Adrenaline Rush: Hangar 9 Katana 50

Mar 28, 2012 4 Comments by

We just finished flight-testing the new Hangar 9 Katana 50, and it’s a rush! In this video, reviewer Aaron Strietzel tells us about this great looking plane and its breath-taking performance.  The looks of the Katana draw you in, and its flight characteristics will get your heart pumping! This 59-inch-span aerobat requires a .46 to .55 2-stroke or equivalent and a 4-channel radio.
