To be completely truthful, I have not felt the difference in the expos at all, After Listening to everyone on expo advice, I decided to give it a try (last year this was) I even sat the plane in eye view on my work bench And I couldn't tell what the expo was actually doing, so i tried flying with 75% expo on elevator and aileron, and I didn't really feel any difference at all, but I'm a weirdo anyway so who knows, anyway all expo is off for me, just the way I like it, I found myself trying to find out more what the expo did for me then to just fly the plane, now I don't have to worry about it any longer, Thumbs thumbs thumbs is where its at. it might be harder to get the touch without expo, (if in fact it does anything) "once you get the touch it will never leave you".. Maybe Aerostotle maybe not.

But I too came from the old school with a 3 channel Futaba box and an .049 motor the plane crawled and crashed, every week we would get just a little farther, then I finally received my first OS .10 and then an OS .20 and success had started, Mind you I was 8 at the time, I used to fly with my Ailerons hooked up backwards,,, left was right etc.. and only thought they were used to level the plane during landings, I flew this plane all over the place for months, when someone asked if they could fly it and he was an awesome pilot, so I said sure, he pile drived it in the ground just feet after takeoff. he felt terrible, I laughed,, especially after just watching me fly it and land it with no problems at all, then he told me after checking out the plane I had the Ailerons hooked up backwards, luckily he had the same plane already built but not monocoted yet, so he gave me his that night, and I was air born again the next day. so you see it doesn't matter what the hell the controls are doing, practice the touch, and you'll crash for some other reason sometime..

Glad to hear of the maiden wizzbang, I'm sure your going to be a Twistoholic for a long time now. Just think,, the hole you put in your wing was a good thing, now you don't have to worry about dinging up the new plane while your flying,, its already done, you are now a free man better that happen then to be ordering twist #2 after your first maiden, Yes I'm a the glass is half full kind of guy. Congrats and happy twistin ahead.

Tomorrow is Saturday winds are suppose to be in the 20's, but no rain,, so the Twist is air born Yee haa,,,,, I'm going to check out the rudder thing Ernie... Later Twisters
