

Flew an Extreme flight Outlaw with a webra .35 on it today. Clocked it with radar at 159mph! It just became my new favorite slimer........

The Fliton Extra with a Saito 100. First plane I had that could really 3D (still wish I could). My buddy flew mine for the first time and immediately went to the LHS and got one! Other friend, same story! We would do formation blenders with them. Had to really concentrate on which plane was yours though.

Sig 4-star 40 with a os .46 1st build and the beginning of a wonderful addiction.

Sig 4 Star 40 was my first slime as well. Didn't build it though. Bought it at the 2013 Perry, GA swap meet. I loved that plane, but lost it on final because my DX6i antenna was pointed straight at it and it lost radio signal.

Replaced it with a .60 though...

The dirty birdi would have been better in a .60, but I had an old SF 46 ABC that needed a home. Here is a pic. I have thewings and fuse about done now. I just have to mount the engine and carve the nose down to the nose ring. I also have to join the wings. Here is a pic from earlier this spring.

LOL. I have been flying mine that I recently completed as a means to work on IMAC sequences - without the fear of crashing my EF78. It really does fly very nicely. Very stable and is able to handle the basic sequences including spins quite well. I am really enjoying it. Dreaming of a 104" though.

I just went from the EF 78 to the EF 104 myself this spring. I still like flying the 78, but the 104 is the bomb!

My 1st was a Kadet Mk II, flew the covering off it and repaired it many times. Last I saw it it was gathering dust hanging in one of my dad's barns. Built a Four Star 40 and flew it 100's of times as well. My next plane and my favorite was the Super Sportster. Fast and agile (for me), another plane I flew too many times to count. I still love the smell of burning glow fuel.

I recently did this to my engines that have been on planes. I am starting up from a 12 year pause. The engines that have been on the planes all this time were locked up. I soaked them in some old fuel i still had on my flight box and they loosened right up. They all run fine.
