Features:
Katana is
an
aerobatic plane
for
outdoor flying. The design concept is originated from our Venus, i.e.:
light weight, structural simplicity, easy to build etc... We make its wingspan
at
1000mm and with approx.
600g flying weight, all
of
these are the basic requirements
of
this plane
for
outdoor flying. The technic
of
embedded carbon tubes inside fuselage and wing notonly makes the plane decent and
in
smooth surface,
but also ensure the intensity
of
the Plane. Most
of
the parts are pre-assembled
in
our
factory.
1.The main landing
gear
uses 2.5mm steel wire as support, it's not easy to be damaged
in
case
of
hard
landing.
2.Same as
our
Venus, the ESC and receiver are put into the equipment cabin. Considering
that
the battery
will be replaced often, we put the battery
in
the position between the wing and fuselage, so it's convenient
for
replacing battery.
3.The structural design
of
the wing and fuselage is similar to Venus EPO, to lighten the weight
on
the basis
of
ensuring its intensity.
4.ln
order
to fly under windy weather, we use carbon strips and carbon rods to reinforce entire plane's
intensity and a carbon fiber hub is applied to combine those carbons, so you
don't
need to worry about
Katana's intensity
in
case
of
violent flight.
5.Two colors are available
for
beUer choice.

hope thatyou are completely satisfied with the contents
of
your
kit. However, we would askyou to checkall the
parts before you startconstruction, referring to the Parts List, as we cannot exchange components which you
have alreadymodified.
If
you find anypart is notacceptable for any reason, we will readily correct
or
exchange
it once we have examined the faulty component.
Just
send the offending partto
our
Model Department. Please
be sure to include the enclosed complaintform,
duly
completed. We are constantlyworking on improving our
models, and forthis reason we must reserve the right to change the kit contents in terms
of
shape or dimensions
of
parts, technology, materials and fittings, withoutprior notification. Please understand
that
we cannot
entertain claims against us
if
the kit contents do notagree

illustrations.
Caution!
Radio-controlled models, and especially model aircraft, are by no means playthings
in
the usual sense
of
the
term. Building and operating them safely requires a certain level
of
technical competence and manual skill,
togetherwith discipline and a responsible attitude
at
the flying field. Errors and carelessness in building and
flying the model can result
in
serious personal injuryand damage to property. Since we, as manufacturers,
have no control overthe construction, maintenance and operation
of
our
products, we are obliged to take this
opportunity to point out these hazards and to emphasise
your
personal responsibility.
Do
not
fly
under
the
conditions
below
Wind strong enough to make the trees rustle.
Astreet
with manytrees
or
street lamps.
Close to high voltage electrical wires.
High Population densityareas.
Cautions
for
flying
Front lawns and parks make excellent flying areas. Make sure you have permission to fly and follow safety
guidelines setby local authorities. The calmerthe wind, the better!
Note
for
Storage
Please disconnectthe lipo packs when finished flying.
Do not press
or
crush the airplane when storing.
The bestwayto store is to hang the airplane to keep the control surface rigid.

Recommended
Flying
Setup
Max servo travel
of
aileron: 30 degrees up and
30degrees down(60mm)
Max servo travel
of
elevator:45 degrees up and 45
degrees down(105mm)
Max servo travel
of
rudder: 40 degrees left and 40
degrees right (150mm)
Setting the correct control surface travels is important
if
you wish the model to respond to the control
commands
in
a balanced manner.
The travels should always be measured
at
the widest
part
of
the control surface.
The control surface throws are notcritical, and
if
you
are unable to set the exactstated travels using your
transmitter's adjustment facilities, that's no problem.
If
the discrepancyis relativelygreat, you will need to
re-connectthe linkage using a differenthole at the
horn or servo outputarm.
If
you intend to
fly
the model as a trainer, we
recommend thatyou reduce the control surface
travels to about 50 -60%
of
the stated values.

Setting
the
Centre
of
Gravity
Like any other aircraft, the katana
3d
must be
balanced
at
a particular pointin orderto achieve
stable flying characteristics.Assemble
your
model
readyto fly, and install the flight battery.
The Centre
of
Gravity (CG) should be at a position
of
100
-1
15
mm
awayfrom leading edge, please referto
above picture.
Support the model atthis position
on
two fingertips,
and
it
should balance level.
If
not, you can move the
flight batteryforward or aft to correctthe balance
point. Once the correct position is found, markthe
location
of
the flight pack inside the model to ensure
that it is always replaced in the same position.
Preparations
for
the
first
flight
Please
wait
for a daywith as little breeze as possible
for
the model's initial test-flight. The evening hours
are often ideal for calm conditions.
Be sure to carry out a range check before the first
flight, using the procedure described in your
RC
system instructions.
If
you encounter a problem,
please
don't
risk a flight.
The
firstflight
...
If
you are a beginnerto model flying we strongly
recommend
thatyou ask an experienced model pilot
to
help you
for
the firstfew flights.
Hand-launching
Please
don't
try unpowered test-glides with this
model -the result is invariably a damaged airframe.
The KATANA should be hand-launched with the
motor running at half-throttle, and always pointing
directly into wind.
Ask
an experienced modeller to hand-launch
your
aircraft
for
you.
The launcher should run forward
for
two or three
paces, then give the machine a powerful straight
launch, with the wings and fuselage level. Use the
controls to hold the model in a steady, gentle climb -
rememberto keep the rate
of
ascent shallow and the
airspeed high!
Allow the aeroplane to climb to a safe height, then
adjust the trims
on
the transmitter until it flies in a
perfectly straight line "hands off". While the model is
still at a safe altitude, throttle back and try out the
controls on the glide. Carry
out
a "dry run" landing
approach at a safe height so that you are prepared
forthe real landing when the battery runs flat.
Don't try any tight turns
at
first, and especially not
on the landing approach at low altitude. It is always
betterto land safely at some distance from you, than
to force the model back to your feet and risk a heavy
landing.

Safety
Safety is the First Commandment when flying any
model aircraft.
Third party insurance should be considered a basic
essential.
If
you join a model club suitable cover will
usually be available through the organisation. It is
your personal responsibility to ensure that your
insurance is adequate. Make
it
your
job
to keep your
models and
your
radio control system
in
perfect
order
at
all times. Check the correct charging
procedure
for
the batteries you are using. Make use
of
all sensible safety systems and precautions
which are advised
for
your
system. An excellent
source
of
practical accessories is the SUPER-E
main catalogue, as our products are designed and
manufactured exclusively by practising modellers
for
otherpractising modellers.
Always
fly
with a responsible attitude. You may
think
that flying low over other people's heads is
proof
of
your piloting skill; others know better. The real
expert does not need to prove
himself
in
such childish ways. Let other pilots know
thatthis is whatyou think too.
Always fly in such a way that you do not endanger
yourself
or
others. Bear
in
mind
that
even the best
RC system in the world is subject to outside
interference.
No
matter
how
many
years
of
accident-free flying you have under
your
belt, you
have no idea whatwill happen
in
the next minute.
The SUPER-E team -hope you have many hours
of
pleasure building and flying your new model.
