Fred:
Keep posting photos of your ka8 Alan !  :clap:
So, here we go with more photos  :D

The cockpit :
Seat is made of Depron  :oops:  covered with fabric from an old cord trousers  :D

Fred:
And to finish :





Yep, that really is a Flying Plank !  :wink:

First flight soon, I still haven't put the servos  :oops:

Note that all the stickers and so on were made by Anthony (error 404 on the forum). We've tried decals as well, as some of the markings are really small, and too small to make stickers...
Well, Decals is the way to go for small things like that !! Works perfectly ! I've put a layer of varnish on it and it's almost invisible !

COntact Anthony if you need some or want more details !  :D

Ron:
How did you make the cockpit canopy Fred?
Was that another Anthony job?

Ron

Fred:
Hi Ron,

The canopy as been made using a vaccum forming machine :

Really easy to build, and a must have if you design your own models  :D

Fred:
