Default RE: modeltech twister

well today was the last day for my Twister. Should have stayed home. Took her up and made a pretty abrupt turn when heading back towards the filed using rudder/aileron ( I always coordinate rudder with turns), but seems like I used too much rudder. plane stalled, tip dropped and down she went.[:@] I was actually surprised it wouldn't recover, as I was about 50ft high and nose down. Pulled back on the stick a little thinking it would come out, but no dice. Straight in. I wish I had my camera. Took the gear out and engine and tossed the heap into the can.
Don't know if I want another or not. I bought the plane mainly to learn 3D with and I was just getting to feel more confident with it. It does fly a lot like some of my pattern planes, but maybe I'll replace it with a true 3d. Was checking out the MT Magic.
oh well....R.I.P.[&o]
