I just got on here.  Been building/flying RC for close to 30 years, not a super scale builder but like to make my airplanes look as realistic as possible.  As building is turning into a dying art (or so it seems) hoping to stay connected with other builders.

Among other things, I like aerotowing, and have been having a blast at it with foamies (Ka-8 sailplane and first a FunCub and now an Agwagon towplane) but really would like to get into the larger stuff.

Are you talking about the Parkzone Ka-8?--or the Phoenix Models Ka-8?  I started out with the Parkzone several years ago and we towed it with a FunCub.  Then I got tired of the flim flam landing gear on the FunCub and rigged a Dynam Agwagon with a tow release.  Lots of fun.

There is intermittent availability on the Phoenix 3.5 meter Ka-8 and a while back I grabbed one, but it's still in the box.

Either way, as long as you have a buddy you trust flying either your sailplane or towplane it's a ton of fun.

I meet up with a gang for slope soaring once or twice a year, and where we go here in western Colorado I've flown that Ka-8 in slope lift that makes the wings flap like a bird (I keep waiting to snap a wing).
