 Re: TMP Katana 70 vs Accel Hobby Katana 70
Be careful with that ebay version. A guy a fly with had one that was a real piece of junk. This was about a year ago, so I really hope yours is better. The fuselage was hollow where the landing gear bolted on, the wood on the motor mount split on the third flight (motor fell off when the starter was engaged), & then the fuse broke in half on the fourth or fifth flight. They stripped it down, added some light ply to the sides & some reiforcement between the fuse sides and got another month or two out of it, but for the $75.00 he paid for it, he was not happy.
On a brighter note, I got the .40 size one about two years ago and it's my favorite plane. Guess I got lucky.
Good luck,
Jay
