Seagull Ka8b - Engine install and mods

[selleri]

I did some aditional mods on mine, two servos used for the elevator.


And so we can tell them apart the front end is a bit different!  :lol:

Few pictures from todays flying, much better light and less overcast. Flew couple of batteries on my mates plane, can't wait to get mine airborne!









My mate isn't going to use the barn doors, very effective way of bringing it down.

Well it had to happen, mine took to the sky today!

I should think you’re feeling pretty dam pleased with yourself Selleri.  What a magnificent machine! And all hand built, well done. :clap:

Keith.

(Er,….you wouldn’t like to pop down to Ireland and finish off some of my projects for me,   would you? )

[selleri]

Cheers, maybe hand modded but not much building going on.    

No problem mate, just send me the itinerary and tickets!   :wink:

Amazing what little bit of snow and spit can do!   :wink:

Nice on the slope too!

How long was the new motor shaft for the brushless motor ?

[selleri]

I'm afraid I don't remember but if you look for the motor you should be able to find the specs.

Thanks for the reply, I will check. I have ordered the Seagull KA8B, red and yellow scheme. Looking forward to flying her. Stay safe, happy new year to you !!

Hi there. Just bought a seagull Ka8B for slope soaring and it's been a while since I've flown. Was wondering where your c of g was. Is it still 60mm from the leading edge as per the manual or as some people have done nearer 80mm. Looked cold when you were flying. Iam a bit too old for that much cold. I liked the conversion to electric.

Welcome to the forum!

I can't answer your question as I don't have one, so hopefully Sverrir will chip in, but I think I heard you need to be careful with the decalage. Maybe something to check also, not sure if our friend from the Land of Ice had to do it or not.
