Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

A1,

The Twist will flat spin great if you have the CG far enough aft and if you have plenty of throw. My twist is the best spinning plane I own but there is another guy at our field who could not get his to spin. He asked me to put his Twist into a spin to see if it was his incorrect inputs or if it was the plane. Every time I tried to enter the spin, both inverted and right-side-up, it would just fly right out into a spiral. When we compared the CGs and throws, we found his CG was significantly more forward and he also did not have near the throw in the rudder mine had. As soon as we removed his brass prop nut and increased his rudder throw, the plane spins as well as mine.
