Ok so it's not a real Katana 40, it's on FSone. I've got winds set at gusting upto 12mph.

Well the Apprentice in the other room will be my 1st 4ch plane, I have yet to fly it since it needs repairs due to the previous owner.

Nothing really major. Body behind the firewall is cracked, prop was bent, cowl broke, aileron servo stripped, horizontal tail dented, verticle tail dented and the nose gear is bent. All of this was due to a reverse switch on the transmitter for the ailerons. The guy didn't have a chance. I got it for $115 ;D with 1 flight/crash.

Hmmm that is am interesting video. :D

You will however enjoy the Apprentice once you get the chance to fly it. I raked up 3 1/2 hours more air time this afternoon. Nice day. The Apprentice got many compliments today at the field, the guys really liked it's stance in the sky and it's good natured attitude yet inspiring performance. Except the battery door/landing gear thingy nearly fell OT today. I used some bands counter-pulling on those band hold-down rods criss crossing the compartment to hold it in. The plastic broke right by the landing gear area, I have it Gorilla Gluing right now.

Flew the Super Cub too, wow I tell you that Park 450 BL Outrunner spinning a 10X7 with a 2200mAH TENERGY she really GOES! I'll try to get some video, does NOT fly like a Super Cub. I do not have ailerons on it but due to the power, speed and wing shape she'll roll once you get her going. Can also go vertical quite a LONG ways before slowing and takeoffs are only as long as you want them to be, I can get airborne facing the wind on grass in under a foot. Kind of leaps in the air. Fun setup, although I do not see the wing holding up with this combo very long, being too hard on it. ;D
