Title: My New Twister
Post by: Phil Coopy on March 06, 2007, 09:34:07 PM

My old Twister was getting to look pretty ratty so I built a new Fancherized version for KOI.  KOI will be my first C/L competition since 1967.  I'm gonna fly it tomorrow and if it flies too different than my old one I may switch back for the competition.

Phil :P

Your idea of ratty is sure different than mine.  You should see my Akromaster.

Looks great Phil.
Bring both of them to KOI, always good to have a backup, especially when they look as good as yours.

Flew my new twister today...WOW..what a difference an extra three inches makes on the fuse.  It didn't come in as light as I would have wished for (45oz) but with an LA40 with stock muffler I guess that ain't too bad.  It seems to have smoothed out most of my bobbles.  I'm still only going to enter Beginner Precision till I get the whole sequence down pat.  Should be fun...at least a lotta laffs.. LL~

Have been enjoying my Fancherized Twister a great deal.  Setup with 46LA it is a great flying plane- I just regret I didn't know to use 1/2 ribs and that I didn't shape the LE to be more blunt.
