RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Another one joined the ranks at our field today. The weekend weather is supposed to be bad so he may be flying next week. Four twists in the air at the same time.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

I hung a Kadet Senior in the top of a 100' tree. Guess I should have flown my Twist.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

The Twists were out today in Ohio. We finally got the skies off and had 3 Twists in the air at the same time. Most of the guys were a little rusty but man did they look good in the air.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

2" fire hose works best. Just spray it and forget it.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

I tried weight on the cheeks also but a couple snaps later""""""""""no more weight""""""" Moving the 46 forward is a good move.

Wet and spongy on the runway today. I flew the Twist first flight of the New Year and planted the landing gear in the runway. Sheared the nylon screws and pancaked it in with no damage. Got by...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

You could buy an extra motor mount when assembling the ARF. Drill for the mounting pattern on the fire wall and the 50 fx. Then just mount and swap when you get the new engine.

You could be the first one to install a G-62 on the front end but a Chevy 454 would only take a little more work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

I agree that a 46 FX is good for fun flying but lacks the power for great 3d. I have been flying with a46 for about 4 months while lusting after a bigger 4 stroke.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

I'm still trying to get the hang of 3D. I have a ball seeing how slow I can fly this plane then kick it in the but and roll across the entire field. Maybe I'll grow up someday.

I fly the Twist with a 46 FX. It does everything I am capable of. A friend at the club has his powered with the OS 70 Surpas. It has tons more power.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

First flight on mine was yesterday. OS 46 FX gave all the vertical I wanted. I was a little twitchy with the rates set high but I like it. Fun little plane.
