This may be the first Katana .50 size ARF available in
the US. We are dedicating this model to the sport flyer
/ 3D flyer looking for a modern design to install the
most popular engine size in the modeling community, the
.40 - .50 class. The Katana is a great aerobatic performer.
The Katana design has gained popularity in the US over
the past couple years.
Flown by Sebastiano Silvestri in the Tournament of Champions,
this design proved to be a competitor against the typical
Extra’s, and Edge’s. This Katana has a predictable
stall and good slow speed characteristics. The construction
consists of the traditional “built-up” balsa
and ply techniques. Precision, Artistic Freestyle, and
3D maneuvers are all within the capabilities of this model.
We tested the model with the YS .63 which provided unlimited
vertical performance. Additional engines tested were the
OS .40 - .50, MDS .48 2 – stroke, and the OS .70
4 – stroke. This plane is feature packed. View the
features in the highlights below.
