I have owned a Twist for the past two years. It has hundreds hard 3D flights with absolutely no structural problems. I did not use the supplied CA hinges however, I used blue CA hinges made for giant scale planes. The blue hinges are much stronger and can take thousands upon thousands of bending cycles without breaking. Several of my other Hangar 9 planes with the stock CA hinges have broken from time to time. If you are not going to fly this plane hard, the stock hinges will work fine.
