Default RE: Multiplex Twister EDF

Just maidened the Twister ... in one word ... SLOW! On 3S or 3S with the stock motor its not more than 60 mph, probably about 55 mph only. I think it needs a hot motor and a 4S battery pack.

Having flown the Micro Jet, Fun Jet and the J Perkins Tiger Shark, I would say the Twister is very docile compared with the MJ and TS.

Flightwise she flies nice and it will make a great first EDF for any rc hobbyist as the plane is very stable. Rolls are very axial and I did not need any differential at all. Stick with the recommended CG and throws and she is a pleasure to fly for a relaxing afternoon at the flying field.

This plane is really easy to land as with any Multiplex plane. I still find that being a foamie its going to fly like one, feels soft in turns. Talking about turns, this plane needs some speed if you are making steep turns failing which she will drop a wing.

Guess its a great candidate for a nice paint job and let her be a show plane.

F86 - I used CA, tacked it in place (in case I need to access to it) then used silicon to seal it properly.
