DHC-6 Twin Otter 1.4m BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select

DHC-6 Twin Otter 1.4m BNF Basic with AS3X+ and SAFE Select Overview

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. For 60 years, the Twin Otter has stood alone as the most reliable and versatile aircraft in its class! The E-flite Twin Otter 1.4m 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 equipped with functional features including LED navigation and landing lights, flaps, and mounting hardware for optional floats. The BNF Basic version is also equipped with enhanced AS3X+ technology that smooths out the effects of wind and turbulence better than ever before. Plus, it features optional-use SAFE Select technology that makes it even easier to fly - along with differential thrust and motor reversing for special ground handling and other capabilities! Both versions include Spektrum servos, a Dual Smart Lite ESC, plus 3S and 4S compatible motors.

For RC pilots who want a great first – or next – twin model, there's no better choice than the E-flite Twin Otter 1.4m. It delivers exciting scale looks and amazing flight performance, along with the inherent stability of a high-wing design. The larger than 1.2m but still convenient size 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 landing gear, install the optional floats also used for popular Timber 1.2m and 1.5m models (sold separately or in a money-saving combo), and now you're ready to fly at large ponds and small lakes!

Along with molded-in panel lines, corrugated control surfaces, and a modern-day scale trim scheme, the E-flite Twin Otter 1.4m comes with many functional features including operational flaps, LED navigation and landing lights, plus counter-rotating props finished with black and white stripes that look awesome whether spinning or standing still. The factory-installed servos, including a more durable metal-geared servo for the nose gear steering, provide precise and reliable control at every speed. Both versions feature a power system with Spektrum outrunner motors and an Avian 25-amp Dual Smart Lite ESC that are compatible with popular 3S and 4S 2200-3200mAh batteries. The BNF Basic version is also equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR631+ receiver featuring exclusive and enhanced AS3X+ along with optional-use SAFE Select technologies. It also features standard differential thrust and optional-use motor reversing for special ground handling and other capabilities. It all adds up so the Twin Otter 1.4m offers a truly unique flying experience that a wide range of pilots can appreciate and enjoy!
