« on: May 25, 2017, 18:22:13 PM »
Just got news that the guys placed their Ka8b and Fokker Baby 2nd, 3rd and 4th place at the scale event!

How's that for a result!! :)

Saturday, PSS!

As for the Menez, sunny and flying! :)

A few photos of the Ka8b and the Fokker Grunau.
And yes, they did a patrol flight with the 3 Ka8 :)

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... :-*
