graphics on katana v2
I planted my accel kat this past weekend. I am intrested in the new v2 katana but I'm not italian and that flag looks tacky on the wing. How much trouble is it to remove the flag?? Or is is monokoted on?

I'm not good at removing stickers, though they say it's easy.. I always end up
messing something up.... I started taking my "flag" off of my V2.. I got the green
off no problem, but not so lucky on the middle stripe... So I re-stuck it and added
the Blue... For the Red, White and Blue effect:-))))))))

In that case I think I will get the EF Edge. I just think that flat is sooooo ugly. The stars and bars red white and blue is a better mix of colors but still...I would like to have room for my own custom graphics.

You know its not the only plane out there. I have had the accel version (without flag) and it flew awesome as I am sure this one does as well. I think I am going to order one anyway and try to take the flag off. Maybe recover that wing if I have to. Or add the blue like raideron did. What can I say I love my country and no other...so pull up your skirt and fly that red white and blue

I cant promise that the graphics will come off w/o a problem (then there would be a post about the graphics not sticking hehehe), it would be worth a try. Couple of options. 1 Leave it alone, 2 add the blue[sm=wink.gif] or make sure your own design covers it LOL[8D]
All the same, this plane is awesome in the air and well worth it no matter what ya end up doing

RE: graphics on katana v2
southern_touch9... This may be a no no.... No price difference to speak of, But I flew one
of these first, and really liked it and the way it flew.. and was the one I was waiting for,
then the V2 came out and the other was still out of stock so I got the V2.... Mainly
because of the removable wings... But you know I never took them off..... My Kat died:-(((((
I may repair her, she did fly great... I thought of replacing it... (You know how repairs
can be) But I think if I do get another profile, I'd have to try the one I wanted... and is
now in stock.. The E.F. yak 540T.... Hardware is not as good, and it's an older design..
But they both fly great.... But one is a bit lighter...

RE: graphics on katana v2
I have the Accel V1 Katana(white), I pulled the blue checkerboard off of it. The decal itself came off pretty easy, but it left behind a residue of glue, some of it you could roll off with yer fingers, but the best thing to do was take some acetone/trimsolvent to it to get it off. Heres how it looks now. this is all monokote applied with windex and heat
