Default RE: TWINS! - Any advice for a first timer?

I am unable to upload the pics of my twin, it was 50% my own design so I had no idea how it would perform on the first flight. After geting the engines all tuned up, i got in in the air and kept it high over the field at all time just in case i had a engine die. As luck would have it, the fuel line came off in flight (see my gallery). i only had 3 flights and did not want to deal with thrust issues so i killed the good engine as it was in a good position to glide in. I made 2 mistakes that day, first i let my friends tune the engines and then i set the idle too high and the landings passes were so hot i found it easer to kill the engines after i was set up to land[X(]

fling the twin is a real adrenalin rush!
