    Twisted Hobbys / RC Factory's Brand New 36" EPP FLASH NG, "Official Build Thread"

    One last thing - secure your battery with tape or Velcro. I learned the hard way that the friction fit in the thru hole isn't enough

    TY BTW - I have recently found a fairly reliable way to enter KE spins with Laser - works for me 2 of 3 times. throttle off down line add enough rudder to bring the nose almost, but not quite to the horizontal, bring up throttle, and adjust ailerons as needed to keep it from falling out...

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    hopper There is no justice Of course, when they have a new plane, guess who they ask to check it, fly it to trim and balance, and assist them by taking the xmitter to save them when they get the jitters ;-)

    I am finding this to be, what in my line of work, would be called "best practice" - for a build thread. I know it is a ton of work to actually get the build thread done - and I am looking forward to it as much as the next guy. Beyond that, I would encourage you to collect your thoughts...
