    Twisted Hobbys Owner's Thread!!

    When learning to hover and rolling harriers, I set up a low rate with between half and 3/4 throw to slow down movements and prevent over correcting on this touchy plane. While I usually fly in high rates, the low rates switch will help stabilize while you learn.

    The Pop Top

    Pop tops are a great low risk/ high reward move that's always a crowd pleaser. The transition from pop top into other tricks really sets this move off! On my 51" I like to do a big downline into the upline, pop top into a ke spin on the way back down. Always turns heads even though it's very...

    mixing and differential on my twisted hobbys 32" edge with a dx8

    For the jst I just got parallel cables, but the boards are awesome too! I use the boards for my large packs since they are rated usually 30a on the deans. I think I got a 6x parallel jst and 6x balance cable for around $12 or so, a few people sell them! I charge 6 3s 450 packs in less than 20...

    mixing and differential on my twisted hobbys 32" edge with a dx8

    The crack series are awesome.. I never flew the edge, but on my yak I had to really dial down the rudder to get it to feel right. Start with medium throws then work up to the most you can while feeling in control! You'll have a blast! Make sure you have tons of batteries and a parallel charge...

    mixing and differential on my twisted hobbys 32" edge with a dx8

    Remember these planes are inexpensive, they are not made for precision.. Now on balsa planes, KE mixing is just as important as your trim. Ke mixing should be considered part of your trim.

    mixing and differential on my twisted hobbys 32" edge with a dx8

    Because of the epp material's tendency to flex with temp change and the frequency that added welders glue usually hits these planes, programming any mixes would be a waste of time IMO. They are awesome planes, and when balanced well, they should be just fine!

    Yeah, this makes it tough.. I'll be contemplating an 89 or 92 all winter, back and forth, back and forth... I'm glad the 92 was announced though, can probably cross the EF 88 edge off the list for now!
