RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Lefty, I think that there are a few very good DVD's out on the subject.....I've been meaning to get one, but haven't yet. Up to this point, my visual has been watching other guys at the field do the...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Left Thumb, try programming your radio so that you can hit a switch and put both ailerons up. (I think it's called spoilerons) I have found that this really stables out the twist in a harrier!

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

I have a Sullivan Spinner......also 2 1/4" I think. You'll have to cut quite a bit of material from your spinner with that prop....or you could just use a Dubro Prop-nut. If you use the spinner,...

Bill, what ghee said is correct.....and you won't have any problem doing that with the Twist & the servos you mentioned.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Hey FYRWALKER, looks good! keep us posted on how you like that engine....the prices are great on them....I'm wondering if the new Chinese-made ones run as well as the Italian-made ones did.

Just be careful ghee.....we wouldn't want to see you lose your twist because of engine failure in flight [:@]

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Fyrwalker, the Magnum .70 would be great! I think I remember the Magnum .80 being an "older generation" Magnum model....without the improvements of the newer, reworked ones. (.70, .91, etc) I also...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

I think that many people are crashing their twist on landing due to "pancaking" the plane. You have to remember that the Twist has A LOT of drag......especially when we use big, 3-D friendly props. ...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

I actually find inverted ones easier to do! The only exception is my Ultra Stick.....it does them better upright.
Once you get the hang of the inverted flat spin, I think it seems easier to do!

I think electric conversion usually do come out a little heavier....so 5.5lbs seems reasonable if us glow guys are coming in around 5 lbs.
