 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

rolls, blenders, waterfall and almost anything else you can dream 
up are waiting you!

 

 

.....the only aerobatic limit is your fantasy!
