39% Krill Katana Setup
Hello!
I'm building a 39% Krill Katana, that I will use to fly IMAC (Unlimited) and Freestyle competitions. This is my first 150cc own plane, so it would be great if you could help me out with the setup: DA150 exhaust? I'm almost sure I will use cans, but don't know which one. I have tried two Katanas with the DA150 and PEFA cans, and they run great, however, I don't know if they're the best option. So, PEFA, MTW, KS, BMB...? Servos: I was thinking in using 2 hitec 5955 for each elevator, 2 for each aileron and 3 for rudder. I'm struggling to decide whether use 2 or 3 servos for each aileron (I've seen Glezellis and Jason Noll with 3 servos, although Bruckmann uses 2...) I hope you can help with this

Re: 39% Krill Katana Setup
also wasn't 100% sure about the engine. Maybe a 3w 157...

Re: 39% Krill Katana Setup
Also a thing I noticed at the shootout is that it may be the best a freestyle but not very good at precision

Re: 39% Krill Katana Setup
 I spoke with John Gonzellis's dad at TAS, and If I remember correctly, he explained to me that they had better performance running KS pipes over the Greeves on a DA 150.

Re: 39% Krill Katana Setup
I want to say it was the guy who won freestyle.

Re: 39% Krill Katana Setup
Gernot Bruckmann was running the 3w 170 with bmb pipes on his sequence plane. I think his freestyle plane had a DA 150 in it, but I could be wrong.

Re: 39% Krill Katana Setup
not good at Precision? OOOOKKKKKKKKKKKaayyyyy. I would beg to differ on that one. Mine has definetly took me to my next level of flying in IMAC...so with the statement above, I guess the new line of QQ 120" Yak is not good at Precision (Ivan Kristenesn flew one) either?, as are many other designs that didnt 'win' the shootout....kind of a random statment, dont you think?

Re: 39% Krill Katana Setup
I would think it would be the opposite way around. The plane is stretched quite a bit which would make it a better sequence plane. Gernot's was definetly set up just right for freestyle though.
It looks like a great all around airplane that should fly really well no matter what you do with it.
