I still have my first Twist and haven't had any problems yet. It flew all summer without any mishaps and I've a history of trashing planes. I also have been careful to keep it high and use caution on landings. In fact it lands better than a trainer. I just have seen so many pictures on the internet of Twists broken in half. That doesn't mean you will have problems Matthew. You're probably a better pilot than I am. Most people are. Also, I don't hover or harrier I just stick to traditional aerobatics.
