On the other hand, Foka gives significantly better performance.

L/D 34 vs 30

The K6e is a gem of an aircraft,a little twitchy with its all flying tail
but put your arm on your leg and fly with 2 fingers on the stick fixes that
.
They thermal well and run well for a wooden aircraft ,easy to rig and
handle.
On rigging you have to be careful to place the spar almost in position so
as not to damage the wing root fairings and to make sure the retaining clips
are all facing the correct way so as not to foul control rods etc .
Maitenance is the same as any wood and fabric bird .

Is there anyone who has experience with both of these sailplanes? They
seems at the same price range but I don't know what would be the
difference during xc flights. What about the maintenance, handling and
any other issues?
Thanks for your advice!
