Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Mathew. The Web site at Horizon Hobby will show that the Twist is not currently in stock. I emailed them and about a week ago they answered me that they should be available in late January 2006. I have owned several of them, and love them. If you do not crash them they will last forever, but as I expanded my envelope of experience I have crashed them. And when I do they tend to break in the middle just behind where the pilot would sit. They can be fixed. Often times the wing survives the crash very well. The tail always survives. So now I keep a roll of the yellow and purple covering in my shop. Perhaps a stonger plane would survive more crashes, but it would be heavier, and would not fly as well. The Twist is an excellent plane. At the start keep the throws very low. I started at 70% of the recommended low throws. If they ever come out with a Twist 60 or 90 or 120 I will buy 10 of them!
