Full scale Katana's and models
Just wondering if there are any Katana kits out there that actually have a scale elevator? The full scale has a MUCH different setup than every model I've seen. Would it not function as well in a modeling world, or is it an oversight on the companies that build kits? Just curious

RE: Full scale Katana's and models
deckerv,
You will proboly find that the elevator would work fine for a scale type model but not as well for 3D. You will find most 3D aircraft have a much larger elevator, ailerons, and rudder than their full size counterpart. I have to say compared to everything else it is different. This might also explain why there are more Extras, Edges, Caps, and such in competition as there are Katanas. Just some thoughts.
