Hi guys: I just have to say that for the guys that were grumpy about this plane, they did not follow directions or expected some Mach 5 jet. I built mine stock with a 3200 LiPo and 50 amp Castle Creations ESC and it flies great. Lands a little fast but I like it a lot.
Just another independent first-hand opinion- but the stock Twister kit is underpowered. My last Twister flight ended with a famous "Sabre Dance" through a barbed-wire fence. Launches are unstable and scary until you can (hopefully) develop enough airspeed to regain control. I'd recommend at least 25% - 50% more power, which would make this an
excellent plane. I know it'll never fly like a Stryker F27C, but it does need enough power to get into and stay in the air.
Does anybody have any personal experience with incrementally better EDF/motor combos for this plane?
Yes the Stock Twister is underpowered.
I went with the HET 2W motor and a HET 6904 Fan . ( To stay with 3S ) Now I am getting 425 Watts
Lots of info here
