Specifications
The
Twister
kit consists of structural components made from honeycomb fiber glass composites,
with spars and additional reinforcements made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. For extra safety, an
aramid honeycomb monocoque (cockpit cell) is used.
The
Twister
is an aerobatics-capable cantilever low-wing plane with cruciform tail unit, retractable
two-wheel landing gear and flap system. Optionally a rescue system can be installed in the cockpit cell.
There are two fuselage variants: one prepared for mounting a rescue system and one for use without a
rescue system.
