Improvements update:
I dropped a new power system in the Twister. A 12 blade Change Sun fan with a Cyclone Power CR480-2900-40DF. Suppose to provide 1.65kg of thrust. I also increased the Thrust tube exit to 60 mm from the original 55mm (Cutting a coffee cup to size). Static thrust check showed 1200grams of thrust which is almost 1 to 1 power to wt. ratio. . Took it to the field and launched it holding it in my left arm pushing the throttle to max rpm pulling on the stick for up elevator (right hand) before LAUNCH with my left arm. Boy, that was something. The Twister left my arm and started an Alfa flight then just lifted itself steady to a beautiful climb. What an improvement from everything I experienced so far. Top speed was awesome and I ended up doing 5 beautiful flights with the most exciting launch take off I ever had.
for now, I am going to leave the Twister as is and just enjoy it. Increasing the intake can wait. I want to have fun now.
Thanks
