Default RE: Best engine for Twist V2?

mazjag has a point, the colors on the new Twist suck. I do not mind that it is ugly, all my planes are ugly. I don't like the colors because I can't see it. Not being a great 3D pilot, I usually fly between 6 and 8 mistakes high so I don't need a broom to pick my plane up after I "land" it. Being able to see it in flat lighting conditions is important. Neon monocote shows up really well in all lighting conditions.
One thing I started doing many years ago was cutting 2" wide strips of neon orange and putting it on the leading edge of all my planes, this makes a huge difference for me when landing. I keep a roll of all the neon monokotes in my box, and add afew colors to every plane. I put different colors on the top and bottom so I can tell them apart easier. The plane is still ugly, but I can see it to fly it. When I clean my glasses before I fly Ido better also.
