tuned pipe vs canister is a bit difficult to answer, but I have a feeling that when I moved the DA50 from
colombo anderson 27% extra (15.5lbs and KS86 canister) to the Katana with KS1060 pipe, I got very similar power to weight ratios between these setups.

But I am sure though that Katana with a DA50 and a pipe has a plenty of power. It actually feels allmost too good in the air to be true.

With the canister it could be just a bit limited on power but for sure it should fly just fine. What I like about my Katana is its sleek feeling in the air. It really gets airspeed up easily probably because of the relatively thin airfoil and you could easily be doing crazy big loops with the canister setup as well no doubt about that.

I actually chose to mount engine inverted just because it was easier for me to order a suitable header from Germany... Didn't have to draw sketches and try to describe the header i need.
