Katana 40% was maidened a month ago - no problems, two clicks up - she was nose heavy.
The zdz 160 cc super is awsome ito of power. Running slightly rich on bottom and top, motor tried to die on my so I kept the flying calm. THIS PLANE IS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMER!!!

PERMISSION FOR THE COLOR SCHEME WAS GRANTED BY SEBA.

Here are some photos and link to video.

I think the centering issue is a heat issue. Some guys cut cooling slots into the bottom alu housing and the centering is improved.

BB, I am running it at 7.4 volt rudder always on full throw, no issues - I think going closer to 12 volt is causing the overheating problems.

Good Luck with the 37.5% Yak, I am green with envy! Think I must buy the 50% now!!
Did you consider the ZDZ 160cc Super, This motor is incredible, I put the choke on a slider switch - starts very easy!

Cheers!

Not that I can recall. Was just the price of plane and shipping.
