Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Hey propSpinner

Yes,,, as a matter of fact I was successful in the consistent knife edge this weekend It took a while to get it to happen though, as I kept rolling out of mine, but I finally was able to hold her until I started turning to come back to me, then it would roll out again,

I found to feel this plane out, I would start a slow right turn with my ailerons, and after completing the turn, I started adding in left rudder to keep her on its side, and let off the up elevator to stop the turn, this method works for me, as its a very smooth way to enter a knife edge and you can add very little of what ever is needed to correct the situation, and it is a very little needed.... I'm sure its easier to just snap roll into it, but for some reason I couldn't hold it until I got it happening the other way. Now I can snap roll into it and hold it.

I'm still learning this plane right now, the Twist is taking me for the rides, and I really don't mind.. Practice practice practice is what its really all about. Maybe we can get a video next weekend of the Twist knife edging. Happy flying , I hope this was able to help you in some way. Man, I'm already all shakin, waiting for this Saturday, [&:] its going to be a long week......[:-]
