Yeah, Dédé's Ka8 is beautiful... I've flied first the Ka6 and landed short in a bush, having to check the main spar now... So as I flied the Ka8 later, I was really careful with that special approach and landed always too long or not in the target... Glider is OK, my flying points not... :(

But after that we do the patrol... :-*
