I was at the field today between 14:00 & 15:00 all on my own , good flying too. There is a dead sheep along the fence line towards the gate from the pits, I saw the farmer so reported this to her. I hope no one had plans for a BBQ .

My first propper 3D plane -Katana
After vissilble progress in my 3D flying - decided to go for something more serious. - Why not ?? - my blade dancer is still in one piece - just not very good when is windy.
Decided to have a go at our Katana (o gosh ...what a suprise ... )
The problem with all Kits is space...
So had to make big life decission and .... I moved laptop from my coffe table on chair next to it.
So here it is - my working bench
I prepared all professional equipment I could find.
OLFA knife
Sand paper and sanding block
Steel ruler
Few pins (don't tell my wife )
Glue (thin)
Plastic bag from Tesco, and after 2 late nights ~ 6 hours - here it is
another 4 ish hours, and everything is nearly finnished
Not bad for a first build
Now - still didn't decide what color scheme I do want to use...
Nothing to fancy and complicated - after all - I'm at the very beggining of 3d flying - so it's not if I crash it - it's when ..
Thinking about something in dark colors, any ideas ? I've spent some time looking at google images of Kat's most of'em is white/blue/red - what about black ?
Have you seen anything like it ?
c'mon - guys
I'm gonna do shopping next week - so there is few days left
Cheers

Re: My first propper 3D plane -Katana
Managed to find some time and dod some covering.
Never worked with film before - well last time I did any covering was 20 ish years ago on some gliders- with some paper - so it's not perfect - but much bettter than I was affraid it will be
Just must remember to avoid black color next time ...
Still can't decide of color for cowl...
but hope to finnish it before Skelm
