Default RE: need engine for H9 TWIST

One thing you may want to consider doing is embed a piece of 1/8" music wire along the bottom of your rudder. The Twist is easy to land on the rudder before the tail wheel contacts the ground. Mine is almost to the point where I'll need to not only recover the bottom portion of the rudder but replace the bottom strip of wood and add that 1/8" piece of wire at the same time.

You'll find the Twist with low control throws is a kitten, but when you kick the throws up you'll find its more fun than the proverbial barrel of monkeys. It will do some of the nicest high alpha approaches at a crawl and is very solid flyer. Its a very stable plane on the low end of its speed range.
