The K8 in question had a replacement wing from a different glider and some
other repairs - maybe the CG hook was not ideally placed relative to the
revised CG? The glider has now gone, so can't check this out.

I learnt flying gliders on a Ka7/Ka8 combo (only winching), later
instructing, and I never came across a behaviour of a Ka8 as you describe
it. Completely simple and controlable.
