Hay Hemi,
From what I can see, the Twin Air is not available for sale at this date. The Twin Star and the Twin Ugly stick are.

If you were a seasoned pilot, I would agree that the Twin Star would soon ware it's fun factor out with just a few trips to the flying field. It does have small control surfaces, but it is very controlable. Now your just starting out flying twins...so this is all new and I do believe the Twin Star will do the job of introducing you to the wonderful world of twin r/c flying. I personally like the Twin Star and if flies quite well with a pair of .25's. Yes the fuel tanks are just under 4 oz., but with a pair of .25's you will get enough flight time to enjoy the model. There are several good posts on the Twin Star. Plus its available, so are spare parts, it's cheap, and if flies well enough to teach you the baics. By the way...The Real Flight Sim, with 3.50.060, flies exactly like the model does. The Twin Star does not have much of a glide...neither does the R.F. sim. I flew my first Twin Star stock and I take it out ever once in a while and fly it. It is to me a good trainer...and that is what your looking to do...train and learn. You need to gain confidence in your twin flying...but you also need to have good basic skills flying on a single engine model first. If your progressed past your second or third model...then the Twin Star or, Twin Ugly Stick would be a good twin to begin with. I have two fist addition kits of the Twin Star...not the second issue of the model that Tower now sells. The fist issue had covering problems...yet my first model still has it's origonal covering. I just clean it right after I fly each flight...religiously. It has lasted this long because of this. I heard the second issue of the Twin Star used Monacote...but since I don't have one of the second issued kits, I can't conferm this.

In all reality...your getting into a training mode...in twin flying. And since you have already stated you have a pair of .46's...to me...the Twin Ugly stick is your ticket. It's inexpensive, Cedar Hobbies has them in stock for under $120.00 and with minimal work...your flying. It is as forgiving as any twin trainer model can be...and you can break in your engines on this airframe as you learn. You should always fuel proof every model engine/fuel tank bay...and balance it properly. If you pre-balance your model after you install your engines...on the balance beam...you can play with your radio gear placement on the balancing model...so you know where to place your radio gear to balance the model, prior to installing your radio and battary. I do it with every model I have this way, and it saves you a lot of reinstilation time if your first radio and battery placement is off, for balance issues.

It is most important that you learn your engines...what ever the make or model. Try to get two of the same make and model...and lot number, engines. Set up each engine onto itself...not to each other. I just get the idle close on my twins...for a rock solid near equal idle, and tune each engine to run it's best. I do not tune the high end of each engine to match together...but what gives me the most reliable run and transition to full throttle...and even if your high end is a few hundred RPM off from being the same, on your twin, it is not a big deal...you will not notice it in the air at all. All the time you spend here...learning and tuning your engines, and to get your engines to run reliable...will reap great rewards later in your twin flying. Before you make your first take off...get your engines to run good. Losing an enine on a twin is much different then on a single engine airframe. Believe me...stuff happens so fast that if your not paying attention...and you lose an engine...your in for a real surprise.

I haven't found a perfect ARF yet...the only models I find perfect...I either scratch build or kit built, I build myself. All ARF models need work and have issues...some more then others and just how it is. Again...some more then others and if you have built a few ARF's then you know what to look out for and how to properly mod your ARF, to fly safely. And if your not sure...just begin a post here on R/C Universe with your problem...and some one will step up and give you the help your asking for.

What ever you chose to do...just go do it and fly. Your in for a real kick in the shorts, for I love twin flying and the sound the models make. Different engins and headers make different sounds...all will be music to your ear...and all fun to fly. Some models take real skill to fly and keep in one piece...and the rush of it all...is ok too. I've lost seveal twins...well maybe more then just a few...but I'm not counting. I'm still learning and each model teaches me something new. And no matter what...they are all lots of fun for me.

Soft landings always,
Bobby of Maui
