Got my GSP Katana in via UPS Friday. Looks good in the box. I have an OS 1.60 for mine too.

Unfortunately, it will have to stay in the box for a few weeks while I finish my current project.

I did notice that the plane comes with a warning sheet that basically says to reinforce the firewall and not to use the CA hinges that come with it.

I am waiting for a flight report.

I had to add a little weight to the nose but removed most of it when I switched to alum. landing gear.The instructions were absolutly horrible.Good thing I knew what I was doing.The quality really isn't bad.Me being me,I made some changes to a few things because I didn't like the way they were done.It's a little heavier than I would like,but it flies great for me.Really performs most 3D excellent.When the motor breaks in it should really come alive.

Hi, Is the wing on the GSP Katana S-72 a one or two piece wing.
I just ordered one and forgot to ask . I plan to put a Saito 180 on it, any suggestions or building tips.
Thanks..

i'm sure you will be happy with this combo.
the os 160 is also good choice but the moki is perfect, with a pitts muffler it fit so nice in the cowl.
