Hey, gang. I'm gunning to fly a large scale twin engine plane (B-25 Mitchell), in fact I've already purchased it (88" Top Flight with very few flights; 15cc RCGF engines, etc. Its a beauty) but know that I'm probably not ready to fly it - I only soloed on Father's Day. I'm happy to sit on it for 6 - 8 months til im fairly sure Im ready to make the leap (I'm in club with some really experienced pilots, none with much twin engine experience however, and will trust their judgement in terms of my readiness to step up and fly the big boy. I think I'm a fairly solid beginner, but an begineer nontheless. I'm in love with the B-25 and wanted one in my collection so that when I'm confident, I'll have it and the enjoyment of flying the war- bird I've always dreamed of flying. Question.......is there a twin gas recommended as first twin (trainer) as I work my way up to large scale? Nothing against electrics, but im interested in training in the manner that I want to ultimately fly. I've come across the gas Twinstar in my research. Thoughts on it or any others as good starters in the twin space??

Thanks guys and gals

If you can find a Twin Star it would be a good trainer. I have flown mine for years. The one thing I would do to it though is add two inches to the rudder, it will give you more rudder authority and you will need it for slow speed engine out should that ever happen. It's a good plane I fly mine on a gravel and rough grass field. Hope this helps.
