RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

Good Luck to all. I'm going out tomorrow with mine as well. Finally got the tail wheel back in place. Haven't had calm weather in a while now. I'm hoping tomorrow will be less than 10 mph winds...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

cobia,

I'm by no means an expert and at the expense of being wrong here I think there is more information that is needed. Is this engine set up with electronic ignition or is it CDI? If...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

As a matter of fact I do. I went with a carbon fiber rod and it's very tight on the left wing (looking at the rear of plane). I took some emery cloth with my drill and sanded the wing tube and I've...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

cstevec, good to hear from you, been a while. Yep I decided to go with Alum spacers instead of nylon. After two flights I checked the bolts and every one of them were beginning to loosen. So,...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

cobia, Weather is a little windy but will be flying in an hour or so. The Kat does float and it seems like I have to fly it down. Haven't flown it in a while but did get the motor spacers in last...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

xmarkman60, mine also was warped and had to tape the canopy down first and then glued the cover on the deck area. It works but wished it was better fitting.

I flew the plane last week with...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

scfadam, I am not running a stack on the G-62 and I have not had a problem with it. I don't have an RPM gauge so I'm not sure what the RPM's are but it pulls this plane like a rocket. In fact it...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

cobia, yes, the fire wall does have a built in angle to it. I did not have to cut but if you do I would do it with both sides lined up exactly together and make your cut. Don't cut the rear side...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

xmarkman60, sorry, built mine with the G-62 and can't help with a DA-50 question. I ended up making my wing bags. Went to Harbor freight and picked up two furniture type blankets and an hour or so...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

cobia, I think you just might if your using just one servo per wing and use Li-Ions or small NiMH batteries. You'll definately need to get a CF wing tube. I think the ZDZ will be about 18 ounces...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

cobia, Here are a few pics. Flew today and it was great. Still have a lot of flying to do to get it lined out. Found one engine bolt that came loose and after re-tightening it the plane flew...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

cobia, the CA is because it's a 31% and it weights around 19 1/2 lbs. the Kat is 17 3/4 with the G-62 on it dry. Right now I'm running Amsol at 80 to 1 ratio on regular gas. But only do this if...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

haneydmd, Thanks for the info. I have only flown the plane twice so far, poor weather conditions. I certainly will keep an eye out until I can get some new standoffs built. Just found out one of...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

SfADAM, Good to hear you are getting closer to getting it in the air. I've purchased a new NX 22 X 10 prop but have not put it on yet. Still waiting on weather to clear up some to fly. I hope to...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

Thanks SfADAM, I have the tank sitting on 1/2 inch foam and is right in front of the wing tube. No problems with vibration (fuel foaming etc.) but the G-62 isn't the smoothest engine out there. My...

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

RE: 29% Katana-S ARF---Aeroworks!!!

cstevec, I weighed the plane today before taking it out and it came in at 17 3/4 pounds with no additional weight added for ballance. I was able to move the batteries around to get the right CG.
