Fred:
Hi there,

I had a flight yesterday with the Ka3... That have just confirmed that this glider is flying great !
The wind was a bit south, so, I was just going for a launch.. but,  it was keeping taking high all the time !

Really happy with this glider !

Fred:
Me again,

Here is a video of the "real" first flight during the Retroplane meeting.
Lots of wind, but the lifts were not there.. Strange conditions, so, for a first flight, no risks, just a launch (went straight, like in a magazine  :wink: ) a large turn, and a landing.

A second flight has been made right after this one. Much longer this one !

Enjoy !

Alan_Perse:
Nice Fred  :D . Is it easy to fly? When do you think you will have short kits available?

Fred:
Thanks Alan,

Easy to fly ?... I'd say like a vintage glider !  :D

You must use the rudder to turn, mixed with the ailerons. But after that, yes, that's a really easy glider to fly.
I have to prepare another video of the flight, and you will see a pretty good attitude in flight and how slow she can go !  :D

Happy with that one !

For a short kit, hopefully, I will have a set ready in September as I start to have some order for this one after the Retroplane meeting.
I try to keep the prices low, but at the moment, a short kit will be at around 120 euros... We'll see anyway.

I've made a quick video of Retroplane, that shows the atmosphere before the meeting on Saturday morning :
