Which Twin ARF to get?
I am interested in getting into Twin Engines; Eventually do a Scale Project; would like to get a Twin ARF to get some experience in twins; which one would be a good choice: Seagull Dual-ACE; Hobbico Twinstar or Cedar Hobbies Twin Stick. Thanks.

I own all 3.
The TwinStar (GMS .32) is a twin trainer for smaller engines. Flies good, but not if you are used to high performance sport or 3D planes.
The Dual Ace (Evo .46) looks scale, takes a long time to put together and flies well. Does regular acro.
The Twin Stick(OS .46AX) flies like a Stick. Most fun of the 3, in my opinion. Does everything except for 3D. Flat spins and does great squares. Lands nicely. No bad habits that I see. I bought an extra one to have as a spare just in case...

Das,
Have to agree with Ed on this one...
But I did notice you have in your post:
Given that part I would say go with the Twinstar
as it is about the highest wing loading of the three..
The Dual Ace flys slightly light,, both are very
predictable..
Nowww, the CH Twin Stix,, what can I say..
It is just plain ole fun no matter how you look at it..
But as a twin trainer,, hhmm,, I would have to say no..
