The Twist 3D 40 ARF from Hangar 9® is the most fun you can have at the
flying field without getting arrested. An exciting .40-size plane
capable of both sport and extreme 3D performance and an excellent,
unintimidating fun flyer to putter with on the weekends, the Twist is
constructed from sturdy, lightweight balsa and plywood, and looks
super-cool with its bold yellow UltraCote® trim scheme with contrasting
accents. Best of all, the Twist, with its deep bevels for extreme 3D
throw and counter-balanced rudder and elevators, provides plenty of
aerobatic thrills.
For instance, the light wing loading and oversized control surfaces
allow for incredible 3D maneuvers. From hovers to harriers, knife-edge
loops to climbing flat spins, the Twist can handle just about any
aerobatic maneuver thrown its direction. Using a Saito™ .72, the Twist
can run tight ten-foot loops and—unlike some fun-fly
planes—full-throttle high-speed runs. It’ll hover and torque-roll down
to head high. On low rates with low power settings, the Twist
demonstrates stable slow-speed characteristics and very gentle stalls.
For convenient storage and transport to the flying field, the wing
removes quickly and easily. The tail-mounted servos offer short and
stiff linkages. And the Twist can easily be adapted to electric power,
using a Hacker brushless motor and the enclosed installation
instructions.
"The Twist is a great blend of Sunday sport model and 3D
performer. It's a simple rip-around aerobat that's great for almost
any sport modeler wanting to do some loops and rolls, yet crank up
the throws and it's a very capable 3D model as well. My hope is that
it'll let more modelers try their hand at 3D."
