Here are a bunch of photos from the very nicely built 1/3 Scale Ka3 from Mike_a (on the forum).
Totally deserve its own thread!  :clap:

First flight is planned for Monday, and I'm sure Mick will keep us updated :) Fingers crossed!  :D

hi fred
yes fixable just need to maybe get another plan from you for front formers , or might be best just to build new fuse
great testament to design though , as i think any other plane would have been totalled
do you do just fuse kits ?
the wings are untouched , just wing joiner gone
cheers mick
