Default Flying a twin engine a/c...

In the near future I'll have to fly a twin motor aircraft (for a school related project) and was wondering if there's anything I really need to know first. It's twin electric, so I don't really have to worry about an engine quitting. I've never flown a twin and just wanted to make sure there's not something I don't know about. Thanks for the help!

I started flying a Multiplex TwinStar last weekend. It's my third twin, second electric. It's a great flying plane and needed no trim. It does require more aileron and I cut down the elevator throw. You're right about the reliability of twin electrics, but I did have an engine go out in my first electric twin, a Koyosho Duet. That really dates me. Check your engines carefully, make sure everything is tight. I think you'll enjoy it.
