Well now that Ryan can do most of the advance pattern it is time for dad to play catch up. I have decided to take the next step and if I have to rekit my TwistStang then so be it.
My good friend Zuriel told me to cut some holes in the tale of my Twister in order to help lighten it. And if I needed to add tail weight I could use the holes and just put monokote back over the holes. I checked the CG on the pig of a Twister and it was about a ¼ inch in front of the spar. The last time I flew the plane it turned like a slug. I also had it running way to fast cause it seemed like it wanted to pull my arm off. My buddy Louis told me to slow it down. So I figured both these guys might know a thing or two.
I added an ounce to the back of the plane. (I know that brought the weight up, could have done the same thing by adding a tongue muffler and not added any weight).

Anyway long story short…. I could not stand it today. It is almost a perfect flying day. Over cast skys, cool, and very light winds. (almost calm at times, not good) So on my lunch hour today I put up the Twister to see if it is going to be worthy to teach me a few more stunts. I setup my stooge and started the LA .46 with an 11x5 APC. Tach’ed it at 9600 and launched. I was surprised at how well it turned. I put up three flights. The plane responded very well and turned very quick. I went from hating the way it flew to liking the way it fly’s now. Now I just need to learn how to do a clover leaf, vertical eights, square eights, hour glass, outside squares and reverse wing over. Not in this order.
