Did a bunch of work on the slightly used twist I picked up. This guy did a really nice job of putting the thing togethor. I moved the battery and receiver all the way back, and was able to take an ounce of lead off of the tail from the original owner. My CG is at 4 3/8 with out fuel. I figure if I want it any farther back, I will move the engine back 3/4 of an inch. I would hope the motor mount would be fine with 2 sets if holes 3/4" apart. If anyone has any experience to the contrary let me know!

The way the guy has it set up, my flaperon dial make the ailerons go up and down, with center being the correct neutral position. I suppose this way I have flaperons and spoilerons. I will have to put a mark on my transmitter to tell me where neutral is on the dial. What do you guys think, this flaperon/spoileron set up OK, or should I switch to just spoilerons? Any advise would help.


I am cycling the reciever battery now and it appears to have all of its compacity. My all up wieght is now down to 5lbs, 3 ounces. I hope to get it in the air soon. Been reading throught this thread starting at the beginning. There is a lot of good info.
