Eric, I have found Twist drivers are just a tad wiser, more clever than the run of the mill "speeder." So don't speed up the Twist, just stand on the line with those fellows. They HAVE to come back to the field--and paybacks are a witch, hm?

Nah, don't do that. The Twist is a Lady, graceful and talented. Speed is nothing compared to her. So treat her like the Lady she is and let the speeders go green with envy.

By the way, I have seen two idiots over power birds, then fly them too fast. I had a .61 OS on a Can Do .46 and flew it for a long while like that, slow, until one day I was waaaay across the field, down wind, and decided to bring her back fast, WOT. The starboard elevator (on its own servo) shook violently, and before I could throttle back, the tail all but came off. Fortunately, the ailerons overpowered the weird new plane and I brought her home. Rick has an Extreme 540 with an OS .61 on it. His son speeds and so had gone through THREE sets of servo gears, two on the elevator, one on the rudder.

I have to say, Waldo, Down did a fine job on the Impress. I saw it... more than a year ago, bereft, unfriended in his shop. And she flew so sweetly in winds gusting to 25 mph. I don't recall a high wing plane that could do as good an axial roll. The Magic can, for sure, but none other I know of.

He says he's gonna fix ALL his bereft and unfriended birds, a bunch. Then he'll make some flying mistakes as I did, going between birds, betcha. Don't tell him he's gonna need a new radio to cope with all those birds. On the other hand, maybe that's the reason for all the fixing: he can then justify a new radio. Ha.
