Interstate Cadet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Interstate Cadet is a two-seat (tandem, high wing, single engine) monoplane. It was produced between the years of 1941 and 1943 by the Interstate Manufacturing Company based out of El Segundo, California. The construction techniques employed were a welded steel fuselage, spruce wings, and fabric covering, all of which are fairly standard for the time of introduction.
The aircraft in its original version (the S-1 variant) was powered by the 50hp Continental A-50 engine, however after receiving complaints stating that the plane was underpowered, Interstate switched to the S-1A variant which employs the 65hp Continental A-65 engine. This was the mainstay used in most small two-seat aircraft of the time.
