Specs for the 28% katana.
Hello new to the world of large planes. My GF just bought me a used Aero-works 28% Katana for Christmas.
The gentleman before me recovered it and I need to know the specs for the plane before I start ordering parts.
I searched and found not much on it.
I need the control horns for all surfaces.
Tail wheel assembly.
Maybe some wheel pants.
Amount of travel on all surfaces.
Max size of motor. I was told 57-60cc?
And any other information I will need to know to fly this beautiful bird safely.
Thanks Guys.

RE: Specs for the 28% katana.
HeavyDD,
Check Out This Video Clip. 28% Katana with DL-50. Contact Valley View RC for Best Buys on Engine http://www.valleyviewrc.com/ Tom Denney will make You great Deals on What He sells. For Servos Etc I'd go TroyBuilt Models. I'm Rich Grow a Sponsored Pilot in Washington State. I'd Look at Power HD 9150 all way around and MPI Aluminuim Servo Arms, Titanium Turnbuckle Drive links and talk John Dunlap or any of Top Flight Sales People. They Will be getting DL Engines in near Future. I think by 1st February but check John Dunlap or Gene Payson for expected arrival dates. Tom Denney has them in stock now. I buy as much as I can from Troybuilt to Build My Giant Scale 40cc to 53cc Gas Birds. I have 5 gas birds and we just finished 29% Edge 540T with DL-50 Engine. I like Troybuilt 22 X 8 Wood Props the BEST !!!! After get about 5 gallons thru engine You go 23 X 8. Need engine fully Broke In before go up inch in diameter. My Flying Buddy bought Me this Katana for Xmas Gift. http://www.chiefaircraft.com/rcmsec/...AKatanaV2.html It's going be here in about week. Here's 540T we are just finishing. http://www.chiefaircraft.com/rcmsec/...AEdge540T.html John can advise You on all Right parts and the 248in/oz servos are $49 US. Ship UPS Ground and No Sales Tax. The 333in/oz Hitech 7955 are $89 compared to $119 at most Other Hobby Internet outfits. I've bought 3 Magic Hand 73" YAK-54. Best Engine I've found for 73" Wing Span Magic Hand is a Special CRRC Pro 40cc Tom Denney's Tech "Jody" Builds for $269 Complete!!! Been test ran and Carb adjusted. It's Chiness knock off of the BME 50cc. Even come with Motor Mount on engine, muffler, ignition etc. Jody Club President of Our Flying Club. To small for 28% Aerowork Katana so watch clip and DL-50 has More Power than DA-50. If need More help my direct E-mail [email protected] and phone 360-456-3423. I have Aeroworks YAK, 2 Carl Goldberg 67" YAK's, and 3 Troybuilt Magic Hand YAK's. Don & I have built over 20 New Planes in Last 2 Years. Talk Troybuilt If want Your Bird built right and not fail in air. They'll also save You 20 to 30% of most other places on servos and Giant Plane control parts.

RE: Specs for the 28% katana.
Wow Thanks Rich I like the way that DL 50 pulls the bird around. I was worried that the 50 wouldnt perform well but I now see it does. I dont have any lithuim batterys or chargers yet I run 4.8 Nicads in all my stuff so far. So if I can keep it with the Nicads for now I will.
