Default RE: Hangar 9 produced the Twin Otter!


ORIGINAL: bigjim195944

Mine is 95% and should be maiden flight this Sunday. Went electric with two Turnigy 50x45 890kv with 12x8 APC props and Turnigy Kforce 80amp ESC and Rhino 4900 4s batts. She came in at 13 pounds and balances surprisingly rearward, this was totaly unexpected as the motors and batteries are ALOT bigger than speced. Time will tell if it a bit too much or an ok flier.
"Too much or an OK flier ?"

From some of the reports I've read, it flies like a big trainer.

I'm scaling mine out, so it won't be ready to fly for a while. So far I've got about 75 hours into it.
