ASSEMBLY MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the sport of Radio Control flying, and thank you for
choosing the SIG KADET LT-40 EG ARF. In order for your KADET
to fly as well as it was designed to, it must be properly assembled.
Work slowly and follow the instructions exactly. This kit features a
proven aerodynamic design, quality materials, and detailed
instructions, but ultimately the flyability of your finished model
depends on how well YOU put it all together.
The KADET LT-40 has earned a reputation as one of the very best
R/C trainers in the world. Tens of thousands of newcomers have
successfully learned to fly R/C with a KADET LT-40. This ARF
version of the LT-40 gets you into the air quickly. It is designed to
fly with either a .40-.46 2-stroke glow engine, a .40-.54 4-stroke
glow engine, or a 500 watt electric motor.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
We urge you to read this assembly manual completely before
assembly. Familiarize yourself with the parts and their assembly
sequences. The successful assembly and flying of this airplane is
your responsibility. If you deviate from these instructions, you may
wind-up with problems later on.
If this is your first R/C Aircraft PLEASE READ THIS!
As already mentioned, the KADET LT-40 EG ARF is a perfect
model for learning to fly R/C.
However, it is important to
understand that if you have never flown an R/C model before, you
will need to find a qualified R/C flight instructor to test fly the
airplane and teach you how to fly it. If this is your first radio
control model airplane, DO NOT attempt to fly it by yourself
without a qualified instructor.
ARE YOU INSURED?
The governing body for radio-control model airplanes in the United
States is the ACADEMY OF MODEL AERONAUTICS, sometimes
referred to as the AMA.
While AMA membership is not
mandatory, it is a good idea and we encourage all new R/C fliers
to join the AMA.
Membership in the AMA provides you with
important liability insurance protection in case your R/C model
should ever cause serious property damage or personal injury to
someone else. Because of that liability protection, most R/C clubs
require AMA membership before you can fly at their field.
Join the AMA for the welfare of the hobby!

ADDITIONAL ITEMS YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE
In addition to this kit, you will need the following items to complete
your KADET LT-40 and make it flyable.
❑
RADIO SYSTEM
The KADET LT-40 EG ARF requires a standard 4-channel radio
system and four standard servos.
❑
POWER SYSTEM - GLOW OR ELECTRIC?
The biggest decision you will have to make is whether to power
your KADET LT-40 with a glow engine (2-stroke or 4-stroke) or an
electric motor.
We have flown the KADET LT-40 on a variety
of both types of power systems, and we make the following
recomendations based on our successful on-field experience.
GLOW POWER RECOMMENDATIONS
❑
ENGINE
We recommend the following size for the KADET LT-40 EG ARF.
2-STROKE - .40 to .46 cu.in.
4-STROKE - .40 to .54 cu.in.
Don’t let the large size of the KADET LT-40 fool you! Due to it’s
huge wing area, very light wing loading and slow flight envelope,
these engines will provide ideal power for training or general sport
flying the KADET LT-40.
