  2. hi all my friend has had 2 twisters and the first was his first aerobatic model and so being the most expierienced (daring) flyer i was asked to take her up for the first time, she had a sc40 2stroke installed with the stoke fuel tank and i must say that i dont think the tank is quite big enough, first flight was a launced flight (our field is not the best of fields to tackoff on) but away she went, hardly any trimming was needed and she was definatley quick, low level Rolls and flicks were a blur and inverted needed hardly any correction. but flight times were about 5-8 minutes depending on throttle usage. the second flight on to the fith were all roughly the same but with takeoffs instead of hand launch and the the problem became known, on the 6th flight after testing the trottles vertical, my friend placed the model down a knocked the switch to off and the twister hurtled accross the field and into a gate, TOTALED!!!! the second one he bought is still flying now after about 3 months with no problems and instead of putting the switch under the wing it is on the canopy which is a bit fiddly when setting up but is im my oppinion best, lastley and sorry for babbling i loved it so much i have gone out and bought one and i havnt HAD to put any glue anywhere although i do own a funtana x50 and from expierience i always strengthen the undercarrage plate. also i have upped the engine size to a 46 2stroke with a larger tank hope this is helpfull to everyone
