hi ralph,
welcome back to the building board! you're dead right about not showing your bits in public, especially coming into the winter. re colours of k8... i think alan's k8 is based on the dublin gliding club's 'yellow 8', so if you did yours as their 'red 8', we would have my k13 and k18, alan's k8 and your own k8 all in the dgc colours. what do you think?

Hi Ger, yes winter is coming and me bits would not be a pretty sight!
As for colours I have no pics of the DGC K8, this is one of the reasons for going with the alt scheme, plenty of pics available. Also I have 20M of white solartex and want to use some up :lol:
Anyhoo I'll see if anyone has pics of the red K8 I would love to have a look.

Cheers

Where is everyone gone?

Fred · « **Reply #23 on:** September 24, 2010, 07:43:20 AM »

I'm here

Sorry, lots of work (finished at 2am yesterday :!: :!: ) and now sick ! (big cold!)

In my opinion (all personnal!

), please, not white or yellow ! Ka8 are like the Ka6, they are all white or yellow !
For a change :

You can steal some "Musger green" from Barry on that one !

But I have to say that can be cool to have all the gliders of the DGC reproduced... Can be a cool photo to do with the full size ones!

Fred this was the original on I was thinking of.

gerryb · « **Reply #25 on:** September 24, 2010, 19:24:13 PM »

a bit close to alan's don't you think? did you see the dgc 8 on the igsa site?

I was looking at those pics and thinking, "that's a HELL of a lot of dihedral!" until I realised it was left wing of one plane and right wing of another :oops: :oops:

Hope you have a good day Andrew. I won't be up I'm just starting to get over the flu. Haven't been at work since Tues, so not really up to a long day out. Think JP is talking about bringing the 808 up

progress.........

now to finish painting the wings!

Anyone know where to get 1 inch elephant tape? I can get 4 inch rolls but it is a 1/4 scale glider and needs the tape for a few repair patches
