The new KatanaS 30E ARF was designed by Italy aerobatic pilot,
Sebastiano Silvestri and the design is based on of his successful
and famous KatanaS Tournament Of Champion airplane.
This professional ARF kit is the results of a long Sebastiano's
research in 3D performance combined with an extremely
lightweight structure. The all wood airframe and the big control
surfaces give the KatanaS 30E an impressive thrust-to-weight
ratio and crisp control authority at any airspeed and flight
conditions....that for this small class of airplane is revolutionary!
The KatanaS 30E can do it all...unbelivable easy harriers, torque
rolls, blenders, waterfall and almost anything else you can dream
up are waiting you!
