Fred:
Hey Alan,

Good to see her soon back in the air !  :D

So, what was the issue at the end ?  :?:  Decalage ?  :?:

Alan_Perse:
Do you remember before launch you told me to put in some down trim, to stop a stall just in case it was tail heavy. Well I accidental put in up trim  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:  :!:  :!:  :!:. But I'm going to check the decalage just in case as well, and recheck the CG.

Alan_Perse:
Hi All,

Just an update. It flies  :D  :D  :D  :D, finally. I have a very short video. Its not the best quality but it will do. Thanks for the launch Peter.

I got two flights in that day. But I did a little damage to it attempting a third launch. But it will be easy to fix. It broke in exactly the same places as the last time.

joe:
Great to see you getting a few flights on the K8. Looking forward to seeing it in the air. After all that work it must be very satisfying to get it in the air.

Alan_Perse:
Thanks Joe. Yea It was great to finally get it in the air. Very satisfying. Just need to tweak a few things such as the CG and decalage to get it flying right. When do you think you will get to finish your scale gliders?
