RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D
Received my Twist on 13 April from the LHS. Saw it at Toledo and could not pass it up. Very impressive ARF. Appears to be well built and covered. Smoked canopy with painted edges looks sharp. Fuselage formers are notched to fit fuse sides. Appears to be laser cut. Online pictures don't show the underside - all smoke purple, no stripes, stars, etc. I accurately weighed all parts to assemble the plane and the all-up weight was 3 lbs 1 oz. Add your engine and radio and 1 oz of glue to find your approximate total. I have a NIB Jett .76L Sport which appears to fit nicely inside the cheeks. Obviously that is way too much engine for level flight, but it will love to climb! Only changes I can forsee making to basic plane is to paint the inside of fuselage cheeks(they are sealed but not covered), polish the landing gear, and use a different tailwheel. I do not care to hard mount the tailwheel to the rudder as suggested in the instructions. I suspect Horizon has another winner. I already have the Funtana .90 and YS110 on order. That should be another Horizon winner.
