I'm both intrigued and amused by your wife's memories. Did you ever find out what made this hooting sound by any chance ?
Plenty of hours in Ka8's, probably
the best early solo single seater ever built. Wouldn't bite you, would soar in next to sod all lift, you could actually "hover" it if the wind was right and so very easy to fly as well rig / de-rig
