Lovely, Petr, well done...!

Very nice, puts our 1/3rd scale one to shame. Can you give some details, i.e. Wing sections used, c of g position and decalage. Ours is very "squirrely" if towed too fast and while flying OK the elevator doesn't allow a really good flare out.

Loverly glider, nice to see working brakes too. However this might sound strange, can you give some details on the 'V tail" tug please?
I am in the process of building a tug and I've always thought a "V tail" the most sensible way to go.

Thanks

Congratulations on a lovely model and video. Nice to hear the silence of glider flight after the tug lands. Are elevator movements very sensitive?

Hello,

Flying habits are excelent. It is my second Kaczka. First is in 1/3 scale. It was dificult to learn it fly. But now is realy perfect.
Small Kaczka can fly acrobatic figures.

Thanks for info on the tug.
A solid looking model, though a bit bigger than I'm looking for. I might try the V-tail though on my model.

Thanks and well done on your IS-5.
