Ka6e vs Foka4 by
Janos Bauer
Is there anyone who has experience with both of these sailplanes? They

difference during xc flights. What about the maintenance, handling and
any other issues?
Thanks for your advice!

Ray Lovinggood

hooks (Schweizer 2-33, 1-26, and Blanik L-13) and wondered
what happens when flying a ship with a CG hook.
What happens?
Can the tow rope scratch the bottom of the ship?
Can the upward pull on...
