Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Part II - Thread Continuation

Hey all, I just finished putting the gear in my .40 size twist this morning and took it to the flying field this afternoon! I must say WHAT A BLASTTTTTT had a little problem tuning the .46 motor for the first flight so the maiden ended as a dead stick.... It glides better than I ever expected too! It didnt want to come down at all!! For the over all aerobatics of the plane...... well lets just say im surprised I havent snapped the wing in pieces yet... haha It kicked around really good and i was on low rates as well I really couldnt believe it!

Total today including the maiden flight.... I have 6 flights on it and im taking it out again tomorrow after noon if the weather is good!

I was useing a master airscrew 3 blade prop to start and it worked alright then one of my flying buddys said i should try a 11-6.... i had an 11-5 2 blade with me and so i put that on there and WOW what an improvement! I went straight to the 4 1/2 inch for the balance point, and love it!

Happy flying!
Jon
