Default RE: 3D Foamy KatanaS

looks good. I built one and flew it for about a month and just trash canned it recently. It is a nice looking foamy but it will need WAY bigger elevators and a bigger rudder. I added an inch on the back of the elevators and an inch on the end tips and it still wasnt quite as effective as my jeff williams e extra or e sledge. I also added 1" on to the back end of the rudder. After that it 3d'd pretty well IMO/
In these designs it doesnt take much at all to break the fuselage at the back just forward of the stab, mine must have been broken there 3 times and glued back together before I added a short length of CF tube along the back to help this out. flirting with the ground and wingtip hits will do them in pretty quick. Next time try a jeff williams design E yak or E sledge. they are WAY better just my opinion
