Re: i love katana's
Have you dudes ever seen a full scale Katana? Ugliest airplane I've ever seen. Makes a good match for the brutally ugly Rastrepus. I'll look for some photos so save the old THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PHOTO thing!

Re: i love katana's
Biff.. I believe this is what you were refering to.
I heard of taking artistic license.. BUT DAMN..... I think only the front part of the hatch and the cowl holes are releated to the model we know as the katana?!?! This is ONE UGLY ASS PLANE!

Re: i love katana's
Um, actually that (Sleepy's pic) is not the aircraft the model "Katana" is patterned after. The plane we refer to as a Katana is a Terzi T-30 "Katana" and can be found here:

Re: i love katana's
That's the one Davide! Have you seen the Rastrepus (super star spelled backwards) ? By the way, the photos of the Katana you posted are of the most pleasing lines. Side veiw on ground? OOOOPH!!!

Re: i love katana's
"Have you seen the Rastrepus"
Looks like someone ate his way threw a boneyard and puked up the partially digested parts of several one-off design rejects as a whole plane. t |

Re: i love katana's
Here's something interesting.... EVERYONE knows that the FUNTANA had flutter issues...
CHECK this out... SO did the full size!! NTSB Identification: CHI88DEC02 . The docket is stored on NTSB microfiche number 39193. 14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Wednesday, May 25, 1988 in PONTIAC, MI Probable Cause Approval Date: 7/9/1990 Aircraft: CHAPPEL RATSREPUS 300, registration: N889HC Injuries: 1 Fatal. THE PILOT WAS TESTING THIS EXPERIMENTAL ACROBATIC AIRCRAFT, MAKING A SECOND LOW PASS OVER THE RUNWAY WHEN A PORTION OF THE LEFT WING SEPARATED FROM THE AIRCRAFT, FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF THE LEFT AILERON, 1 1/2 ROLLS TO THE LEFT AND GROUND IMPACT. THE AIRFRAME TOTAL TIME WAS 4 HOURS. ON-SCENE INSPECTION REVEALED NO MASS BALANCE IN THE AILERONS. WITNESSES ESTIMATE SPEEDS AT OR ABOVE 150 MPH. A DESIGNATED ENGINEERING REPRESENTATIVE IN THE AREA OF FLUTTER AND VIBRATION STATED HE HAD RECOMMENDED THAT THE AIRSPEED BE LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 135 MPH UNTIL GROUND VIBRATION TESTS WERE CONDUCTED. The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows: DESTRUCTIVE WING/AILERON FLUTTER IS SUSPECTED, BUT NOT SUFFICIENTLY SUBSTANTIATED THROUGH RESEARCH AND CALCULATIONS TO BE CITED AS THE PROBABLE CAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT.
