Flair Ka8b
After having built and flown several ARF/ARC scale sailplanes,
the Flair Ka8b was my first "woodie" scale sailplane.
The kit is made by FLair in England, and is a 1/4 scale reproduction of
Schleicher's famous workhorse, with very high scale fidelity. By now I am
already on my
second Ka8, after having sold the first one in a moment of temporary
insanity....
Also, I liked the Flair kist so much, that I also became an importer for them
