TwinStar II from Multiplex.

Model’s data.

The model is made from special foam Elopor,

Wing span - 1420 mm
Length – 1085 mm
Weight – 1500 g
Wing area – 43 dm
Wing loading - 35 g/sq. dm

You can buy BK kit (it is kit with all miscellaneous and without electronics.) or RR (fully competed). It is possible buying upgrade accessories for model – more powerful motors and speed controllers, servos, floating and e.t.c.

The manufacture makes model as trainer. The model doesn’t have landing gear. It should be hand launch to take off and landing will perform on fuselage. The model is able to take off from ground but it possible to break propeller due small clearance. Therefore I recommend taking off from snow in the winter and hand launching in the other seasons. The model has a big wing area and has good gliding performance without motors but it is sensitive to the wind. If wind is forcer than 3 m/s the model has tendency wobbling. It makes control model a little bit hard. I assume that this model to calm weather only.

I bought BK kit and upgrade set of motors, speed controllers and servos:

2 motors PERMAX BL-0 2830-1100
2 speed controllers MULTIcont BL-20 SD
2 props 8x5
2 aluminum motor mounts
2 adaptor for spinners
Additional wires
Battery LiPo eco 3/1-3000 12c.

It is easy to complete model and it takes a couple of hours. Included manual clear and has a lot of pictures. The decals included in the kit are small and pale. It is necessary to color the model with bright markers to achieve well reading the model in the air.

The model handles easy in the air. It can make some simply maneuvers and forgives a lot of mistakes of beginners.

It is possible to install small camera on the model. The propellers are out of visibility. The model suits for FPV conversation.
