Default Krill 33% Katana questions

Anyone have a 33% Krill Katana? Have a couple questions. First, anyone running cans on it, if so what is the header drop? Second, how much room is there beneath the wing spars and bottom of fuse, landing gear mount, etc. Curious if there is enough room for a 2" tuned pipe in there. Thanks!

Yeah, not sure on that.

I wanted to buy a 36% Katana but I couldnt really get anywhere with the guy who is supposed to be the importer.

Krill will no longer sell direct to the US anymore, you have to go through the US Distributor. He is holding a 33% for me right now, trying to find the cheapest shipping to get it from NH to here in TX. Trying to figure out if my ES Carbon pipes will fit in it.

The plane is $1390. He is trying to find a cheaper shipping solution than the $180 that FedEx and UPS want, so that is the holdup. I will be putting my BME 115 and a set of full length ES Composites tuned pipes in it. The 115 with headers and those pipes will still weigh 1.5lbs less than a DA or 3W.

The US importer is Phillip Barnnett pbarnnett@skylineaviationonline.com I think the only one he has in stock right now is the 39%, not sure when the next batch will come.

Razr...When Krill quoted me on a 33% it was 1390 delivered to the nearest Int. Airport...I think Phillips prices are high...I've been waiting for a shipping quote on a 39% since mid november...Don't think it's going to happen for some reason
