Sig Kadet Mk I

This was my very first R/C plane built back in the Summer of '82. I don't even remember the specifics of it's demise, but I have vague images of cart wheels down the runway on a windy day so perhaps that was it.

Gene Gardner was a good and patient instructor. I guess you could call him an "old timer". He had zillions of great model and real aviation stories He could build and fly everything up to and including those tuned pipe, retractable landing gear, pattern zingers. I never kept in touch with him after I left AZ for college. I hope he's still building and flying and teaching new students.
