Katana GS tail wheel
I was reading around and heard that the tail wheel on the katana gs is crap. Have you guys over at OMP updated this yet or will I need to invest in a sullivan tail wheel.

Actually as per Accel Hobby we are not allowed to touch the contents of the box.
If you don't like it just use the cheapest, lightest tailwheel you can find. I just used a tail skid on mine. You don't need a tail wheel, the rudder is very effective without it.

RE: Katana GS tail wheel
Actually I have never had a problem with the tail wheel. The stock ones were too long in my opinion and therefore pretty flimsy. The easy fix is simply to snip off a couple inches of the spring steal at the top and remount to the fuselage. Works great.
