RE: modeltech twister
We're ALL crazy!?!
I bought mine so that I could use it to start into sportsman pattern flying.
With the 1 and 1/2 flights I had on my first Twister, it tracked erally well, and slips through the air pretty well. I wasn't sure if my K&B .48 was going to be enough for it due to wing surface area, but it pulled it around with authority, and once my new motor mount and flying wires kit arrives I'll be able take the new one out and do some more testing. I kind of got it to hover, but I'm still learning that one. Although it was much easier with the twister than with other planes.
I ended up replacing all the hardware on the second plane. I think that's the only way you will avoid some type of failure in the air. The hardware package for the twister is seriouly lacking, but that seems to be the planes only major flaw.
And like goplaneman said I'm adding the flying wires kit.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
