Ok guys. i got a twinstar in a trade. and was wondering how she flies? i have only had one twin plan and well ill just say it wasnt a good Experience . i sold it at the feild the day of the maiden : ] but here i go gonna give it another shot. "why do i do these things to my self?" i have plenty of flight Experience(9 years), but not enough with a twin. have any of you had any trouble with one. or anything i should know about it before i maiden it?

I have the TwinStar with (2) OS.25FX's on it and it flies beautifully. I didn't realize an engine went out on me the first time until I did a low pass over the field. Power it right and you'll be happy..........

I'm on my second one, the first had two OS 40-FP engines and my present one is a VOLTER.

Easy to fly and easier to land than a trainer, this plane IS a twin trainer.

I have one with two OS 26 four strokes. Enough power to fly without a problem but I wqouldn't use anything smaller. With these engines it would take quite a run if trying to take off from grass, especially if it is long. Paved runways are not a problem It will do large loops and roll without a problem. You don't say what engines you have in the plane. If you have 40 size rwo strokes you only get five or six minutes worth of flight because of the small fuel tanks so make sure to use a timer and keep the flight short. It does land better with two engiens running over one or none. Lastly it likes to land with some power because it is not a floater like a single engined high wing trainer. It has a high enough wing loading that it heads for the ground when the power is pulled off. Its an easy and fun plane to fly, have a good time.

I had OS25FX's on mine, great twin trainer airplane. I had mine set up to with throttle to rudder mixing, IE, Left rudder, the Rt engine would speed up a bit. It was fun for taxing and stall turns. My throttle trim just worked out that one engine would quit before the other. I would do a long take off and fly on 1 engine. just need to watch turns. The nacelles on this thing point out so it doesn't realy want to spin in on you. If you do get in trouble on 1 engine just throttle back alittle bit. Have fun!

Yep, probably the same wing ribs in the Twinstar wing as in their high winged trained. This is one of the reasons that I don't care for the model.
