Default pic of my new twin and a few notes

I thought I would share my sucessful twin project. It is a rather interesting 2548 or 2610 legal ME-410. I fly with the NC combat group near Raleigh. Anyway since I have a pair twins at home (1 yo boy and girl) I knew twins were more difficult but a worth while project. So my first attempt at a twin was a P-38. I had a few nerve racking flights of which only 1 had a sucessful ending. Design was weak with nasty snap tendancies and not enough speed to be stable. So my second attempt had a more standard fuse and tail group with alot more area.

I put it for the first time yesterday. Two trim flights and it was ready to tie a streamer on it. It scored a cut on it's first sortie. Second sortie it got cut but mixed it up well.

Let me know if anyone needs any advise on twins (not just planes)...
