Foamboard Kadet build thread.

[Ratcheeroo]

This is the thread for my Foamboard Kadet. Right now It will be a spot for the beta builders to reference build pics , I will post plans for this project when they have completed and assessed their builds for everyone else. The goal here was to keep it clean and simple without too much of a boxy look. I am just about complete with my test build, here is how it looks so far. Looking forward to sharing with the community and hope that some of you will decide to give it a go.

This looks great and really captures the Kadet look. Is there one version of the Kadet you are basing your design on? It looks like it's close to the Mark I.

It's from a set of SIG Craftsman's Kit balsa plans from 1972.

The original! Awesome.

Landing gear is mounted, motor pod is in for a dry fit but the more I look at it the more I don't like so I think I have a better plan that is simpler and keeps the space I had under the hatch. As soon as my phone charges I'll post the hatch build pics I have and notes.
