Model Tech Twister gets put in because of flutter
This crash was due to flutter and the tail section actually getting ripped off at 3/4 throttle going straight. And heres a pic of my excelleron in a knife edge, much better flying plane too than the Twister.

RE: Model Tech Twister gets put in because of flutter
that's what my Twister looked like when I stalled it. Thought it should have recovered, but no luck. On my 1st flight with that plane, one of my elevators came out too. Managed to land it. That plane sure would roll fast, but I would never run it above 1/2 throttle with my magnum 46. RIP[&o]

join the club
at our feild there were three of us all buy this twister
1 st twister mine i was flying and then it looked like someone shot my plane it was flutter my whole right side elevator gone i got it down just . repaired it next flight the whole tail exploded by by twister .
2nd my mates first couple fights great then his trottle servo got stuck then bang the tail started to rip apart very fast then tail fell off
3rd another club member who laught at us and said you must off stuffed up when installing elevator and rudder but we had the best laugh maiden flight he got flutter and he lost both elevators by by twister .
my theroy is that the main wing is creating turbulance that the rear gets and creates flutter.
