Good flights. I like how you're pushing your piloting further and further. As well as pushing the models to do all they can.

[keithwolff]

Awesome flight as beautiful as the plane itself keep up the awesome flying

[PrecisionAerobaticss]

Awesome video review! We are happy to see that you are enjoying the Katana 52 its one of our favorite airplanes too :)

[michelpetrus]

Thanks for the demo. Till now I have only seen footage of pros flying this one, it’s nice to have a review from a very good 3D pilot instead.
Pros can make anything look good or easy, sunday pilots can make any plane look horrible. But with a good pilot we know what to expect. thks. :)

10:05 I agree with you Jon 100%.

Fantastic job on the flight Jon👍👍😎😎

Can’t wait to see you with a addiction XL, this would probably be my next purchase

[ModelAVRChannel]

Yep, now you know what I've been talking about. It's a different world with a purpose designed and built balsa 3D plane. No foamy can match them. Nice flying man, and welcome to the club! It was enjoyable watching you enjoy it! Curious what your gyro gains/priority is?

[Coops]

Thanks for a really interesting video. I own the base model Extra 260 and find it is hard to fly in wind. I also need a flatter prop (slower) as it flies very fast and almost impossible to hover.

[millerrc]

Great video a full fuse foamy just can’t compare to these woody’s. They may be more expensive but the flight experience is totally worth it.

[BashTillBroken]

Priced right and looks good what is more to ask…

Just got my first balsa (hanger 9 p51) after flying it just sounds good hard to go back

[robinrydning]

Very nice😁😁👍👍.. always😉... Do you know if is much different to fly compare to the older PA Katana MX 57"?

[redfishtom]

A lil more throttle management those waterfalls inverted and upright will get crisp and not so fast. The snaps will get better also. I would also use their servos and esc motor to max your experience .

[RCDude]

Jon, did you have to glue on or screw in screws for the horizontal/vertical stabilizers for the katana? I’m thinking about getting one of them for myself.

[nirlachman]

It looks great and crazy! Jon what happened to the SMC batteries? 😊

[davidfalgout]

I just bought and maiden'ed that plane. It is challenging to do all the stunts the pros do. It does fly most excellent as do all of the PA aircraft. I would love to see a video done of the Addiction X and XL.... it would be most interesting to hear your thoughts!

[jonathanrubin]

I have the yellow and blue Katana . I did the same thing as you did . I cut the servo hole in the covering for the elevator in the wrong place .

[jeffworsham]

Now that you’re very familiar with this model characteristics, it would be great to get the carbon vortex generators and sfg’s, then retest and compare harriers etc with and without.

[encompassrc]

I flew someone else's once and to me it felt like flying a more rigid version of a foam 3D plane since it is so light. I personally tend to like the slightly heavier 3D birds in this size but this is an excellent floaty type low and slow 3D plane that can also do some XA. For price, I can't quite agree the price is "great", seems be quite average as far as price is concerned for something this size that is a high quality built up type plane.

[waynemiller]

4:35 Sorry, I know this is a little off topic. But I've been trying to knife edge spin on RF Evo and I'm breaking the fin or stab on almost any model tried.
Is this a problem with real models? I hesitate to try it with my new e-flite extra 300 for fear of damage.

[bodhescheerer]

What was your thought process/decision matrix that lead you to the Katana? I’ve been debating between the Katana, Addiction/addiction X, and XR 52.
