IMPORTANT - I made an error at 11:57 on screen text say the props are CW and CCW they are in fact both CCW - watch out for my Conversion on it so one prop is CW and the other is CCW

it really is Beautiful as you say, I can see that shipping would cost a lot to Ecuador, we had the same problem with HobbyKing shipping from HongKong before them moved back into the UK, the shipping was more than the aircraft !!!. Thank you.

Hi Ian - looking forward to doing the maiden on this one - as you say Xfly are doing really well, I notice now that HobbyKing are now going to stock them along with their own brands of Durafly & Avios - No Problems ref the mention - Hope you are both keeping well, take care - Martyn

Wow, this Otter must eat its young or it's on steroids. It certainly is a well made plane, X-fly "usually" is. I really dig the paint scheme and the colors are well suited. Great morning video with coffee Martyn, AirHammer out!!

Hi Airhammer - absolutely agree with all you have said about Xfly and this Twin Otter, it really does make the E-Flite one look small..... pleased you enjoyed the video with a nice coffee, hope all is well, Martyn....OUT !

As a rule, I prefer my balsa and glow/gas powered models. But I tell ya what, this is a very,Very nice model. I'm tempted to order one myself. Great unboxing, and look over. You showed it of well. I can't wait to see the maiden of this beautiful bird. Thanks for bringing this to my attention

Back about 15 years ago I was all about building (using Balsa), IC engines and diesel, so Ido appreciate what you are saying here, indeed I still have 4 or 5 engines (just for display these days), about 4 years ago I totally switched to foam aircraft and Electric power, I would never go back - LOL - Too old to spend time building these days... Thanks for watching and leaving your comment, take care, Martyn

oh Martyn that outer box is big enough to stuff a body in if you wanted to bump off an annoyance in your life!! and you could have called it the last of the holiday unboxings!! 6S just how big do they make batteries? i like it but an unusual nose gear assembly they ought to do all steerable's that way!

Hi Keith - LOL guess it will also save on the need for a large size suitcase ..LOL... 6s for sure, when I started flying again approx 3 years ago I was all 3s then moved to 4s and now all my new stuff is 6S well most of it anyway - I need the power !! - ref the nose gear - it does at first glance seem a good idea - having it as a complete plug in module, I guess time will show how practical and robust it will be... but like you I do think it is a good idea.. Stay well Kerith (as much as we all can) keep safe and remember every vote counts 😉 Cheers Martyn

@@FlankerTankerMartyn every vote counting hasn't been a thing here in years! the demon rats cheat like motherfuckers! in new york you buy the office the minority ""community"" leaders sell the minority vote blocks to the highest bidder in killago there's stories of the same one voting 20 and 50 times at the same place with different ID's and doesn't even bother to change hos coat! (i got that story straight from one working there that day!) there's stories out of PA from election board workers of rest homes sending in 200 plus absentee ballots all with the exact same handwriting save the signature with each and everyone voting identically, (you know damn well as i do at least one in two hundred plus is going to vote different from the rest!!) then we get the stuff caught on video that nobody will do a damn thing about, out in LA there's video of people getting the homeless to sign over ballots for food and cigarettes in vegas there's video of people getting paid for filling out mail in ballots on the street in Ga there's video from a counting center where boxes of ballots were pulled out from under a table with a long cover over it by workers from the demon rat side with no one else there to see what was going on!!! i'm at the point where i'm ready to chuck out voting on morons for office and pick them at random off the jury roles and give them the choice of being on a jury or going to DC for one term and one term only with only the white house being a contest and that contest being everyone who wants it going into a room with an assortment of blunt objects provided and the one that walks out gets it!! and if whoever pulls out a 45 to be the one that walks out they get two terms!!! we might actually get one worth half a damn that way!!

LOL Hi Dean - I cannot even say I am down sizing in Numbers - the aircraft numbers seem to be static, and I just swap out 1 for 1, LOL or add 1 now and again - indeed this was not a downsize in any imaginable way , it dwarfs the E-Flite Twin Otter ... I was thinking I might need a long landing approach for it, but then the penny dropped - its STOL.... LOL, Hope all is well, take care.. Martyn

Here it is 3am & cannot sleep in this wRm night. Mine is coming by air…. Air ship that is. Posted on 29/11/23 and although i paid a hefty US$150 still not arrived DO NOT USE PORCUPINE R/C The reason i went with them is that Rc Castle said the box is too big. after ordering it, Castle said they could ship in 2 boxes. I have approached Paypal who have ‘stirred’ Porcupine up! Should it cancel, i will not re order. I can have fun watching you fly instead!!😂

@FlankerTanker its OK mate I just read up on it. It comes with a 5A separate BEC. I just ordered one from KingsLynn today and should be with me tomorrow. Very tempted to do a slight upgrade of putting the same sized but 750kv motors in. Will you be doing differential thrust?

Hi Gazza, Hope your are doing OK, It has been freezing here in the east... Xfly box on its way - Nice - I am happy to wait but what did you get from them, sorry if you have told me, I just forget things .... also I must ask, why did you not get it here in the UK ?? - I hear you about the T7A (80mm) - love it.. Xfly quality is very good, I would go as far as it is at time even better than e-flight, I have had some rough old moulding from E-flight over the years.... Fingers cross ref your imported Xfly - I will keep an eye out for the video.. Stay safe - Take care.. Martyn
