Twist Updates...

 I've been working on my old birds, trying to get them in shape to return to the air. This old 2006 Twist has been tough. It has a ton of air time, and still has the original engine it came with (albeit kinda weary). Before I retired it, I noticed the elevator servo would get stuck from time to time, so that needs to be addressed. I picked up a new batch of servos, a new flight battery, and got busy. She's now updated with new electronics, and ready to go flying! Here's a few pics...

Hangar 9 Twist Battery Check Out!

I can't believe, that after 2 years in storage, the Tenergy 5 cell 2000 mAH NiMH battery in my Twist actually checks out to be good. It looks like the 'Red Neck' battery maintenance system described in my previous post actually worked. Over 2 years of hitting the battery with approximately 25 mAH of charge per day while in storage, and it cycles as if it were new. 

 It's nice to get lucky every now and again :-) Now, it's time to move on to the next airplane and see how it checks out.
