My main memory is rigging the club 4... Very heavy centre section that must be held close to fuselage in order to connect controls; nervous work. Outer panels light. There is a flight report in Winning on the Wind vol 1 page 31-33; he found it slightly superior to the Ka-6, though larger and heavier.. He liked the handling and comfort for a tall man.
