RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Part II - Thread Continuation

Maiden Flight,

I finally got to maiden my second Twist 150. With the Saito 150 and a 17x6 APC prop I could hover at less than 1/4 throttle. I love this plane. It is my favorite now other than my...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Part II - Thread Continuation

eltbone,

Why are just a few ounces so important? Is your plane underpowered and you need to reduce weight to fly it the way you want? I haven't heard of anyone trying to reduce the weight of...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Part II - Thread Continuation

dutch,

Congrats on the maiden. I personally don't like the muffler setup on the Super Tigre engines. I had a .75 in my Twist 60 and the same thing happened to me. Now I have a Twist 150 with a...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Part II - Thread Continuation

nitrobeast,

I bent mine back so it was straight on my 60 size without thinking of heating it first and then had Horizon send me out a new one. I flew it until it crashed because when I got the...

Sachin,

Sorry about the crash. But maybe somethings just aren't meant to be. If you do build another one, I hope you have complete success.

Tyler,

I agree with Tim. I used Futaba S3004's in my 60 and it was fine so it will definitely be OK for the 40.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Part II - Thread Continuation

Balsa backbone???

The Twist 150 is all plywood on the fuselage. Did they make everything on the 40 balsa? That just doesn't make good sense if I am getting what your saying right. I am going to...

Prop shifting,

Has anyone had a problem with Tru Turn spinners on a Saito 150 with a 18x6 APC prop? I have ruined two spinners and props because they keep shifting. I am afraid to tighten the...

One question, Why? Now you gave Hanger 9 the idea and without a patent to protect yourself they will just steal your idea. Hurry and get a patent and you might be the next Howard...

Very nice repair job. Excellant, looks like new. Well I went and did it. I tried to fly to late in the evening and lost the sight of a small tree hidden in the shadows. Well you know the...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Part II - Thread Continuation

humanvr4,

I think the Saito .91 would be fine in the 60 size. It is at the low end of the four stroke engine recommendations but with the proper prop it should be plenty of power. Unless you...

Why is it after you crash and get a new plane ready to fly all it can seem to do is rain? I want to Maiden my 150 and can't because for some reason we are having a...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Part II - Thread Continuation

Thank you,

Now I at least know what the problem is with why the 150 isn't very popular. I got it because my eye sight isn't what it once was and when I crashed my 60 I didn't know it was...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Part II - Thread Continuation

Don't get it,

Does everybody own the 40 and 60 size Twist and the 150 is left on the shelves. I started a thread this morning and I still haven't gotten any replies.[:o] I just was hoping to...

You are most likely right. I don't think I will have the problem he did. We have 3 other members with the 150 and they fly the pants off of them. He also said that the LE and TE of...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Part II - Thread Continuation

Everybody,

I called Horizon and spoke with one of their Tech's. He said that nobody there has heard a complaint on the stab as of yet. How long have these 150's been out? When I crashed my Twist...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Part II - Thread Continuation

Tim,

The Twist 150 calls for anything from 99 oz. per in. to 155 oz per in. So I figured 122 would work just fine and like you I don't push my planes to the limit either. Plus I am new to 3D and...
