Just got this Diamond Katana from Aerosoft. Its a nice little GA plane. Its not overly quick, 140kts max, but flies real nice in my eyes. Nice for VFR flyin as it has a nice big canopy to view around. Comes with two models an 80hp one and a 100hp one. Many liveries 8off 80hp and 9off 100hp I think. Engine does sound a bit like a lawn mower from outside though Wink

This ones not mine but I forgot to take a piccy with the engine cover off.

Very cool plane, the person is kinda creepy Roll Eyes

but hey, the plane looks awsome. Is the sliding glass animated?

But some advice for ya, when you want to take pics, and don't want the outline on it, (The Blue Bar) just press the print screen button from inside the game, then minimize in and paste it. It'll look better. Or you can do it that way too... whatever feels better.

Bit of an odd looking plane but cockpit views look great! It sounds like a neat plane to just fly around in Grin

I thought the engine on those was from a lawn mower (isn't it a Jabiru engine or something?)

I was bein lazy when i took the pics, couldnt be bothered to crop em lol. Yes the little bit of glass on the left is animated. Gets a bit hot with two of you in there Wink

Forgot to mention the girly moves her head around and rubs her leg!! Maybe its just my flyin makin her nervous.

I havnt been in a Katana, but have been in a diamond Super Dimona. This has the same fuz but has much bigger wings as its a motor glider, dont remeber it sounding like a lawn mower though lol.
