Introduction
VERSATILE AND CAPABLE
The DHC-6 Twin Otter was established by de Havilland Canada in 1965. Developed as a rugged STOL (Brief Liftoff and Landing) commuter airplane, the Twin Otter carried passengers and cargo into extreme environments such as the sub-zero Antarctic and scorching North African desert. The line was closed down in 1988, after producing 844 airplane. Viking Air Limited bought the Type Certificates for all out-of-production de Havilland airplane in 2005 and announced the Viking Series 400 Twin Otter Production Program 2 years later. By mid-2015 Viking provided 75 brand-new airplane and re-established the Twin Otter as an effective commuter airliner — while almost 500 of the initial airplane also stayed in operation. The E-flite® Twin Otter 1.2m is a scale reproduction that makes the ideal very first twin-powered model for intermediate to skilled RC pilots. It's flexible, simple to fly, and is equipped with functional features that include LED navigation and landing lights, flaps, and optional-use floats.

The ESCs are wired so they can be powered with a single THREE 2200-3200mAh battery to deliver better-than-scale power and long flight times of as much as 10+ minutes.
 



Versatile Gear Options
Equipped with tricycle landing equipment that includes a steerable nose wheel, the Twin Otter uses excellent ground handling and can be flown from paved, turf or dirt surface areas. You can also fly from water using the consisted of float set — it matches the trim scheme and features a water rudder for outstanding steering control. Both equipment alternatives are simple to install and can be switched out in minutes.
 







Functional Features
The realistic-looking LED landing and navigation lights are factory-installed and powered from the flight battery. Operational flaps provide enhanced slow-flight ability and performance while also making it possible to take off and land in shorter distances and at slower speeds.
 



Resilient Design
Building and construction with molded EPO product makes it possible to duplicate complex details and shapes in a lightweight yet durable kind. The result is an outstanding scale appearance that's simple to preserve and provides the best flight experience possible.
 







Bind-N-Fly Conclusion Level Advantage
Currently own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) airplane make entering the air rapidly and with the best control experience possible simpler than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you require to do is bind the receiver to a suitable transmitter, complete any final assembly, and fly!

This Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver including AS3X (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) innovation that works behind the scenes to ravel the results of wind and turbulence. The result is an increased sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you're flying a much bigger, skillfully tuned aircraft.

If this is your very first model of its type, or you desire an additional margin of safety while acquainting yourself with the aircraft, you can allow the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope protection innovation constructed into the receiver. No programs is required. Simply change up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select made it possible for, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
These envelope restricts keep the aircraft from rolling or pitching upside down. They also avoid extreme climb or dive angles.

Automatic Self-Leveling
The aircraft quickly goes back to and holds level flight when the sticks are launched and in the center position. It's also helpful for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches and landings.

Easy Change Assignment—No Complex Programming Required
The easy treatment for designating a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off does not need any complex programs and takes just a couple of seconds.

If you don't want to allow the SAFE Select features, just bind the receiver usually and it will function like a basic AS3X receiver.
