Default RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

I replaced the substandard CA hinges (even Aeroworks suggested replacing them) with Robarts. Installed OK. I had purchased CF tbes and titanium ends for the pushrods, but the aileron linkage is extremely short, not long enough for two titanium ends so I'll have to go with a threaded 4-40 rod for the ailerons. Shouldn't be too bad.

I'm going to try my Futaba 9451 on the pull-pull. They are 120.8 oz in of tourque, so it may be replaced after the initial flights. My "coach" has suggested that this servo should be OK.

FYI on the Ultracote Colors. I called in today to get the lowdown for the Red/White/Blue Katana:

RED is Ultracote True Red #866
Yellow is Ultracode CUb Yellow #884
White is probably just the generic Ultracote White. I haven't tried to match it yet, but don't really need to.
Sorry I don't have specs on the Yellow Katana, but....
