Hangar 9’s Twist 40 ARF
An Unintimidating Fun Flyer for Sport 3D Performance
Here’s an exciting .40-size sport aerobatic plane certain to keep aerobatic pilots busy on the weekends. It’s lightweight, fun, inexpensive and—most importantly—unintimidating.
The Twist™ 40 ARF from Hangar 9® is the most fun one can have at the flying field without getting arrested. It’s extremely capable of sport 3D performance, and great fun to putter with on a bright Saturday afternoon. It’s 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 3D throw and counter-balanced rudder and elevators, provides plenty of aerobatic thrills without draining anyone’s patience or pocketbook.
For instance, the light wing loading and oversized control surfaces allow for incredible 3D maneuvers. From hovers to harriers, flat spins, the Twist can handle just about any aerobatic maneuver thrown at it. Using a Saito™ .72, the Twist can run through tight ten-foot loops and—unlike some fun-fly planes—full-throttle high-speed runs. It will even hover and torque-roll down to head high. On low rates with low power settings, the Twist also 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 for electric pilots, the Twist 40 ARF can easily be adapted to electric power, using a Hacker brushless motor and the enclosed installation instructions.
For spicy weekend flying and wild sport aerobatics, Hangar 9’s Twist 40 ARF is the answer.
