The Katana 50 has been conceived with the serious 3D flyer in mind. Designed from the ground up as a high performance aerobatic performer the model features a carefully selected airfoil section to the wing and tail surfaces that combine to give the model outstanding 3D performance and aerobatic flight. Optional side force generators (SFG) enhance rudder control making for perfect sustained knife-edge manoeuvres.
Overall large flight control surfaces allow the Katana 50 to perform extreme aerobatics such as hovers, harriers, knife edge loops, blenders and just about anything else the pilot can throw at it, making it the perfect model with which pilots can perfect their aerobatic flying abilities.
The traditionally built model features a built-up balsa and plywood airframe that is both light and durable, whilst the two-piece plug in wings with carbon wing tubes make assembly and transport to the flying field convenient and easy. The fuselage has a large removable top-hatch that provides easy access to the fuel tank or flight batteries if you are using electric power in the Katana and the pre-painted fibreglass cowl and wheel spats are perfectly matched to the striking Ultracote yellow, red and silver colour scheme.
Hangar 9's clever design allows the Katana 50 to be powered by any .46 - .55 size two-stroke glow engine, or it may be set up with electric power straight from the box with no additional modification needed.
All of the mounting hardware is included and the E-flite Power52 brushless outrunner is the perfect partner for silent, powerful 3D aerobatics.
