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.
