Default Katana's

Does anyone know if Katana's are considered legal in IMAC ? My point being they are not scale models of a full scale aircraft.

Perhaps you are thinking of the "Funtana"? The Katana is a real plane and is Imac legal.

I never noticed the unconventional elevators on the Katana before. Look weird huh? Kinda like "anti-airbalancers"

I believe that the elevator is so short is because the plane is so short couped it takes less elevator for maximum throw.

MARK---YOU TAUGHT ME SOMETHING. I REALLY THOUGHT THE KATANA WAS MADE UP TO PRETEND TO BE A FULL SCALE AEROBAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY---DAN

Good point. Could be. I did find another full scale Katana and it had a full width elevator with the airbalancers. Maybe one has more throw and the the other requires less strength....??
