Description
Created in collaboration with Twisted Hobbys team pilot Chris Jewett, the 32-inch Extra Slick is designed for pilots seeking an extreme indoor or backyard 3D aircraft. Its redesigned airframe reduces coupling while providing increased rudder, elevator, and aileron authority. Lightweight EPP construction, pre-hinged control surfaces, and an advanced carbon-fiber truss system deliver controlled slow-speed handling with the rigidity and quick response needed for hovering, harriers, rolling maneuvers, and aggressive aerobatics.

After more flying, I really like this plane. It is very predictable in the air, and handles light winds with ease. It hovers nicely. Knife edge flight is great, even without SFG's. I put 1.25" diameter ultra lightweight wheels on mine, and am glad I did. They are still too small for taking off and landing on grass, but I can taxi much better on grass with them. And it handles much better on pavement with the larger wheels.

Nice little plane
This is my 2nd Twisted Hobbys plane. I found it to be an easy build, with a good instruction manual. Kit and fabrication quality was excellent. Everything went together well. Outstanding flying plane. I really like it. I have come to realize that I don't like side force generators on planes, so I left them off of this plane, and am glad I did. Unless you only fly 3D in zero wind (which is not my case), then SFG's are more of a hindrance than help. With any wind at all, SFG's make a plane do really stupid, unpredictable things in the air.
