Aero-Systems Cadet STF

The 1941 Culver Cadet was a 2-place low wing light plane powered by a 75hp Continental engine and capable of cruising at 120mph. After much design and analysis, Neal La France offers plans for a homebuilt version of the Cadet. The Cadet STF features a steel tube, fabric covered fuselage instead of the production wood fuselage. A considerable weight savings and double the strength was obtained with the new design. Prototype is powered by a 100 hp Continental engine.
