Another Twister takes to the skies

Looking beautiful in the air after a 10 year build (off an on!) by Krishna Parikh in Australia. 

This one is from an early, DG built, kit.

It is the first Twister to be powered by a Rotax 912 engine.

Empty weight 290kg. Cruises at 130 kts burning 18 litres per hour.

Swinging a huge Hercules prop - 69 inches in diameter.

This is the first Twister to fly in the Southern Hemisphere.

I wish Krishna many happy hours of flying fun.

Six Twisters

It must be a new record? 6 Twisters in one place at once.

Photos were taken at Paderborn Haxterberg earlier this year.

I hope we can have a big dedicated Twister get together next year.
