Default KATANA???

Does anyone know anything about the world models/airborne models 100cc katana? It's cheep an there's a good review on RCU. Is it all it's cracked up to be?

i've got a used one for sale right now! it flew great with a DA 100 on reg muffs. this one is probably only about a 7 or so out of 10 due to some hangar rash and such but it is structurally sound and for the price it can't be beat!!!

ONLY $300 if you come and get it!

Can be a bit underpowered with a 100 cc motor on hot days...

I didn't think the KE was that good.. it will do it... but needs a lot of power and body angle...
In a blow over, it can at times decay into an inverted flat spin that is a bit tuff to recover from...
But it is a nice flying plane... a bit junky... tends to fall apart a little bit... mostly anti-torque pins break loose...

A World Models plane would be my personal LAST choice for a model.... QQ or Ace-Thunder Tiger are better overall values.

I believe it is the same plane, world models was once a supplyer to aeroworks, once they got rid of half their line, world models took over selling these planes directly.
