The Twist was my second plane when I started flying around three years ago. I have owned many planes since then including some that would be considered fairly advanced, but I still like to fly the Twist at least once a month. It was a great transition from a trainer because it was very easy to fly and land on low rates in the beginning. Once you have some aerobatics under your belt, it is an extremely capable airplane on high rates and can do about every trick in the book.
