KMP 2M Katana?
anyone own one of these or seen one? how was the quality? I know KMP has had some issues in the past, just checking to see if this design is pretty solid. Thanks!

RE: KMP 2M Katana?
Hi Guys,
Just recieved my Katana this evening from my LHS. It looks good so far I will post some pics and weights tomorrow. Quality is very good covering is Ultracote and it seems light enough. The wing size is the same as the EMHW Funtana pro. The fuse is a little larger though. I,ve got a YS 160 that I picked up for it as well so it should go pretty good. The stated wing loading at 5kg is 17oz sq ft which is incredibly low so it should 3D very well with a good power plant.
thx Dave

Hi Guys, The KMP Katana is now up on their site. It sure looks good! I would like one, but not until I hear more from those of you who have built and flown one. Thanks, Looper

RE: KMP 2M Katana?
HI Guys:
I'm glad to see the interest in this plane is growing. When we designed the plane we stretched the fuse by about 2 inches more then scale. The extra length makes it handle superbly. I am using an OS 1.60 in mine and it will hover at about half throttle plus a click or two. I'm using standard Hitec Ballbearing servos and a Hi Torq (pull-pull) system for the rudder. Even though my company specializes in WWII planes I still love to hang a plane by its prop once in while. The Katana 2M will always be ready to go in my hanger... guaranteed. If anybody is ever travelling up thorugh these neck of the woods drop by I will take you flying and you can give mine a try.
Cheers[8D],
