Steve Kientz:
Has anyone built a Twister without flaps?I'm thinking of leaving everything else stock(tail moments etc).I'm a novice flyer haven't even started to fly any pattern yet
Thanks
Steve
Paul Smith:
I built one with flaps and after a crash, rebuilt it without them.
Flys fine.
I think a plane this size can be as good - or better - with the flpas stationary.
You said you're a beginner - you can easily learn to fly the pattern with a no-flap Twister, and more up to a flapped "pro" stunter later.
The first pitcher is "stock" as built for the 1990 Sig.
The second is after it was crashed & rebuilt in 2006. Flaps were "fixed" and LE sheet and capstrips added.
James Lee:
The Twister without flaps will still be a very good choice. The upside is that you don't have the flap issues of alignment, etc to deal with... same approach Ted F took when he did the Doctor.... And, as the Twister gets some time, maybe during one of the rebuilds, flaps can be added...
Jim ;D
Steve Kientz:
Thosee were the answers I was hoping for.May have this finished in time for early spring.
Thanks and Happy Holidays
