Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

I put the first flight on mine yesterday and had so much fun I had to go back today. I was able to get my Saito .56 mounted with a 12x4 prop and it flies fine. It hovers great even with the small engine. It just doesn't pull out with as much authority as a .72 would but I like this combination so well I'm not changing it. I had a good bit of trouble with the throttle linkage as some of you have mentioned but after mounting the engine, I found that the carb will close even though the horn is just about touching the firewall. I used a z-bend on the carb horn instead of a clevis to get the clearance I needed. I also had to change the nylon bolt for the wing as it wouldn't tighten up enough for my liking. As for the landing gear, I don't see anything wrong with it. This plane lands so slow and easy I don't think you will have any problems.
