RE: Starter Twin
I think the TwinStar is a GOOD twin to move into. I have had one for about three years and it is still fun to fly although I have moved to bigger twins. It will take a little getting use to. Most twins require you to carry power down to flare, and have higher than expected landing speed.
I have a pair of O.S. .25 on mine and it give plenty of speed and power. Verticle, two turn rolls.
The main thing is to break-in the engines on a test stand, 30-45 minutes, and have good fuel systems. Everything duplicated as close as possible.
I have had one engine failure, my fault. Made two patterns before landing without a problem.
KEEP THE BLUE SIDE UP AND THE ENGINES IN SYNC.
