Introducing

    The Ka-8 was derived from the Ka-6 series as a simple single-place sailplane with dive brakes using construction techniques similar to the Ka-7. The prototype K 8 made its first flight in November 1957 and over 1,100 were built in three main versions. Karl Striedeck of the U.S. made a 767 km/ 476.6 miles ridge flight in a Ka-8b to win the world out and return in 1968.
