Excellent review Tank!

Great review Tank. In the last year there's been so many *got to have* airframes that have been released around this size. Since I can only afford one at a time, it's reviews like this that help me make up my mind. Thanks.

Thanks for doing the review, Tank, great work.

If anyone has any questions, I'll check in on this thread every day for a while and you can always talk to us at the warehouse 1-830-990-6978. Phones are pretty busy right now, so I apologize if it's hard to get through.

Also, we'll be introducing molded carbon-fiber landing gear as an add-on option for this plane in a few weeks. Tank, want to review the LG, too?

My son has been flying the 47" version, and an early prototype of the 85" version. Both are exceptional performers.

My son said something about the small version that I thought I would never hear him say: "It has too much elevator control". I can only imagine how well the 55" version flies.

I have the 47" Katana and it's a blast! Right now it's my favorite due to it fits in my trunk, performes excellent and flies everywhere! The Torque motor is almost too much! www.3dhobbyshop.com has a repeat customer and can't wait for the 57" to come out.

I absolutely love this airplane fellas! Only changes I have made since I started flying it was after the battery was broken in, I changed the prop out to a 15x6 and 15x7Xoar that I got from 3D Hobbyshop, and it added even more power. I have yet to try the 15x6 APC, but the Xoars work awsome, and have a slight "mean" look to them on the ground!!! The only other change I made was increasing my servo arm size from the stockers that came with the HS225MGs. It kicked my throws up big time and I am able to ring it out even more than before. Finding larger servo arms for the 225s was easy, as I openup some boxes for some new 5955s that I have, and yanked some of the stock plastic arms out of those boxes. My charger to charge larger packs recently died on me, and it is killing me not being able to fly this airplane. I can't wait for my charger to come back from repairs! If anyone has any questions regarding my setup, or the airplane in general, don't hesitate to contact me! I hope to have a new video up soon really ringing it out, as I was taking it easy in that first vid while breaking in the battery packs! Thanks again to 3DHobbyShop for giving me the opportunity to review such a great product! Its great to see that have a whole line of 55" airframes coming out!

My son Matt had a chance to fly the larger Kat at SEFF earlier this year. He loved it! Absolutely awesome performance from the new Torque motor, it was a rocket!

We just got the small Velox in and I will be getting that together and flying soon. Will have to decide which other plane to pull the gear out of.

Very well done review Tank!! There is no doubt that this airplane will redefine the 40 sized electric market. With a finished RTF weight of under 5 lbs. and over a 1000 watts of fun on the prop this airplane is just BALLISTIC!! I am looking forward myself to seeing the carbon fiber landing gear. Just another great feature that Ben is incorporating into an already fantastic airplane.

Great job once again Tank!!

Tank, great review, we too are almost ready to fly ours. Guys, this plane literally is ready to fly in a few hrs. Electric is here, and in our faces fellas.Coming from large Gasoline burning twins..... Boy, we've been missing the boat here, it's a no brainer, and now with all of the R&D, and homework done, folks can just plug, and play, with endless hrs of fun. 3DHS has done all of the "guess-work", that was previously associated with electrics, this insures a "10" on the Fun-Meter.
First class workmanship, and a perfect fit.The wing loading looks to be exceptional, stay tuned for some videos. This series of 55 inch "Super Light Wing Loading" aircraft is a must addition to the electric fleet. A true airfolied tail is a welcome sight, and surely to accent the great flying already demonstrated be Tank! Looks like Ben, and the 3DHS Gang, have raised the bar once again.
