Just to make it clear, it wasn't pleasant to fly because it was tail heavy, nothing to do with the escapement and electronics set up. I should have selected the balsa a little more carefully for the back end.

Scaled up Keil Kraft Cadet
I made this a little bigger at 40" span. Initially used an OS push pull output escapement with one of Phils widgets, but it needed a lot of lead in the nose and wasn't pleasant to fly. Modified it by replacing the escapement with a 9g servo, removed the nose lead and was transformed. The Cadet was not the normal version but a lesser known one designed for Jet X and had sheet sides.
