hi fred,
i wrote my few words as above and then tried to add photos from my photo file but nothing appeared in the preview box.

i took the photos with my camera phone, would that be the problem?

Scale / 1/3 scale Ka1/Ka3 combo
« on: January 26, 2017, 22:59:55 PM »
to quote baldrick, 'i have a cunning plan......!'  rudolph kaiser designed and built the ka1 and ka3 gliders to use the same wings and v-tail, so why not do the same thing in model form?

fred has already done the ka3 as a kit in 1/3 sc and the ka1 in 1/4 sc so if he did the ka1 in 1/3 sc you could have 1 set of wings and tail and
2 fuselages for 2 different models.

i know he has been working on the plans of the ka1 for some time, so hopefully the kit will be available soon.

in the meantime, i've started building the ka3, tail first, on the wings at the moment and the fuse next week.  unfortunately, for some reason my photos won't load up.

can anyone suggest how i can solve this problem?

regards,

gb

and excellent stability in a training aircraft.  why aren't all trainers built like this?  i don't know for sure but  maybe it's the construction. to give you an idea of what's involved in building a wing like this, stand with your arms outstretched with your palms turned down, now raise your arms for dihedral, bring them forward for the sweep and now twist your palms so that your little fingers are above your thumbs.  great fun, and the cause of many sleepless nights trying to figure it all out.  well worth it in the end though when you see it flying

outstanding workmanship andy, well done!!!!!  hope you enjoy it for many years to come.  mine is 24 years old this month and i still get a kick out of seeing it in the air.  just love those forward swept wings.

well done again.

my car (ford s-max) did that on me fred, going into limp mode.  turned out it was a fuel injection (diesel) problem. have you checked that out?

i hope to be there ralph, the glide in that is not the north pole.

slope soaring at the north pole?,  you'll want to be well wrapped up for that!
