RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

The Saito 80 I now have in my Twist I had in my Pizzaz. It was very nose heavy and i had weight on the tail for balance, but flew it quite well. Plenty of power for sure. I stalled it in on a dead stick landing and put it in. Did some pretty good damage.
the wing broke clean from the fuse so I made the wing a bolt on, but it isn't so you can transport it without the wing. I also cut the fuse for the bottom of the wing and attached it to the fuse bottom cover, so it is one big hatch. I move the landing gear forward off the wing to the edge of the fuse before this new hatch. The old landing gear screws on the bottom cover now hold that big hatch on the fuse.
I moved the charging switch above the wing. So by making it a bolt on I can take the wing out and get to it. I also went to two servos on the elevator and moved the elevator servos to the tail like the Twist. Also changed the rudder to a pull-pull setup. Cut the wing sheeting in front of the servo tray and mounted the throttle servo in that space. The only servo in the tray is for the rudder. This now gives me enough room in the fuel tank compartment for a 13oz tank the receiver and battery. The Saito 80 in the nose it should balance out just fine. Which means I will have to put my new YS63 in the Twist. problems, problems, problems.... but not a bad problem to have.
