Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Yeah, I ended up making some very small incisions in the coating close to the two small cracks in the rudder balsa frame. I gooped in a fair amount of CA (as opposed to Epoxy) inside the rudder which seemed to work very well. I decided to cover the incinsions with small patch pieces of covering although they were small enough that the CA could hold them closed and from growing or pulling open. It looks just fine and there was no damage to the colored twist stripe covering.

I didn't know the flood status of our airfield today so I opted to wait until tomorrow (Sunday) to head out there to fly the Twist again. So hopefully I can resist the "Twist Hand Launch" on the Twist's second flight session. I'm going to now program some dual rates with increased throws and see what this bird can really do.
