RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D
decay,
My charger charges my lipo's exactly full every time. My speed controls warn me when the batteries reach the lowest safe level by slowly shutting down power. When this happens, I get set up to land. I get 10-12 minutes 3D, and 15 minutes sport flying. You do notice a decline in power towards the end of a charge, but mine is so grossly overpowered, it doesn't matter.
thebluemax,
My electric Twist is a .60, and my two glows are .40 so it is hard to make a direct comparison. I would say the .60 Twist does not have quite as much power as my .40 sized OS .61fx Twist, but way more power than the .40 sized with a .46 evolution model. It is plenty. I could prop it for even more power, but then I would drain the batteries faster. This same setup would pull a .40 sized Twist around with more power than the .61. It is a very powerful set up. It would be overkill on the .40, and a bit heavy. It is perfect for the .60.
Main performance advanages are instantanious response with no spool up time, and precise rpm variation. In a hover one click of throttle will give you about 150 rpm. This is nice for maintaining altitude in a hover. You have precise control of rpm's, great for 3D. That is about it. Other than that, it flies the same.
