spils . The Katana is a great aircraft as far as I'm concerned (I'm a PPL student) with the only criticism that I've heard being that it is a little underpowered although I understand that there is a newer 100hp engine available which should sort out the speed freaks!
I have to say that it's the only aircraft that I've flown so I may be biased but I know that SKYACHT has flown quite a few different aircraft and he rates it. It seems pretty benign to me, an example being the stall when you can pull the stick back as far as you want and all it will do is bob the nose up and down.
I suppose what I'm saying is that it's one of the easier aircraft to fly and being composite it's light with modern avionics and given that the Katanas at Redhill operate off grass all year round they must be fairly robust.
I think that you'll enjoy it if you have a go.
