You do have to know that the Katana's fly different!! In my case its a good difference! I love the way that they fly!! They seem to be more of a precision type airplane to me, the will do some wicked 3D, but then again they will not do some 3D move's that other's will! But all in all the KATANA'S are BAD A$$$$!!! In my opinion!

Please excuse the hijack. The TT webste says 70-85cc for the 35% Katana. Is it also suitable for a 100 twin? Plane looks very nice BTW.

Rocky McCarter · 07-13-2009, 11:00 AM

Yes I had a da 100 in mine

Very nice video! I always love the way Katana's fly!! and this would be a much cheaper route over the Krill Katana! Any price on the 40% yet??

Does it have the option of a clear canopy for those who wish to fly it in a class other than basic?
Plane does appear to fly really light.

Rocky McCarter · 07-14-2009, 10:37 AM

No they are all smoked like that on Mike

I have about 15 flight on the Katana and it dose fly light, this is a very well behaved plane. My first impression flying this plane was you would not know your flying a $ 1300.00 ARF I am not an IMAC fly er but this plane flys pretty straight and could be very easily tweaked just like any other plane for competitive IMAC. Knife edge is almost hands off left to right and the rudder is effective and has good feel on the stick, I was surprised how little couple the plane had on roll. The TT Katana 3d's great harrier rolls great the plane will slow down very good and also the plane doesn't need allot of speed to do all of the maneuvers. In my honest opinion if your looking for something different that is a good all around solid plane this would be the choice
