RE: modeltech twist
Well, so far... O.K.
This is my second Modeltech plane, and they still can't figure out how to line up blind nuts and wing hold down bolts(maybe I just get bad ones). I had to lengthen the holes toward the LE about 1/4" to get them to line up.
I was stuck on instruction number one until I figured out that the holes for the servo leads to exit are not where they say they are. I didn't want to hack up the covering trying to find it.
Then to attach the belly pan to the wing, they say to use silicone sealant. First time I've ever seen that. I'd rather use epoxy, but I used the silicone, and we'll see how it holds.
I am impressed with the wing joiner. I'm used to the little 6-8" ones. This one is 12" long
The rest of the build should go pretty smooth, and I hope to get it up this weekend.
It will have a K&B .48
I think your 82 would be great if it will fit in the cowl. I know a couple guys that have 82's in their Twist's.
