Glad to hear you got your Katana in the air, I was out flying mine all morning and going out again tomorrow. I agree the covering is sucks, I am really glad I recovered mine and you're right this plane doesn't look right without wheel pants. My stock wheel pants have been replaced with wheel pants off a Hangar 9 cap.

My Saito 180 spins an 18X6 prop at 8600 RPM. Hopefully my RCS 180 will top that when I get it back from RC Showcase.
