With over 18 months invested in design and using a revolutionary building technique called FiberFusion™ the Katana MD from Precision Aerobatics has broken the mold and moved once again the level of perfection a notch higher.

FiberFusion: is a method of combining carbon fiber, balsa and ply in a way never seen before. Utilizing the strengths of the fibers within each raw material. The end result is a lighter, stronger, more rigid aircraft that fly like nothing else.

The Katana MD (for medium) is built using the finest grade materials, all cut by state-of-the-art laser and CNC machines. The wings are removable using a carbon wing tube and carbon sleeve which make the Katana MD a compact, durable, and easily transportable model.

The aileron design and construction in this model is exceptional is made in such a way that the hinge gap is completely sealed. This is quite complex to produce as the ailerons fit "into" the wing trailing edge tunnels and are glued and aligned in the factory. The production of the ailerons in this way, allows perfect aerodynamic flow over the airfoil and results in maximum efficiency of the control surfaces.

The new MD is a free-style machine designed for intermediates and professional pilots. If you want to practice your IMAC sequence the Katana MD will shine - its flight characteristics are very similar to a giant scale. And if you want to practice your 3D maneuvers - simply slide the battery aft on the carbon fiber battery tray to the recommended CG and put a big smile on your face.

So how does it fly? Solid elevators, push full down elevator in inverted flight and you can take a nap. Stunning knife edges and due to its super-light weight and exceptionally low wing loading this plane is a serious floater. Harriers and elevators with a few clicks of throttle are hands off.

Features:

The new MD redefines the word quality. The construction, the hardware and the level of finish detail is second to none. The wings are matched individually to each fuselage just like is done on giant scale and the model is 99% built for you in the factory.
Wings and ailerons are pre hinged and sealed
Carbon anti rotation pins are pre glued
The pre cut fiberglass cowling is reinforced with carbon fiber. Its aerodynamic design allows air to flow in and cool the motor, battery and ESC for maximum efficiency. Two air scoops are also included in the kit to direct the motor box air flow under the hood.
The tinted canopy/hatch is one unit assembled at the factory for you and attached to the model with very strong magnets making easy change of batteries at the field.
Carbon landing gear is pre drilled and blind nuts are pre-installed in the fuselage.
The motor box is assembled at the factory with the correct thrust line already built in
The composite firewall is pre-drilled ready for outrunner installation
Wheel pants are pre cut and optional carbon wheel pants are available
3 available metallic color scheme with carbon fiber trim
Top quality hardware kit included, including CF double servo arms and Kevlar pull pull system
Free deflection gauge and wing bolts spanner are included with each kit
The brief assembly is a joy and most modelers will have it set up in one evening.
