    The
    Payne Knight Twister
    is a single-seat, single-engine aerobatic sport aircraft first flown by Vernon Payne in the United States in 1932 and marketed in plans form for homebuilding. It is a conventional biplane design with slightly staggered wings of unequal span. The wings are of fully cantilever design and do not require the bracing wires commonly used on biplanes or even interplane struts; however, most builders brace the wings with I-struts and at least one pair of wires. The cockpit is open, and the undercarriage is of fixed, tailwheel type with divided main units. The wings and horizontal stabilizer are of wooden construction, skinned in plywood, while the fuselage and vertical stabilizer are of welded steel tube covered in fabric.
    The Knight Twister built a reputation as a racing aircraft. One example, flown by Clyde Parsons, won the Sport Biplane Championship race at Reno in 1964. In the 1970s, Don Fairbanks competed with a Knight Twister now preserved at the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America museum in Novi, Michigan. Fairbanks set the world record in the sport biplane class of 178 mph (284 km/h) with this aircraft.
