Best 3d plane

Posted by Heine Johansen on Jun 1st 2020

This is the best 3D plane I have ever built/flown. You have amazing control and the4 control surfaces allow for eXtreme movement, allowing crazy tight manuevering.

Hi what can you say about Twisted Hobby!

Posted by Charlie Fields on Apr 13th 2020

I have always been a fan:but now you have va models.I have been flying large balsa planes for the past year 95 in extra and 74 in slick.The club decided to build a new runway:so I decided to build a few new foamys. Twisted hobbys I have never ben disappointed.I fly my p3 or infinity everyone wants to know where they can find one.now that the airfields are closed I decided to build a couple on front yard flyers. Twisted Hobby purchased a crack yak 32 in and a mxs24 in. I have both finished but the winds are crazy at the moment. No worries I have never bought a Twisted Hobby airplane that wouldn't fly in the wind.but I only have a 3rd acres lot.I probably have owned About 15 Twisted Hobby airplanes over the years.If you want the best foamys anywhere go where I go. nothing you will ever find that will out perform any Twisted Hobby airplane,I belong to two airplanes clubs They gave me a nickname 3d Charlie The airplanes I fly Twisted hobby make me look better than I am thanks 3d Charlie.

32" Crack Yak-55Gold

Posted by Don Dakin on Oct 19th 2019

I bought this plane as a Birthday gift for my son, so it hasn't even been built yet. However I purchased this one because several months ago I purchased your Crack Turbo Beaver at Joe Nall Week in South Carolina this year. It's my first 3D foamy and I'm thoroughly enjoying how to do many new maneuvers with it. My Son said the next plane he got, he'd like to have one like it so that's why I bought the Yak! I'll let you know when he gets it built.

My first 3D plane

Posted by Shawn Quinn on Jul 2nd 2019

This is a great plane to start 3D with. I reccomend doing the 2s power setup. The plane is slow and responsive. It's great for learning 3D!

The Crack Yak is the most precise-flying foamy I have ever flown! It can do any maneuver you can imagine, and it does them superbly well. Hats off to Twisted for this little bundle of fun!
