For those looking for a stable and controlled platform for complex pattern flying, the maker presented a solution using the Twisted Hobbys Synergy 2.0 remote-controlled aerobatic plane. This lightweight flyer is a flat-profile foam design, suitable for F3P style maneuvers, and the maker described its flying characteristics as very smooth and precise. The aircraft features a decoration scheme utilizing white and magenta patterns, and its control surfaces operate via pushrods connected to servos.



The construction allows the plane to perform impressive feats, including vertical ascents, tight rolls, and flat spins close to the ground. The maker noted that the plane excels at high-alpha maneuvers and can hover nose-up during a prop-hang. The landing method is unique; the pilot secures the hovering aircraft and then shuts down the motor.



The maker believes the aircraft is powered by a 2s 450 battery, suggesting a flight duration of roughly four to five minutes, depending on how the throttle is managed. The initial flights involved the maker’s son, followed by the maker flying the plane himself, which the maker thoroughly enjoyed. It is worth noting, however, that the specific details regarding the onboard electronics and the motor specifications were not provided.


I am interested in how the control surfaces were moved. Could you detail how the maker achieved actuation for those surfaces?

The maker’s aircraft utilizes servos that are linked to pushrods to operate its control surfaces. The maker also mentioned that the plane is a lightweight flat-profile foam flyer and is decorated with white and magenta patterns.
