Fred:
Hey Alan,

Looking good !  :clap:
5kg seems ok to me. Most important is the wing loading. You certainly are between 50 and 60g/dm2, so still good ! And too light is not good too anyway !  :D

Alan_Perse:
Thanks Lads. If everything goes according to plan I might try and fly her this Saturday at Mt Leinster. But thats weather permitting off course. I'll post a message on Friday to confirm if I will be there or not.

Fred: Thats a relief. I thought 5kg was too heavy. It feels quite heavy when I lift it. But your right, its the wing loading that counts. Thanks.

Peter:
Great looking glider Alan - looks the business!  Well done.  I put a shed load of lead into the front of the B4 as well!  I guess these scale gliders are designd to have a person up front!

Alan_Perse:
Thanks Peter. Hmmm, maybe someone should make a scale pilot from Lead. That would save having to put most of the lead in the nose.  :?:  :?:

Alan_Perse:
Hi All. Here are some pics of my K8 at Mt Leinster. As some of you already know the first flight did not go quite according to plan and I crashed it. But the damage was minor and has already been repaired. I think I know what caused the problem, a stupid mistake by me when setting up the glider before launch.
