RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Part II - Thread Continuation
Hi everyone! I lost my Twist yesterday. It just stopped responding to all control inputs after a level pass and went in at almost full throttle. Completely obliterated! The cause is unknown at this time. The engine somehow escaped unharmed, and all the electronics seem fine.
What a great flying, fun, and reliable airplane. I lost count how many flights I had with it, but it had to be over 200. I picked it up from the LHS for $100 a few years ago....its so sad to see that same LHS wants $180 for another.
Enjoy the pics of the carnage. It went in behind a barbed wire fence surrounding a water tower. One of younger members managed to squeeze in to recover the pieces. I was impressed at how the broken mount/firewall completely punctured and demolished the tank!
Hopefully this sacrifice to the airplane gods will keep them appeased for a while![sm=biggrin.gif]
