See you tomorrow:)

Eventually I got the Ka3 finished. First flight tonight and it flew beautifully. Wind was quite strong, 15kts, N westerly, out over Lough Derg. Hopefully I can add some photos, no flying shots i’m afraid. Thanks again Fred, a very nice machine. Plan now is to build a Ka1 fuse to match the wings and tail of the Ka3.  Regards, GB.

gerryb:
Started the build on the Ka1, formers fit together like a glove. First photos are just a dry fit. I had to cut the stringers lengthways to get them to bend to follow the curve of the fuse. Lots of hi-tech clamping devices required to keep everything in place until glue dries. More photos soon....

gerryb:
I thought the sockets for the tail plane carbon rods were a bit short for a plug in tailplane so I made new ones which are about 25mm deeper than the original.
