RC Glider Schleicher Ka 8 – High-Quality Wooden Kit with GRP Fuselage

Are you looking for an RC glider model with soul? The Schleicher Ka 8 is a legend in the sky. This exclusive model building kit from Aeronaut combines the classic look of a vintage glider with state-of-the-art manufacturing methods. Whether for thermal flying on the flats or as a loyal companion for slope soaring – the Ka 8 convinces with an excellent price-performance ratio and excellent flight characteristics.

Precision in Detail: Laser-Cut Wooden Kit Meets GRP

This glider kit was specially developed for model builders who value quality. The highlight: the fuselage is made of robust, white-colored glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP). This saves time during assembly and ensures enormous torsional stiffness.

The wings are built in classic rib construction. Thanks to the high-precision laser parts (laser-cut), all components fit together perfectly, minimizing warping and maximizing stability.

Technical Highlights & Features:

• Hybrid construction: Stable GRP fuselage combined with laser-cut wooden wings.

• Perfect thermal performance: Lightweight rib structure for maximum efficiency in weak thermals.

• Scale look: Includes sturdy landing gear for authentic take-offs and landings.

• Prepared for the installation of airbrakes (optional accessory) for optimal descent assistance.

• Extensive accessories: All important small parts, control horns, and linkages are included in the set.

Why the Ka 8 is a must-have in every hangar:

Among RC model pilots, the Ka 8 is considered the epitome of a docile glider. The model is inherently stable, forgives control errors, and thanks to its semi-scale look, it can be beautifully tracked in the sky. By using laser parts, assembly is absolutely manageable even for re-entrants into wooden model building.

With a wingspan of approx. 3 meters, the Ka 8 can be transported in any car.

The scope of delivery includes:

• A white, high-quality GRP fuselage.

• Precisely laser-cut wooden parts for wings and tailplane.

• A sturdy landing gear.

• A complete small parts set (control horns, linkages, etc.).

• Building templates/jigs for the construction of the wings and tailplane.

• A very detailed building instruction manual.

Required accessories:

For completion, covering film (e.g., Oratex for a scale look), wood glue/superglue, the remote control (RC system), servos, and the optional airbrakes are required.
