Hey everybody,
I have a Hanger 9 Twist 3D coming to me and I am looking for any advice I can get to get it set up for 3D flying. I have been flying planes for quite a while but just recently have gotten the itch to get crazy with 3D.
When will people ever learn.... send it back and get a modern day profile if you want a "3D" monster cause you sure won't find it in a Twist or, just keep it and pretend that you are truly pushing the 3D envelop like most other Twist owners
I wanted to follow up on your comment. At first I was a little upset. I did get the Twist and set it up the best I could for flying 3D, and I thought I was doing pretty good. I could hover it and do some harriers, it did have alot of wing rock and was not very stable in a hover, but I could do it and I thought that was normal . Even though I thought I was doing pretty good I wanted to see if the Mojo would do any better. I built a Mojo 40 size last week and flew it for the first time today. The components I took out of the twist and put into the Mojo so I knew that would be a fair comparison, I set up the radio ( expo ) the same as the Twist was set at. The Mojo ballanced out pretty good as built so I didnt change anything. On the first test flight I would have never thought I would feel so comfortable with this plane. Everything I was used to doing with the Twist was SOO much easier now, and NO wing rock!!! Second flight out I was hovering with no problem, harriers were super easy. Third flight out hovers right down to 12" of the deck. AWSOME!
So I wanted to tell you that I did learn! But thinking back on it all I am happy I started with the Twist, because I do believe it helped my flying skills to fight with the Twist, and I would have never appreciated how good the Mojo is!!
Looks like I have a Yellow dust collector!!
I do appreciate your advice. Thanks.
