They were very popular planes, so I'm sure you won't have a problem getting the plans. Google 'Sig Kadet plans' and see what you come up with. I'll bet there's still a PDF file floating around that you can print out. Other than that, do what Timmahh suggests and try the forum on RC Universe. Someone there will probably have an old set, or know where you could get them.

Engines aren't as expensive for the aircraft as they are for the cars.
I have a Magnum .28. Haven't finished the plane it was for, but it ran sweet on the test stand.
I've read pretty good things about the GMS motors, but never been around one. Maybe one of the other guys have had some experience with them?
Can get an O.S. for $85 http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBY42&P=6 or $125 http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBY43&P=6
Haven't had either size, but I don't think you could go wrong with O.S. I've got a .40. Been in 4 planes and ran for 5 or 6 years. Still going strong.

Well, as I said in your PM, if you eat the airplane kit, you will sheet balsa for a week.
I'll take a few pics and post them for you tomorrow. On the wing, you probably want to go with monokote, though that takes a special iron.
Okay, I see it's only 8, your time. I guess you already have the sheet? Run glue on all the framework that the sheet will contact, and if it's a flat surface, lay weight on it. If it's curved, drive pins through the sheet into the frame at an angle. Doesn't have to be deep, just enough to hold it. Don't move it around, try to set it right into place, or you'll spread the glue where it won't be holding anything. Sanding comes after it's dry. After it's completely set (give it at least 2 hours) then do the other side. Same for the bottom.
If it's a curved surface, the sheet will curve with the grain.
