DA20-100 Katana 4X

The DA20-100 Katana is proof of the old saying, "What looks good, flies good"! This cutting-edge GA aircraft made out of fibre-reinforced composites was originally designed to be a training aircraft, but is now flown by many private pilots who enjoy the wonderful flight dynamics and its economical running costs.

This aircraft has been designed exclusively for FSX and has one of the most impressive lists of features of any GA aircraft. It really makes you feel like you own the aircraft, with maintenance requirements, cleaning and even decisions about which oil type to use. If any product lives up to the Microsoft slogan, “As real as it gets”, it has got to be the Katana!
