Slingsby T7 Kirby Cadet 100" Glider

The classic Slingsby T7 Kirby Cadet first flew in 1935 and was used by the Royal Air Force as a training glider for their air cadet program.

We are pleased to present this classic glider in a 100" design suitable for aerotow or slope soaring. Our kitset includes an extensive range of fibreglass fittings to help with hookup of the functional wing struts, as well as two different dihedral braces to allow you to build the kitset with a scale dihedral of zero degrees, or 1.5 degrees dihedral.

Details of a working tow release for aerotowing are also shown on the plan.
