Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

This plane is very flyable on MAX throws. I no longer own one, went to the bigger F90, but I really wrung mine out when I had it. I gave it all the throws it could do with CA hinges and at times, at least to me, it wasn't enough. I saw a guy at our field use the very small robart hinge point, screw a Saito 100 on the nose and I swear he had 80+ degrees of throw on the elevators and 50+ on the ailerons and the rudder would all but hit the elevators at full throw.

Dang thing was amazing to see fly [X(]. I remember is first flight. He go a hold of some really tall CF gear and had a 16x6 prop on it. Started it up, had it idling reall nice and low, untied it from the ground stake, looked away to grab his radio and the thing started to move away, yes slowly, thankfully it was heading right out onto the runway and no one but him and I were there. Funniest thing I had seen up to that point.

I will admit it was a blast of a plane. I do kinda miss it but I like my F90 just as much
