Comment:
The Ka-7 is a two-place tandem trainer which has very effective dive brakes. It onve held the multi-place world record for speed around a 500 km. Triangle at 84 kph/ 45 kt/ 52 mph, set in South Africa in 1964. It succeeded the earlier Ka-2 model, differing mainly by the introduction of a steel tube, fabric covered fuselage in place of wood/ fabric.
