A Twist is what it is. It is not a pattern bird for sure, and it probably isn't the greatest 3-D flyer. But I think it may be a good everyday knockaround fun flyer, and I think it will hover ok (from what folks are saying). That's all I want! I think the .55 ax sounds like a good match pylonracr. By the way, how do you get the Twist or any other bird to do an inverted climbing flat spin!!!
