Hey Bruce are ya thinking maybe Ken's getting a little attached to that pink plane?
Shhhhhhhhhhhh, don't tell anybody!!!!!!!

Ken
Guess what color he is going to do his Decathalon in???

Brocja01,

Stuff everything up in the front. On the underside of the plane, under the fuel tank there is a nice round lightening whole that works well for getting the battery under the tank. You do have to trim away the covering to get to the hole and then replace it. It's either that or remove the tank. If I remember correctly I stuffed a JR1100MaH batt under the tank and still needed an ounce or two epoxied to the cheeks next to the engine. You can also get the Dubro heavy spinner nut but that takes away from the engines ability to spool up quickly and will bit you when you need that quickness.

The Twist is a great plane and flies well but it is really susceptable to being tail heavy. I started out at 4 inches on mine and eventually went to 4.5 inches and that little half inch made a HUGE difference in it being touchy on the elevator. The reason for this is that huge fat wing and a very short tail with large surfaces. BTW, the Tazmainian Devil makes a great pilot for this plane HINT HINT

I actually just flew one Sunday evening.

I guess I'll just go out and buy the Plug and Pray (also known as plug and play) version since I'm too lazy right now to assemble another one and really miss having one
