Sounds like some good ideas. I want to put some bracing in my Twist as well. I have read that you want to brace the firewall to the fuse with blocks or triangles using CA or epoxy. Sounds like the landing gear is another area that needs help. Any other spots worth shoring up?
Test ran my OS 61 FX yeterday. Boy does that motor run smooth. I am used to an LA. But the FX is more responsive, and just sounds nicer. I was amazed at well it would idle at a very low RPM.

I never quite grasped the difference either, until I got a .25FX recently. After running it in a few days ago, I'm a complete convert. This engine will replace a .25FP, and the difference is amazing. It sounds way, way smoother and will idle so slowly that you can just start to see the blades - impressive on such a small engine.
Back to the Twist, I've run up against the problem of short control rods that so many of you have had. The rods in the tail were just long enough, but I'm not sure if I can use the supplied aileron rods, they are REALLY short. If I can't, it's really going to slow things down, because I only have one threaded rod on hand, so I really need to get to my LHS.[
