Dave, that's a beautiful looking Twister. I don't see it in your photos but you may want to add a fairlead (some have even just used a cotter pin) to prevent the pushrod from the flap to the elevator from bending when its pushing. But that is a very good looking Twister. Did you MonoKote the fuselage as well? My Buster project got shelved once again. The GF and I moved 1700 miles from Carol Stream Illinois to Queen Creek Arizona. So I had to pack all my models, built, half built, kit or ARF. I'm pretty sure it made it, I should unpack the wing and see how it did. Moving is the worst thing for a modeler. Imagine deciding which planes go and which planes get junked or given away. Also the work shop has to be disassembled. But I really like your MonoKote hinges and when I can get back to it I will certainly use your suggestion. Keep those lines tight. Tom.
