    Avoid placing the canopy on the entering edge. Operation and Controllability The KATANA glider is set up so that the canopy's reactions are adequate to the pilot's interference with the operation. After bringing the glider in the curve by gradual pulling of the break, the canopy reacts in a way depending upon the extent of breaks pulling and that is not only in radius but subsiding in a curve also.
