RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Ya, its nice but expensive, 75$ per year plus AMA dues. No charge to fly at the grass field and no people there. NNeedles to say, I use the grass field and spend the money on toys.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Say, can you imagine 10 Twists in the air at one time? WOW And if you took your eyes off your Twist for a second, I think you would be pretty much *#@%ed. You would lock onto someone elses Twist and...

Thanks

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Ghee, watch out for that "running the plane around without the wing attached". I did that one time and with a little throttle, the thing went straight up and came down in a heap :( And I didn't...
