Those are some awesome looking paint jobs. I used the Rustoleum on the fuse and tailfeathers, and Ultrakoted the flaps and wing. I primered the wood and sanded almost back to the wood before painting, but there is still some balsa grain showing. But I just wanted to get the Twister finished and in the air as quick as I could. I hope to put a lot of miles on it this spring. I guess I built it as my trainer, if you can call it that. Thanks for all your input, it's been a big help, mostly in the fine tuning. If weather is good, I'm going to try to fly this weekend. I do check the other forum out regularly and keep up with the posts there. Rootbeard "Fancherized" his Twister, I think, and I have been keeping up with his posts.
Oh yeah, what about CG for the Twister? All I have read say move it forward from what the plans call for. I am right in the ball park on it and only have to change mufflers to move it around. With the big factory muffler, (85 grams), CG is forward. With my tongue muffler I made, (20 grams), CG is about where the plans call for, about on the wing spar. And I guess set my leadouts a little forward of the wing spar to start off with. What do you think? Better noseheavy than tailheavy, right? I know it will fly, I may just have to play around with things for a while.
