These are some shots of the Diamond DA-20 Katana. I happily found it to be very similar to the Urbanair Lambada, the plane in which I learn to fly in real life

... very similar both in handling characteristics and in looks. Enjoy.

Here is the comparison of the Diamond Katana and the Urbanair Lambada, which I fly. Look how similar... when I went for my first flight in the Lambada I saw it fly overhead and thought it was a Katana... Roll Eyes

Speed is about the same, hardly any differrence. Indeed, the Lambada glides with the best of them. About 30% of all the time in the air with my instructor we rely solely on rising air to keep it afloat.. Grin

So, how about those no flap landings over 50 ft. obsticles in the Katana in real life? Takes a bit to get 'er down eh? Just doesn't want to land, doesn't want to slow down. Nuttin'!
