Title: My First Twister!
Post by: ray copeland on May 22, 2009, 12:28:16 PM

First Twister build, definitely not my last! 6 flights so far and can't think of any changes i need to make. My first also with flaps and seems to help me smooth out my turns. FP 35 for power with APC 10x4 gets really sweet runs. #^

Ray --

What kind of finish this time? If it is Monokote and Rusto, looks like you found another perfect match!

Nice to see the adult pushrod. Is that your first one, or have you been doing those for a while? As an aside, I prefer the T-bottom nylon horns as they seem to naturally stand up straight, although your L-bottom looks right on. Mine usually leaned, so I switched to the Tee style.

Bring it out next meeting! I always enjoy seeing what you have next. This one looks like a winner, appearance and "the right stuff" in the air.

Nice job, Ray.  The Twister will give you years of enjoyment.  Mine is several lbs heavier with all the repairs it's suffered through while teaching manuevors to others, but is still a good flyer!  It's 13 years old!
Blessings,
Will
