Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

I killed my first Twist in the wind. My engine quit at about 300 feet and out about mile. Like a fool, instead of landing out in the field, I tried to make it back to the runway. When I banked too much on the turn from base to final, a nice box kite presented itself to the 30 mph quartering headwind. Quick as a flash, my sparkly new Twist was thrown sideways into a tree, then the pieces to earth.
