Default Video maidening my Twist

I maidened my twist today. Got it on video for ya. I had two sucessfull flights. I went up with only 15 minutes of daylight left so i couldn't see too well, didn't do anything fancy.

This .77 two stroke mvvs engine i have sounds a lot different than my other 2 stroke (Evo .45 tps). A lot deeper sound, i like it, revs up real good, although its underproped with an apc 13*4. I did have a lot of vibration at different rpm's on the plane but not so when i had the engine clamped in a bench testing stand. I think its because my engine mount fingers are pressing against my cowling on each side (is that a no no?). Normally the engine mount just touches the firewall but this engine is a bit bigger and is spreading the mount open more and up against the sides.

Anyway heres the video link, let me know what you guys think. Some of my other videos on that page are funny.
