Default what type of katana?

Guys,

Last week I was at a fun-fly and a guy had a katana that flew awesome. he told me the company but I don't remember it. it was an unusual name. I think it sounded foreign. he said it was basically a small version of silvestri's 33 percent katana. it was slightly smaller than a 50cc class because he was doing great vertical uplines with a ZDZ 1.4 on the nose. If anyone knows of a foreign company that sells Katanas around this size, please let me know.

thanks,

Brian


P.S. He said it was a kit, but if it comes as an arf, i would rather have that.

xtreem 3d,

Yours is the plane i am talking about. I just realized it by reading your profile. i am the kid who talked to you at midwest. i sent you an e-mail (Rich gave me your address).
In the e- mail I asked some of the same questions that you have already answered in this thread. didn't know you were the person who owned the actual airplane.
