Default RE: Twist or tribute

I have owned both and in my opinion the Tribute is the much better choice as far as flight performance. It is lighter, will be far more powerful without spending too much on an engine, and doesn't have any bad flight tendencies. The one I flew today has a magnum 52 four stroke on it which is just about right for it. The twist will hover and do some 3D but the tribute is actually good at 3d. It harriers upright without wing-rock unlike the twist. Knife edge flight with the tribute is also much much better on the tribute. No mixing required for great knife edge flight. The twist will need major elevator and aileron correction. The only drawback on the tribute is it is weak right behind the canopy area but it is easy to re-enforce.

Biuld the Tribute as in the thread and do my rudder pull pull setup and you wont be disapointed. The Twist will be left in the dust compared to the Tribute.
