Hello adrian222
Your plane is gorgeous. In case you have little or no experience/knowledge flying model twin engine planes, I urge you to read more about what is suggested with regard to mounting the engines with "out" thrust (I use 4 degrees on each engine, others use a greater angle), and what is suggested if an engine quits. When an engine quits the plane may snap roll into the dead engine. On some planes this is violent, others may be easier to control. Please read the experience of others. I have had only one twin; 48"WS, two .28 Magnum engines so my advice carries little weight. The safest thing to do when an engine quits is to put both engines at idle (a single throttle is recommended) regain control, then throttle up gently and land as soon as possible. I crashed every time I turned into the dead engine and I could not always decide which engine was stopped.
