Default RE: Twin Otter 125inch wingspan

Lins, small world!

Here is a better landing, and one which looks perfect in every way to me. The Twin Otter can come in very steep, and still flare for a nice nose-high landing.

By the way, go-arounds in the DHC-6 with 15 degrees of flaps end up being nose down. (The nose points down as you climb with power, so you have a view of the runway getting smaller. Very different.) For you guys building, slow flying the mode will be a blast as that is what it is really good at. Too many flyers just keep it powered-up and flying full tilt and it doesn't look very scale that way. Slowing it down is where the fun starts!
