Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Matt, re: putting the servo horn on the wrong side: welcome to my world.

I've seen some nice canopies which show figures and instruments. Empty, the cockpit is for sheisse. Rick covered his with some thin carpenting, chalked in some dials (not readable) and put a long haired blonde under the canopy. But I've gone the other way. The new Twist will have the 6 v bat under the canopy, and I PAINT my canopies on the inside, so you can't see the hole, through which I used to mount the bat, or now, with the bat siliconed onto the canopy floor--as far aft as I can get it--to help counter-balance the OS .61.

Silicone is the way to go. And if you put a figure of some sort under an unpainted canopy, just spread some silicone under it. NONE of my figurines, including a Dalmation, with four feet less than 1/4 inch diameter (on a UCD .60), has ever come off in a crash. Silicone is amazing stuff. My preferred glue. (Right up there with CA and baking soda.)
