    Review Notes:
    Pros:
    - Lights!!! It comes with an awesome light kit
    - Mesmerizing Twin Props
    - Powerful 1S Twin motors
    - Cool trim scheme
    - Can be stored and travel with it protected in the box
    Cons:
    - The tail sits down with no battery in the battery bay.
    - Bent front nose gear (easy fix with pliers and you should always make adjustments on all planes out of the box anyway.
    - No rudder, the differential thrust will be cool for tricks, but I would have preferred a traditional rudder instead.
    This is how Horizon Hobby describes this plane:
    "De Havilland Canada developed the DHC-6 Twin Otter in 1965. Designed as a rugged STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) commuter aircraft, the Twin Otter carried passengers and cargo into harsh environments like the sub-zero Antarctic and the scorching North African desert. Viking Air Limited purchased the Type Certificates for all out-of-production de Havilland aircraft in 2005 and announced the Viking Series 400 Twin Otter Production Program two years later. By mid-2015, Viking re-established the Twin Otter as a successful commuter airliner. The E-flite® UMX™ Twin Otter is an ultra-micro class scale replica that can be the perfect first twin-powered model for intermediate to experienced RC pilots. It's convenient and easy to fly, and is outfitted with functional features including LED navigation and landing lights, twin brushless motors with counter-rotating 3-blade props - plus it can be equipped with optional floats to fly from pools, ponds, and lakes!
    There's no better choice for RC pilots who want a great first - or next - twin model than the E-flite UMX Twin Otter! It delivers exciting "bush plane" scale looks and performance and the inherent stability of a high-wing design. Because of its convenient ultra-micro size, it can be flown in more places and smaller spaces, including in many yards, parks, and sports fields. You can even remove the landing and install the optional floats (sold separately) to fly from pools, ponds, and lakes! Along with molded-in panel lines, corrugated control surfaces, and a scale-inspired trim scheme, the UMX Twin Otter is also equipped with scale-looking LED navigation and landing lights and exclusive AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. Plus, the brushless motors - with counter-rotating 3-blade props - are compatible with common and affordable 1S 500-800mAh batteries also used for the UMX Ultrix™ and other popular models. The E-flite UMX Twin Otter offers a truly unique flying experience a wide range of pilots can enjoy!"

    Nice, might get one just a bit concerned about taking off and landing on rough surfaces. Does it look at least as sturdy as a UMX Turbo Timber?

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  Год назад +1

      I personally would not try to fly it off of grass unless it is a golf green. In some ways it seems as sturdy as the UMX TT, but the landing gear isn’t on the same level. I hope that helps and sorry for the delayed response 👊🏻💥👊🏻

    Ryan, add 85% Expo on you rudder and it will steer and fly much better. It won't be so jerkee on the ground, and the air you be able to do hammer heads and coronated turns so much better! 👍😉
