Default RE: 50cc Kantana 85

Barchiola, I wont fly until spring and it is not ready yet. The manual they send shows the other Katana except they list the flying weight as 17 lbs. and it feel it but I havent tried to weigh it. The joints seem to be glued lightly or not at all. I will use a DM 55 engine in mine but I had to cut the firewall back 2" and it was lucky I did as the firewall was keyed into the fuse sides but I pulled it apart without breaking anything(no glue holding it) So, be prepared to do more work than expected if you get it but if you are willing to do that then it can still be a bargin. On the firewall if I hadnt cut it back the carb linkage and needle valves would have been in the firewall and unassebale. If you have any other questions let me know. Jim
