Ka8B, Carbon, Vintage Glider, Span 4500mm, for Electric Drive, D-Power # GL08
The K8 by Schleicher is a single-seat glider from the 1950s, primarily used as a training aircraft for beginners due to its robust construction. This true-to-original replica by Phoenix – with an impressive wingspan of 4.50m – is manufactured using the latest laser-cut technologies as a lightweight and high-strength wooden construction, which delights with its enormous attention to detail.
Extremely high degree of prefabrication
The model is made of extremely light and high-strength, laser-cut balsa wood construction. The design stands out due to its exceptionally high degree of prefabrication, which reduces the construction effort almost exclusively to the installation of the drive system and electronics. The model is prepared for airbrakes and is also completely and accurately covered with iron-on film.
Numerous Scale Details
The KA8B from Phoenix Model comes with numerous scale details from the factory. Many beautiful detailed solutions make the model look like the original. But it's not just on the ground that the model bears a striking resemblance to its prototype – the KA8B also boasts an impressively true-to-original flight image in the air.
Designed for electric propulsion
The 4.50m model is designed for electric propulsion, which efficiently pulls the model into thermals.
