Home -> R/C Airplanes -> Twinjet

Here is my first Twinjet. I painted it up to look like the Blue Angels.

I got tired of hand launching it, so I thought I would add retracts to it so I could ROG takeoff.

The additional weight of the retracts made the plane underpowered, so I added cobalt motors.

Here are the vitals on my first Twinjet:

	Multiplex Twinjet kit
	Twin Maxx Products 4014 cobalt motors
	Twin APC 6x3 pylon props
	Robart 1/2a mechanical retracts
	10 x Sanyo CP-1700 cells.

The retract conversions were fun...but, they totally changed the flight dynamics of the plane. After many flights, I eventually had an accident where I ground-looped the plane, and totally screwed up the airframe. Several months later I yearned for the stock Twinjet, so I built a 2nd one.

Vitals on this Twinjet:

	Multiplex Twinjet kit
	Twin speed 400 motors
	Twin gunther props
	8 x RC-2400 batteries
	Home made decals using Photoshop and my inkjet printer.

Total Construction Time = A couple of evenings during the week. Took me just as long to make the decals as it did to build the plane.
