Any thoughts on the Ka-8?

Things to watch out for?
Difficulty rigging?

These are getting pretty old - get a *really* good inspection.
Especially glue joints!
One of these lost a chunk of wing in flight a few years back
due to deteriorated glue (landed safely but yikes).

Enjoy,
Best Regards, Dave



This particular one has had a full BGA type inspection by Chad Wille.
