sounds awsome, like you really did your research and figured it all out. I plan for my next plane (next summer) to be a Creek Katana. You have researched well and built the plane very similiar to how I was planning to build mine. I have a couple of questions?
1. did your cowell match the covering, if not how did you make it match?
2. Could you tell me more or send pictures of your rudder setup, Why did you use CF rods and bellcrank, why not just standard pull-pull cables?
3. Rocket city horns with swivel ends? Dumb question, but could you tell me more about swivel ends?
4. I am currently saving for the Katana, I will not purchase anything untill I have enough funds to get it all and do it all right. If you don't mind me asking what was your total investment? ( e-mail
[email protected] if you don't want the answer public)
5. Does the turbo jett give you a significant power boost?
6. how far back is your 20 OZ tank? Could you locate it under the CG with a pump?
Thanks in advance.
Great Job on your plane! :thumbup:
