The Twist is one of my favorite fun planes .On low rates it handles pretty well but can bite you in a heart beat, I also have the Typhoon, and fly it very little, really dont care much for the way it flies compared to the bigger , heaveir planes.
Keep the prop pitch down on the Twist . I fly mine with a Saito .72 and a 14x4 wide apc prop and start off with the CG set at the nose heavy mark till you get use to it. /Make sure you program some expo in your radio too.
Be prepared when you go to high rates, the Twist will roll so fast the it becomes a blur. A hard landing and I meen not really that hard will break them right behind the wing .
I'll second moondoggie on the Twist. Its a go where you point it plane which is happier at a slower speed than flying fast. To me its just a big park flyer.
It'll slow way down for approach and is rock solid, but it'll bite if you're not careful. I've worn the covering off the bottom of the tail on my Twist 60 (TT .61 Pro powered) landing tail first - I have more fun dragging it in just above stall speed. With high rates it's more fun than a barrel of monkeys! I'm not sure if the Twist 40 has this issue, but as the Twist 60 burns fuel down it requries about 5 or 6 clicks of trim to compensate for the CG change. I usually fly the tank out and dead stick it in.
