Default GSP Katana 72"...DETAILED BUILD and 3D FLIGHT REPORT

I love the write up, great Job. I have been planning for sometime on making the GSP Katana my next plane. I have a couple of questions for you:

1. did you have to add nose weight, most posts on this plane recommends moving the elevator servos forward to prevent having to add nose weight with an OS 1.60?

2. have you considered CF wing tube? If so where could you fing one?

3. Can you give more details on the CF tail support?

4. How did you attach the wings I have heard a lot of negative comments on the factory way of getting to the weak springs?

5. Is it hard to remove the wings through the small opening? I was considering cutting out the canopy area and making a hatch/removable canopy?

6. Was your covering transparent as so many were?

7. Servos-servos-servos, I have been contemplating hard on my servo selection. Cost vs. weight vs. torque vs. speed. It is driving me crazy. I would love to go with hitec digitals and get the programmer and eliveate the need for a reversiny y harnace, but that is really costly. What torque would you recommend on each surface?


I know this is a lot of questions, but from your AWSOME write up it seems like you dont mind typing.....LOL


Thanks for the write up

Watch out for the light poles......LOL
