E-flite® Twin Otter 1.2m PNP & BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE (includes Floats)

[@mgas1237]

Damn Horizon. Digging in my pocket again! Its cute :) The video says 1800-2200 gives 10-15 minutes but the web specs say 2200-3200. That's interesting....

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

The correct specs are 1800 - 3200.

[@LoveRC]

Can I use a 3s 3300?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

@@LoveRC Yes! Though depending on the dimensions/shape you made need to remove a small amount of foam material from the rear walls in the battery compartment (which is very easy to do).

The painted twin props are a nice touch. I like the detail going into these models!

[@copterscrawlersplanesrcpac9225]

Ok, I've often flown in and worked around the Twin Otter, this model is what I've been waiting years for! I'm getting one!

[@JoeSmoe1]

I just ordered this plane. Looks great, but PLEASE release an Airliner (non licenced to keep it affordable)

[@thegooserider7245]

Affordable and horizon hobby? You have seen the price of their spektrum products on the horizon website yes?

[@Itallianmobboss]

joe smoe they should have put landing gear doors on the last version of airliner. Maybe if the release a new one, it can just be white and you apply what airline decals you want

[@mmmasterscross7915]

Another Amazing Aircraft from HH! Love it and can not wait to get one soon! Thanks HH!

[@hunterfagan6272]

These planes that horizon hobby has made are the best!

[@victorrcjets7660]

looks great guys! I love that it can do water as well!

[@dr.loopinglooie5748]

I have loved a 1500mm Aero Commander with retracts instead. The UMX one was super cool and I would spend money on a bigger one again

[@jul1anuhd]

Can you please send me a link of this aircraft? I cant find it anywhere. Im searching so long... Thank you :D

[@pricelessppp]

Damn! Looks like a nice easy FPV Model!

[@AndrewFlyGuy]

FANTASTIC! Great value at $230 BNF! Love that y'all included the floats.

[@harpoon_bakery162]

I thought it was $179.00 usd, darn it. This will have to wait till spring. I could have been thinking of pricing for that Aero Scout or something

[@minininja5695]

The fact that it includes the floats actually makes it good deal at @ $200.

DC 6 tw on order. My 1st full size plane. Have some heli experience and boxing with a trainer. Will be doing more boxing with an instructor. Wish me luck. Beautiful plane. Well done horizon.

[@quilong]

I bought it as a used one, as I was afraid of high wing loading, unnecessarily, the aircraft slows down brilliantly with the flaps down, in addition, it lands beautifully by manipulating only the thrust. I hope HH will refresh it in a while!

[@minininja5695]

Hi Guys - Looks good, love the zebra prop!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

YES PLEASE!!!

[@mthemaniac]

Love the Twin Otter, they make great jump planes... the real ones that is. I just might have to try one of these.

[@keithshillbillyrcn849]

As always well done. Thank you for your video keep flying you guys. Just having fun RC'n with friends and family

[@dariusrucker7854]

Nice looking plane....now we need a 90 mm edf.

[@tomasteran1585]

I just got one the other day, flew pretty well in 20 mph winds… though I got lucky going without a crash (I don’t recommend flying with wind that fast). And that was without the SAFE feature on. I bet it’s even smoother with it on! I love this plane

[@peterbridger8464]

Fantastic. I live in Samoa and Samoa Airways uses the DH6. Definitely will be getting this and re-doing it in their livery. You have done amazing progress in 2019 and I have loaded my hanger with plenty of E-flite models. Looks like 2020 is going to be busy too with my bank account!! All the best to you all and your families for Christmas.

[@K5_BlaZer]

Hope this is a home run for Horizon, it sure looks like it!

[@dand318]

[@Martoon5]

Very nice! Is it possible to install fat tires for a tundra look and deeper grass capability? Which skis do you suggest?

[@chrisfinta4941]

Awesome plane

[@epoweredrc]

Cool looking plane.. Nice price for floats too.. Not that i could use them, but maybe. I just wish the AR636 would stop being used and you guys would start putting the new RX in them so be compatible with the Smart escs and all.. I might have to add this one to my Collection. Never owned or flown a twin, can you believe that in my 30 years of flying.

[@RadimentriX]

the gear looks quite stiff. does it have any kind of shocks to absorb rough terrain?

[@Mr.XJ.96]

CANT WAIT!!!!!

[@SDStudiosAnimations]

How long does an 1800 mAh battery last?

[@bluedec12]

wow just what I have been waiting for excellent job horizon hobby with flap, led, counter rotating twin motor and float with good price. I think this will be a hot seller cant wait until it comes out

[@razorbackbird2142]

Nice thing. I miss some new umx warbirds, to be honest. They are cool to weathering and detailing up. Crossing finger fingers every thursday.

[@netomonteiro7591]

Very good, That one.

Dear santa I have been a good boy at times this year So do believe I need this gift

[@nickm5808]

When will it be coming out for sale?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

You can pre-order now. BNF Models should ship just before Christmas.

[@harpoon_bakery162]

I would guess that wing mounted motors produce some wackiness on the CG, which makes it hard to balance? or no?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Not at all! As you can see in the video, and other videos now posted on KZbin, the Twin Otter 1.2m flies great with no "wackiness"!

OMG! 😍 Love it! Better will be only Draco🤠

[@darrel_gg]

Man if horizon hobby likes this comment, I'll order one soon

[@bryceh2163]

That’s awesome

[@der_911er7]

Place a new Night Flyer or back the E flite Night Braava;)

[@therandomman7593]

Two questions: how old do you have to be to fly this aircraft? How much altitude can the plane go up to? Edit: I also have another question. What if I buy a version that doesnt include the AS3X safe select, do I have to buy it somewhere?

[@AerospaceMatt]

Well, it’s been 2 years but I’ll still answer the question in case anyone else has these questions and would like them answered. 1. Recommended age is 14+, although someone younger with adult supervision can fly one of these, a long as they’ve flown a trainer first. 2. The FAA and AMA maintain a strict altitude limit of 400 feet AGL. Hypothetically it’s altitude is only limited to transmitter range, so if it were allowed an aircraft could theoretically achieve 2,600 feet (max range of Spektrum DX 6e Transmitter.) 3rd question: if you buy the PNP (the version WITHOUT AS3X and SAFE Select) you could either add a non gyro receiver (no stabilization) like the AR620 or a stability receiver from another model (as long as it has enough channels) but either way a receiver is needed for the model to operate.

[@matthewjames2649]

Yay floats...!!🖖

[@dustinreft23]

What charger do you recommend?

[@AerospaceMatt]

Any charger with 3-4s capability will work.

[@carterwhite363]

I am trying to decide what airplane to get I am a beginner and already have the sport cub s, people say that the high winged aircraft are more easy to fly yet the Cherokee is one of my favs and they are pulling me to both sides which should I choose?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

The Sport Cub S is an ultra micro model, so moving up to a larger park flyer or mid-sized model is a pretty big step...especially if it's a low wing model. For that reason we recommend going to a larger high wing trainer like the HobbyZone AeroScout S and S 2 1.1m ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3mkZWyHmsh5iJI ) or Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZjWomuMhr-lfZo ) first. As you can see in those videos, they are both capable of advanced aerobatics, even more so than the Sport Cub S, so they are well suited as trainers and beyond that too. Also, if you buy the RTF version of those models, you can use the DXe/DXS transmitter and 3S 2200mAh battery they include to fly the E-flite Cherokee 1.3m with. The Cherokee is likely too big of a step from the Sport Cub S, but it's a more practical next step after the AeroScout or Carbon Cub S (especially because you can use the same transmitter, battery and charger). The E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m is also a perfect "next step" airplane: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGGuZ4ZngJmpj8U

Hi there whats the body made of?

[@AerospaceMatt]

EPO foam (Expandable PolyOlefin) It’s basically really strong styrofoam.

[@LoveRC]

Can I use my 3s 3300 batteries on this?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Yes! Though depending on the dimensions/shape you made need to remove a small amount of foam material from the rear walls in the battery compartment (which is very easy to do). This Spektrum 3S 3200mAh 30C Smart LiPo battery fits perfectly, so you can compare the specifications for your battery to this one for added reference: www.horizonhobby.com/3200mah-3s-111v-smart-lipo-30c--ic3-spmx32003s30

[@reckemroysrc3764]

DRACO PLEASE. 😛

[@Johnn_T]

If only it was bigger (i.e. 1500mm wingspan or bigger). Missed opportunity🤷‍♂️

[@gpaje]

I think the idea was that it was small enough to carry in the car and fly even at a local park. Knowing Horizon, they will make a 2000mm if this one becomes popular.

[@Helicopterpilot16]

If only it was a 1.5m or hell a 2.0 meter!

[@harpoon_bakery162]

i remember on another video they said price would be way, way higher to go any bigger

Wooo, just found my first plane purchase for 2020!! 😍 Clear cockpit windows would have made it perfect though!
