What about your Doppelraab. Looking at your build thread it looks like you have a lot of work done on it already. You have the fusealage and wings mostly done and it should not take much more time to finsh it.
However that Ka3 does seem to suit you. Suits you sir  :D  :D  :D .

Will get back to the Dopp one day. Can probably build the whole Ka3 in the time it would take me to finish the Dopp. God bless laser cutting! Ohh suit you sir!

Hi,

This is my first post in this forum and I understand that I am resurrecting a very old thread. Sorry

I love this plane, and 1/4 scale suits me fine, but I do not find a "Shop" tab in this webpage. It seems that I can purchase in

http://gliderireland.modelisme.com/planspage.htm

but I find no indication of availability, postage cost to Spain or anything else, apart from a Paypal button.

Also, Islandmodels shows "no stock" for this plan.

Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Miguel

Hi there, looks like Fred did not tidy up his old site.
Here is the current spot for the plans.
Shout a little louder and Fred (shop and forum owner might answer)

https://islandmodels.ie/plans/26-14-scale-opel-rak1-plans.html

Send me a pm with your actual requirements if Fred does not get back to you (very busy at the moment)

Note the link says Opel Rak, but it is in fact the Ka3

Great model to fly by the way

Thanks Ralph,

I noticed that the name of the link is not right, but it is pointing in the right direction, that shows no availability for the plan, unfortunately.

I am on the list for "Notify me when available". Let's see.
If it doesn't work, I will use your kind offer for help and pm you. Thanks again.

Anyway my requirements are simple: I want to know how to purchase a set of 1/4 scale Ka-3 plans and have it sent to Madrid Spain.

And yes, I also think this is a great model to build and fly.

Incidentally, I have been lurking a bit on the forum it it seems a nice community that you have here. Congrats.

Best,
Miguel

Hi Miguel,

Apologies for the silence, and welcome here :)

Indeed, this is a very old link (I think I disabled it around 2010 or so!  ???).
The 1/4 verison of the ka3 is not available, because I try to find time to re-design the wings :) but I just checked, I still have the plans of course, I can print a set for you :)

Buy any 1/4 plans from the Islandmodels website, and put a comment in the order (so I don't make a mistake!!  :-[) and I send it to you.

Plans are on 2 large sheets, and showing all the parts of course.

Hope this helps, and please, do post the construction if you go for it :)

Hi Fred,

thanks for the welcome, I will order a 1/4 scale Grunau Baby, and put a comment. 

Can you please elaborate on the wing changes that you plan to redraw?

Thanks and nice flights,
Miguel
