Does anyone know if the Saito Gas Engine FG-11 would fit into the Kadet Senior. I'm concerned about the carb being on the back if the engine would sit to far forward.

Don't know if it would fit or not but I suggest you call Sig and ask them for some measurements . They are located 50 miles East of me in central Iowa. That would be a nice combo if it fits.

I have a completed fuselage (it's for sale along with remaining items). I can snap some pics and lay a measure across if that will help.

Yes some pics and measurements would be great.

Ok no prob, will try to work on it tonight and post tomorrow. I'll be at the auto auctions all day but will try to post as soon as I can. This will be a good excuse to pull everything I have out and get the pieces and parts listed in the classifieds. The fuse is 90% done and the wing is 50%. Lost interest in building and moved on.

I had a Saito 72 on mine flew really nice. Sig may be able to give you fees back on this.

Ok here goes. The pic from front to back is blurred but is 4 inches. If you need more room, you don't have to put the balsa cheeks on or they can be trimmed as they're very thick. Hope it helps ya out

Thanks much for the photos. The 4 Stoke Gas Saito says it is 4.5 inches from the prop stop to the rear of the engine.
