Thanks John, I’ll do that ?
-
I built one of these years ago and would like to have another. So it’s a bit of a long shot but would anyone have a plan they can lend for me to copy? I’ll pay postage etc. of course.

Yesterday was nice and calm so quite a few turned out. My friend Tony gave his small models some air time.

Have a good one folks and wishing everyone some good flying in 2022.

Hi Carlos ?
Glad you found this.

Your KK Cadet looks beautiful David. Isn't it strange how after the years of R/C one gets drawn back to the purity of free flight towline glider?
Thanks Robin. Yes indeed. We have a club indoor session every month and, increasingly, I enjoy the rubber FF far more than steering an R/C ultra micro round in circles.
As for the flyaway, I guess it depends how high you tow 'em? I was aiming to stand still and use a winder to haul it up to 20-30ft, no more. Just as these chaps do at 6.52 in this vid'. What could go wrong? ? (it's a great video by the way, well worth a viewing.)

I'm on a bit of a 'stick and tissue' roll at the moment. Just finished this KK Cadet from an old 'cut out the bits' (they weren't always the good old days) version.
Will tow it up next Spring and see what happens.... ?

The weather is telling me to get stuck into the kit pile now.
Just finished this Lacey M-10 peanut. It's sitting on the plan for the next project, a KK Cadet glider.

Not really Martyn. We're not here to (effectively) re-write posts and if the poster feels strongly enough then he's welcome to re-post.
Rather than take a thread off-topic please PM me if you're concerned.
I'll lock this one up as it was just about contacting KLM. Please start a new thread if you want to talk about postage/delivery issues per se.

A couple of provocative political posts have been removed.
-
The threads remain Jeff. We’ve plenty of room and they may help others in the future.

We've just tidied up this thread by removing the uninformed speculation it has attracted.

Sure, just done that Matty. Not sure how/why they came to be unpinned but they back at the top where they belong.

Advocating breaking the law is not something we wish to see on this forum.
One rude post removed and the mods have decided that it's time to lock this thread.
Anyway, hopefully, Harry, you have enough info to go on.

Well I think this topic has run now its course! It would be a shame if the thread ends up falling into the old elephant trap of "castor vs synthetic". I have made my decision and just need to get on with running the engine. Thanks for your all thoughts and ideas. I will report back once the engine has been run a bit.
Agreed David. Time to close this thread.

Yep, saw that ?

I've failed Roy. Finally got the plan from the chap who promised it was the Super 100. Turned out to be the Super Simpleton 96". It seems pretty near identical as far as I can remember, apart from the slightly reduced span. The good news is that it has the instruction sheet.
I'm going to get the plan copied, the instructions too, then I'll have pdf copies for anyone who wants one.

It's probably a good time to draw this one to a close.

A couple of posts removed. Talk about football please folks. Keep your feelings towards politicians to yourself please.
-
Folks, please be aware that posts referencing wars and other jingoistic nonsense will be deleted. It's very boring and there's no need for it.

I think the OP has made his point now so we'll lock this one up.
Speaking personally I'm sure that the situation he describes is probably just an unfortunate event, annoying though it is, and certainly not an intentional trading policy.
I've tweaked the thread title to reflect the discussion's general nature.
