Status: offline 		Anybody seen the new Twist 150. Wow?!?!? When will it stop.

Horizon has the specs wrong I think. Looks like the 60 size to me. But the pictures look accurate. They say it's due in mid January.

Removeable stabs
Wheel pants
180 size Saito.

This could be a real fun plane.

Here's the link.

Thanks

Status: offline 		i am comparing it to the UCD 60, closer size. i think the UCD is way more sleek and original than the... twist... blah. i never liked that design. why could horizon be happy with having the funtana and showtime. the twist sucks.

Status: offline 		The Twists are really nice because you don'y have to worry about dealing with an inverted engine or a cowl. I do like the looks of the 60 UCD and will proabably get one at some point.

Yep, that's why I bought my Twist 40. Very quick to build. However, I wouldn't buy another one, despite liking the plane. The Twist 40 is a nice fun fly aircraft, but only so-so for 3D. Knife edge isn't very good, lots of coupling.

I loved my UCD 60, I wish I hadn't sold it. The guy who bought mine loves it, says if he crashes it he will buy another.

I would say the same thing, NOT a great 3-D plane, I had mine for almost 2 yrs.. Tons of coupling in KE. It was a fun plane but I have graduated to profiles.. The Mojo flies circles around the Twist..

Status: offline 		I am not crazy about the colors of the new twist. I had the UCD 60 & 160 and I do not think either one of them even come close flying as well as the twist 60. I have a twist 60 now with a satio 125 and HS-645 servos. I think it is a great 3-D plane. I put mine in to inverted flat spins and water falls all the time. I could never get my UCD to do this stuff. After flying the twist I kissed the other two good by.
