Mike,

Nice build and great looking Katana. You will absolutely love the way this airplane flies. Having flown mine on both electric and gas I can say that this is one of the best flying 85" airplanes I have ever flown.

Mike...Looks like you're running (3) A123 pacs....2 for redundancy on the receiver/servos, or?

Been thinking about the same setup for my 3DHS 87" Extra.

Tim...how did you have yours setup with gas?

Yes three A123 packs. Two of them to my Smartfly Power Expander and the other to my ignition for the DL-50. I have the power expander mounted and all just have to take and post the picks. Maybe tonight i will

Alright here are some pics of the power expander, ignition battery, optical kill, and switches/charge jacks. Please excuse the wire mess right now. I still have the batteries to mount and balance the plane. I will clean the wire mess once everything is final mounted. Prop is suppose to here today FINALLY!! If so i will post the finished pics this weekend if things go right and i get it done.

Earle,

When I had the Brillelli 50GT in the Katana I was simply running a 2700mah Nimh pack on the rx through my Sport Plus Power Expander and a 1400mah Nimh on the ignition.

I have since switched over to a 2s 2300mah A123 pack on the rx.

Tim
