well here is another stupid question. i have an accell hobbies katana gs 40. i installed an o.s. 61sf on it.


is there such a thing as to much control throw on a 3d plane? i have the controls as hot as they will go and this thing is a bear to fly

i have never set up a 3d plane before so if anyone has any ideas please let me know................................thanks

what do you mean "bear"...

I have the Katana with the OS .61 as well...and I love it... throws? LOTS!,,,but use a bit of expo too! otherwise it will turn into a blur when it rolls!

you can set up low rates too... I did so I can play with IMAC patterns... Yep, I fly my IMAC pattern with my Katana then reward myself with amazing 3d!

Knive edge spins, ascending flat spins, HAKE, etc. etc.

it is VERY quick... so if that is what you mean by "a bear".... then hmmmm....

explain what you mean by a bear?

If it's too much throw for you then either reduce them or add some expo. I have the max throw on everything except my ailerons on my Katana. I found that the max I could get was just more then I needed, but everyone is different. Just adjust it to how you are comfortable flying it.

throw..... as much as you can get until the linkage starts to bend, that's when it flies best.

add like 60 percent expo if you plan on flying straight past 1/4 throttle, or it's too squirrely.

well to much aleron is what i think makes it almost to responsive.... thats what i mean by a bear to fly

my radio does not have expo but does have dual rates...... i take off and land with the dual rates on

i can flat spin it well but any thing else i try doesnt work. i thought about turning the rate down on the alerons until it got a little bit more comfortable to fly....the rudder and elevator are as hot as they will go

expo would realllllly help with this plane.... otherwise you just need very soft fingers

How many mm do you set the ailerons on low rates? The manual recommends 58 on high.

well dudee i use full trow in all surfaces mmmm in the expos i use elevator 60 , elevator 75 and in the rudder i use 35 expo hope that helps you thats the setting i uses in the videos

My Katana is the only plane I have that I don't use Low rates......

just set up the throws as far as you can, add some expo, a scosh of nitro, a dash of cajones, and a smile and go fly.....
the plane is a h00t!
