I've always had a soft spot for these twins. I think it has to do with going to hobby shows with my dad and seeing a few at funflys. Listening to two saitos at the same time sounded incredible to me. This is one sharp model thats forsure. Keep up with the maintenance, i hope it lasts a long while.
Absolutely brilliant. Really good looking plane. Flys very stable. The pilot did an excellent job and the Saito engines sound terrific. Good luck with your plane.
Nice looking model. If only someone would have made a set of the correct scale short main, and nose gear struts for the retracts. Really beautiful flight. That first takeoff was awesome, as well as scale. Great job my man!! NOTHING any cooler than a scale bird with twin 4-strokes, nothing!! She would still be overpowered with a set of Saito .50's. What is the ready to fly weight? Thanks.
Very impressive. 2 x 4 strokes sound unbelievable scale. Awesome project👍👍. Any advice on engines thrusts. I'm working on twin b25 and notice strong left torque on taxiing approaches.
Generally you’ll always have left turning tendencies. I mitigate mine by moving my throttle very slowly so I don’t introduce a lot all at once. This included throttle reductions. Now if you’ve got two identical engines and they have different power outputs then you’ll have to fix that either by engine tuning or radio mixing.
Getting them to sync wasn't too much work. I rebuilt each engine with new bearings, valve springs, and even rebuilt the carburetors with all new gaskets. My reasoning was to have as close to possible identically performing (and reliable) engines. The throttle geometry is also as closely symmetrical as possible such as throttle arm angles and pushrod length. The new Spektrum update allows you to trim each engine's idle independently and the high end I've done with the high speed needle adjustment. Each engine gets 9200rpm and will idle around 2000 rpm. After 10 flights I need to do some very minor adjustments as the engines get broken in again and are slightly out of sync at full throttle. Glad you enjoyed it! I'll have some more videos of it soon.
@@IllFlyIt I would figure it'd be rather difficult to do, but sounds like it wasn't too bad. That's awesome! I'm still very much new to glow... Been dabbling a little off and on for the past year or so. But starting to get more used to it and make some progress.
@@perkyplanesrc9363 Not hard at all if you take your time. The key is to adjust each engine independently of each other running one engine at a time, then crank them together and see where you're at. The key secret is when you adjust them when they are running together is, you NEVER want to lean one engine to meet the other, NEVER!! You only want to enrichen one to meet the other. Very, very important with glow/gas twins.
Cool as a cucumber 🥒 well done. That takes some nerve. I really enjoyed that. 👍👏
Very nice build ! 💙🇺🇸👍🙋♂️
Dude that plane is awesome. Amazingly stable. And a joy to watch you fly my friend. Great build!

@IllFlyIt Thanks for the advice. Twin is new experience for me. Hopefully will maiden before the season ends. I wish you soft landings
@@josseyt best of luck! This was my first twin and it’s highly rewarding.
Nice flight! How difficult is it to try and sync up 2 glow engines?
I have subscribed to you as well.

You’ve done a great job on your 310, really sounds good. Thanks for the video.
@@IllFlyIt Thanks for the excellent description and help!!
There is way too much engine vibration at high throttle!
What you’re seeing is called rolling shutter from the camera. They’re indeed vibrating but it’s nothing like the camera makes it out to be.
