Hello

The Ka6E fly well like the Ka6 CR.  :wink:

Following all advices written upper, just keep in mind that:

- Incidence (i.e angle between relative air flow and wing chord) must not vary during downwind phase: keep the nose down! - It is normal that your glider goes fast from the ground, but what's about her airspeed? Airspeed is the only reference to take into account...

- Because of downwind, your turn radius will be high at the beginning, and will decrease as much as the glider faces the wind... So don't hesitate to bank enough, at the beginning of your turn, to not let your glider go too far under the wind, otherwise she will hardly come back frontwind.

- And remember to always achieve your turns by using ailerons + rudder: you won't generate any slip or skid, which, added to a high incidence, could lead to a spin turn.

Here are a few advices that we give to full-size glider trainees...

A+
