with the highest quality and the best possible performances.
We wish you a great success while assembling and flying your new Ka-8b.
You were already numerous to appreciate our 1:5 and 1:4 scale Ka-8b, with a 3 meters or 3.75 meters wingspan. Thus, we decided
to offer the same sailplane with 1:3 scale, which increase the span to 5 meters. You have here a very large sailplane! Every qualities
of his "little brothers" are found obviously, and even are still improved, because larger a model is, better the output is! It can obviously
receive our exclusive motor system with an easy to remove propeller which does not affect the shape of the nose with a spinner. With
this power system, you can fly without the needd of a tug plane, and hand launch the sailplane alone, without fear.
Ka-8b key features

The Ka-8b is covered with Oracover®, very easy to maintain.

The powerful motor make possible to fly without a tug plane and makes it safe to fly at slope. Climb rate: 5 m/s !

Four electric spoilers make landing very easy on short runways and have no coupling effect on pitch.

And of course... the model is delivered fully assembled and covered, you just have to make final assembly, install the radio system

and the motor.
With the Ka-8b, you can practice soaring on flat fields as well as for slope soaring. You have with this sailplane a realistic semi-scale
model in flight, which can be accessed to modellers used to manage turns with rudder and ailerons.

Additional informations:

The optional motor is fitted with a long shaft, and the propeller can be removed in less than one minute! You can change from

"Electric Sailplane" to "Pure Sailplane" according to your mood.
The big rudder make easy to fly with the "old sailplanes" style.
