This is what I'm getting for my Birthday in a couple of weeks:
http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/159525.asp
71" Katana, weighing in at 11.8 lbs (or so they say).
I have experience with Phoenix Models, Seagull Models gets good reviews, and these 3 manufacturers are all incredibly similar (all made in Vietnam), covered with same stuff, etc. so I should be fine with the quality of the plane.


Will an OS 160 2 stroke be enough for this plane? I haven't been interested in 3D stuff until pretty recently - I'd like to have the ability to do 3D but really am concentrating on precision aerobatics. I guess what I'm trying to say is it would be nice to have extra power to pull myself out of emergencies.

Other options are a Moki 1.80 2-stroke, Saito 1.80 4-stroke, and a 50CC gas engine which I know nothing about.

Thanks!
