My twist desided it wanted to turn into a rocket today and sheded its wings while in flight. It didnt work out to well for her. Now for the rebuild. from the front of the canopy is a jigsaw puzzle and the center of the wing is in toothpicks right now. Sept for a few cracked ribs and some sheeting. I can get this flying again, but i need a few parts lol.
Any one have a few close up pics of a twist up front with out the covering? Or happen to have the a front of there crashed twist from the canopy forward thay can sell? Im going to turn this thing into a profile Twist(no way in hell i can fix the center of the wings. theres just nuthing there to fix) but redoing the front is going to be hard with out a refrence of a nude twist.

Buy a new one, they are only $99 complete; or, Wing is $71 and the Fuse $50; you can always rebuild, but it will never be the same not to mention it will gain some weight; I have a Twist, and I have a lot of fun with it, when I wreck mine beyond an easy fix, I am going to buy another one or buy the Wing or Fuse, which ever the case may be, my 2 cents worth.

Would buy a new one, but no LHS has them in stock and there out of production right now. I liked flying this thing so instead of waiting, might as well attempt to rebuild while i wait for horizon to start making more

That sucks - I liked mine as well - I just recently threw my mose portion of the plane away - it was complete back to the former the front of the wing mounted into - I would have sent it to you.
When my plane went in it destroyed the center section of the fuse, and turned half of the wing into toothpicks.
