Skip, the C-160 is a nice flying twin. There are 2 of them flying in our club. Both of us are using OS 25 LA's for power and they are more than enough. We fly from a grass strip and the take off roll is about 200 ft. The Instructions that come with the kit are a bit sparse, so read them a few times to get familiar with the terms they use. Our kits have the balsa skinned foam wings, a neat trick for mounting the nacelle covers is to use a short pieces of the yellow inner part of a Ny-Rod as a anchor in the foam. I drilled the holes in the nacelle flanges and used them to mark the location on the wings. I used Elmers Poly-bond( same as GorillaGlue) for glue. Just drill the foam wing and take a toothpick and dip it in the glue then insert in the wing holes to insert the glue. Then spray a little water on the area of the holes to set off the glue and insert the short Ny-Rod pieces in the holes. After the glue dries trim the Ny-rod off flush and Use the little screws that came with the kit to hold the nacelle covers on. They work out if ya just screw them in the balsa skins. It takes a little work to get the fuel tanks and Throttle servos in. I used micro servos for the foam park flyers on my throttles. There is no load on a throttle arm so they work nicely there. Just set them up as close as you can to being mechanically identical. A Y- harness servo lead connects them to the Throttle ch on the rec. Mine blances where the plans call for. I did however change the metric nylon wing bolts for 10-32's as its easier to find them at the LHS. The nose gear axle that comes with the kit is cheesy, I replaced mine with a dual nose gear axle from Tower Hobbies.

As for flying it flys like a trainer. Almost too easy. Just set up your Engines to run as close to the same RPM as you can. Detune the fastest one to match the slowest running one. A few hundred rpm difference is nothing to worry about. Make sure they both run reliable at all throttle postions is tha main thing. ALWAYS do a run up test on them Hold the nose up and go from low to hi a few times to make sure the engines run RELIABLE. Like i said Mine has 2 OS 25LA's tuning 9x4 APC's. after takeoff I fly at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle, full throttle is just tooo fast for scale looks.

Any other questions you should do a search in RCU for more C-160 threads.
