Default RE: Hangar 9 produced the Twin Otter!

Hi Guys,

Mine arrived last Thursday. Most of the hobby shops should have one in stock by now.

Had a lot of fun taking all of the parts out of the box. Wow.....what a nice looking aircraft ! I had been tossing around the idea of using a pair of Saito .56 4-strokes, but then decided she's going to be electric powered.

It's going to take me awhile to put this one together as I'm planning on fabricating parts and adding a lot of extra scale details.

Spent time this afternoon poking a bunch of holes through her for the exterior lighting system. I counted 7 exterior lights from pictures I found on the internet of the real Twin Otter that Hanger 9 used as a model.

I thought something looked missing on the front of the model, so I've decided to attempt to make up a set of windshield wipers blades and linkage. This could be a challenge.

Joe M.
