Has anyone bought and flown the Twin Star I saw one at the hobby shop and just had to have it I would appreciate any feedback anyone has. I have 2 OS25 FXs coming for it I got a good deal by buying 2. So far I've been very impressed with the workmanship of the kit and ease of assembly. I love the sound of Twins flying. Thanks
I think you'll be happy with your plane. I believe the new one is covered in iron-on mylar, rather than the sticky back covering mine has.
I see no reason to make any modifications, using your 25FX engines. The ailerons and wing sizes are fine. With a pair of .25's, you will be able to make 10 minute flights just fine. My older version, with Tower .40's, flies about 7 minutes on the stock tanks, has plenty of vertical and great control. It will do huge loops, four point rolls or rolling circles, and all the run-of-the-mill aerobatics.
A nice feature is that landings are particularly easy. The way it sticks, once it touches down, reminds me of the Contender.
Good luck,
Dave Olson
