The
factory-installed power systems feature high-power brushless outrunner motors
equipped with three-blade counter-rotating propellers. The ESCs are wired so
they can be powered with a single 3S 2200-3200mAh battery to deliver
better-than-scale power and long flight times of up to 10+ minutes.
Versatile
Gear Options
Equipped
with tricycle landing gear that includes a steerable nose wheel, the Twin Otter
offers excellent ground handling and can be flown from paved, grass or dirt
surfaces. You can also fly from water using the included float set — it matches
the trim scheme and features a water rudder for superb steering control. Both
gear options are easy to install and can be swapped out in minutes.
Functional
Features
The
realistic-looking LED landing and navigation lights are factory-installed and
powered from the flight battery. Operational flaps offer improved slow-flight
capability and performance while also making it possible to take off and land in
shorter distances and at slower speeds.
Durable
Design
Construction
with molded EPO material makes it possible to replicate complex details and
shapes in a lightweight yet durable form. The result is an outstanding scale
appearance that's easy to maintain and delivers the best flight experience
possible.

VERSATILE
AND CAPABLE
The
DHC-6 Twin Otter was developed by de Havilland Canada in 1965. Designed as a
rugged STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) commuter aircraft, the Twin Otter
carried passengers and cargo into harsh environments such as the sub-zero
Antarctic and scorching North African desert. The line was shut down in 1988,
after producing 844 aircraft. 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
delivered 75 new aircraft and re-established the Twin Otter as a successful
commuter airliner — while nearly 500 of the original aircraft also remained in
operation. The E-flite¢ç
Twin Otter 1.2m is a scale replica that makes the perfect first twin-powered
model for intermediate to experienced RC pilots. It's versatile, easy to fly,
and is outfitted with functional features that include LED navigation and
landing lights, flaps, and optional-use floats.

THE
PERFECT FIRST TWIN
For
RC pilots who want a great first (or next) twin model, there's no better choice
than the E-flite¢ç
Twin Otter 1.2m. It delivers exciting "bush plane" scale looks and performance
along with the inherent stability of a high-wing design. The convenient size of
the Twin Otter means you can transport it fully assembled for flying at a wide
variety of locations with paved, grass or packed dirt surfaces, such as large
parks, sports fields and RC flying fields. Your adventures won't stop there,
though — remove the tricycle landing gear, install the provided floats, and now
you're ready to fly off of large ponds and small lakes. Having two landing gear
options included in the box only hints at this model's incredible value. Along
with molded-in panel lines, corrugated control surfaces and a scale-inspired
trim scheme, the E-flite Twin Otter comes with many functional features
including operational flaps, LED navigation and landing lights, and props
finished with black and white stripes that look awesome whether spinning or
standing still. The Twin Otter 1.2m offers a truly unique flying experience that
a wide range of pilots can enjoy.
