Ahh, happy days! Finally back home and starting to go through the material from the trip, might even post something soon if Fred doesn't beat me to it, lol!  

Nice to see the 3 and 8 together in the air!

Oh, I forgot to put that one also!









This one, unfortunately, crashed on its second flight  :cry:  :cry:  Wing joiner broke (weak aluminium tube :!: ).
As the flights were great (no trim touched etc etc), brand new parts were given, and it is being rebuild  :clap:

Alright, following up on the above photo (the red Ka8), Dédé re-did the first flight.. With a stronger wing joiner this time!
All went perfectly! And he could have stayed hours in the air. A very happy man after the first landing.
He also finished first of the Ka8 at the scale competition in Macon :)

Hey !
That's mine !!! (Hum, my father one's in fact...)
Cool snapshot guys !  :-*

This Ka8 is really a killer and I'm in love with it !  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* Flies so great ! Having also flied her in the French alps on the Semnoz mountain (1700 meters altitude) and it was so great... Need brakes very often to go down !  :o And there was not so much Wind...

I recommend this one !

Coming from you, it means a lot!
And Dédé's ka8 (ok, ok, YOUR Ka8!  ;)) is a beauty! The flight in Macon was fantastic, really looks good in the air!
