Default RE: 3D 40 size plane/engine suggestions

3d'ing a 40 size means 4.5 to 5 lbs max AUW. Don't know the weight of the Twist but most ARF's don't make the cut. The Twist is a lot like the Somethin' Extra. Mine's a lot of fun, but it's no 3D machine. Knife edge loops are out and high alpha anything is almost unattainable. A Sledge or one of the OMP's will do it all. There's a Japenese company selling ARF's I believe, do a search for Komacrow. I built their Fun 15 from plans, full blown 3D on a 20FP. Might also want to look at the Taco/Burrito stuff or the Capiche 50.
