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.

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

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.
