From time to time, I receive photos and build logs for gliders built from my plans or our kits...
Here are 2 photos of what is so far, the most beautiful 1/3 Ka3 I know !
First flight was done 2 days ago, all went well !
Built from the Kit, with wings plywood sheeted, and all the scale details ! (shame to have to cover all that at the end !  :(  )

Congratulations to the builder / pilot !  :clap:

hi ralph,  the 1/4 scale version has holes in the 1st few ribs out from the root for the tubes that take the joiner rod.  this sets the dihedral angle.  i assume the 1/3 version is the same or "doth i assume too much?"
