Does anyone know if there are there any desingn differences between the Exclusive Modellbau kits and the Krill ARF other than being composite?

xtreem3d · 09-09-2006, 06:59 AM

the krill wing, stab, rudder are much thinner that the emhw, the stabs on the emhw are about 60/40 whereas the krill is about 50/50. the emhw is a 126" wing so it's an all around bigger plane. rudder and ail's seemed to be about the same ratio in size. IMO..i liked the emhw katana better because i felt it flew better slower (ie: 3d) the stab is more in line on the krill also..fwiw

I have to listen to their dogs bark every time I go in and out of my drive way, so they don't really have a leg to stand on. Here are the pics, maiden is tomorrow morning.

I really like the spring setup!

I am building a super xtra and have been considering that technique, but was wondering how far the plate holding the reciever could potentially move down towards the rudder servo tray???

A friend of mine bought the Exclusife Katana with 3.10 span he setted a mvvs 116 on it..

I might buy the 2,48 katana from Exclusife

How's the Katana????

DKjens · 09-14-2006, 04:25 PM

notorious benny,
The KatanaS is the fourth composite plane I am suspending the Power Expander and Rx in this way. I look at how heavy the whole tray is, and just try to judge how stiff and long the springs should be. I go to my local OSH hardware store and find some springs I think will work. I suspend it fairly stiff, and there is no way, short of in an impact, that the tray can move enough to touch anything.

Cracky,
Well, maiden went well, for about 4 minutes. It developed an exhaust leak after around 4 minutes. It's amazing how crappy a 2-stroke engine runs with an exhaust leak. I landed the plane, and both Teflon couplers between headers and cans were literally burnt away. And no, I did not have an excessive gap between header and pipe. A local friend welded a sleeve onto the cans, that allow them to slide over the headers. There are two slot cut in the sleeves, so a hose clamp tightens them securely around the headers. That was fixed by the following week, but now I didn't get good range check for crap, even with engine NOT running. I repositioned antenna and changed RX, to no avail. I got a base loaded Deans antenna, cut the antenna wire to 10", soldered the connector on, positioned the antenna inside the clear canopy, and now I got good range. I had one flight with it last weekend and all went well. I've been flying with mufflers for a while now, and I have to get used to how silent the engine is with the cans, the prop rips nice though he he.
The plane is very sleek, and I have some dificulty landing it at my place in no wind conditions, it doesn't slow down very well, and I don't want to run chances if loosing the engine on final. Hopefully we'll get some wind this weekend and I can put more time on her. She is extremely responsive on ailerons, doh, look at the size he he.
I am also installing some stiffening to the main gear, there is very little prop clearance and the gear is rather flexy.

I remember watching Kissel's Katana fly and I remembered that it was pretty sleek.....I think this is the first time a GS pilot has asked for wind...haha

GmanBill · 09-23-2006, 09:21 PM

Drive over and fly it at the basin Jens, there is alwayse a bit of a wind there. I'll probably be flying my 80" katana next week, let me know if you are coming over.

paul byrum · 09-24-2006, 07:02 PM

Dear friends...

And now pics from my Pilot to put in Katana 39%...

What do you think?

TimDavie · 09-30-2006, 10:10 PM

It's best at 3D, not precision(in my opinion). Ailerons are huge so it doesn't lock up in a high alpha roll. harriers better inverted. Better Blenders than most extras. loving it so far.

Sweeeet!!
