With the demand for training aircraft in Canada necessitated by the British Commonwealth Training Plan, arrangements were made in late 1941 to procure 300 Kaydets for the RCAF under Lend-Lease arrangements.The aircraft were to be modified to PT-27 standard to suit the Canadian conditions and RCAF requirements. These modifications included equipment changes for night flying plus an improved cockpit heating system and canopy for winter flying conditions. Production delays for these modifications, however, resulted in virtually all the aircraft being produced to the US military's basic PT-17 model standard. Although, the aircraft were reluctantly accepted by the RCAF and introduced into service, the lack of the necessary modifications quickly resulted in complications and dissatisfaction for the basic flying training program then underway in full swing.Despite being sturdy, reliable aircraft, in November 1942, the decision was therefore made to withdraw the type from use and substitute an equivalent number of Fairchild Cornells on existing production contracts. The Kaydets were then returned to the US over a period of six months in 1943 for use by the US Navy and US Army Air Corps. I've added a hidden gun in the nose so you can dogfight with it.Credit to OtakuSquirrel For the Awesome Radial Engine!
