I maidened the Twist today, and after some trim adjustments she's flying like a dream. What a difference over the LT-40! Its like going from an 76 AMC Pacer to a Ferrari. It goes where its pointed, and is incredibly responsive. I reduced the throws and dialed in some expo to calm it down and she's still fiesty. My first two flights resulted in dead sticks, my first ever since I started flying. The first was a bad plug (the engine I installed was used, and I should have changed the plug to begin with) and the second was that my idle was a little to low, and it quit coming out of a flat spin. After those two moments of excitement, the next three flights were un-eventful, but incredibly fun! On landing it really slows down well. At my field the "carrier approach" is popular due to a row of trees at the end of the runway. I had to really fight to get the LT-40 down, but I can dive the twist at the runway, cut the throttle, pull back and it slows right down, and lands perfectly every time. What a great plane! I'm sure there are others even better and more fun, and I'm sure one day I'll have a go at some of those as well!
