Kamov Ka-8B is a two-seater version (fictional) of my previous Ka-8 replica with improved controls and more powerful engines for a 2-seater. If you are new to helicopters, please check out my 2-minute video on "How to control Ka-8" - this is the simplest helicopter to control. Ka-8 Testing/How to control VIDEO

History:


Ka-8
First flight 1947
Number built 5

The Kamov Ka-8 was a small, single-seat Soviet helicopter that first flew in 1947. It was a precursor of the Ka-10. The Ka-8 was powered by a 27 hp M-76 engine, boosted to 45 hp by using alcohol for fuel - It was derived from a previous Kamov design, the KA-17. Comrades, use the fuel only for flying the helicopter; please do not drink Lol.

How to fly:

AG1 to turn on the ignitation -
VTOL at 100% (Highest) for upward thrust
VTOL down slowly to move down.
You need some practice flying a helicopter if you are new. But this build is very easy to fly.

HOW TO FLY (basic)

This applies for MOST of the helicopters but not for AutoGyros, V-22 types
