Flight testing of my 6 mtr K8 wings

[Euan Galloway]

just a short video of my K8 flying in 25/30 mph winds and getting a good workout including loops and some fast passes.
I also rolled the K8 and bunted it without my modified wings complaining , I have modified four sets of wings so far and non have failed ?
cheers Euan.

K8 looks to be going well there Euan. What is the finished weight now?

Were you flying it near Kirby Thore off the A66? Lovely-looking site.

Rog ,
Hows things ? not weighed it but my mods added approx 2lbs per wing .
This is a site known as Tailbridge and takes a west / south west wind with parking at the launch area it is near
Kirkby Stephens .
our flat field site is off the A66 near Kirkby Thore ,
cheers Euan.

Looking good, I hope you managed to miss all those hard bits sticking out of the grass on landing

Frank the launch area is a bit on the rocky side but landings are in a clear area and usually happen without incident ?
cheers Euan.

Life's good thanks Euan - term finished yesterday! Done zero building/flying this year until the last few weeks when I've sloped some 4m - 5m gliders off the cliff above our house. Man I have missed modelling! Last weekend had epic thermals off the field next to our house - just point the glider at the dirtiest cloud and hear the vario scream! I flew my Alpina for 80 mins off one 20 second motor run.

Your sites look lovely and I'm hoping to get a couple of days flying in the Lakes this summer so will bear it in mind - it's on my way.

All the best,
Rog

Keith,
Yes its the 6 mtr version with the known issues, if you search this site I have posted lots of details and some pictures that may help .
I have now modified 8 sets of wings for other people with the same model so if I can help send me a pm ,
thanks Euan.
