Nice Handling Twin

Feb 28, 2025

Arrived in a large well packed cardboard box. No full instructions are included but are available on website. I found the following issues with my KingTwin; the tabs on the wing tip plugins need slightly trimming to click into the locks on the wing, the foam needed cutting away in all 3 retract bays to prevent undercarriage from jamming, the nose wheel steering slide rod needed a light grease to stop it jamming while retracting and the motors turn outward instead of the recommended inwards. The ESC motor wires have polarised plugs so the motor rotation can't be changed without changing the plugs, it flys fine with the outward rotation motors. It looks great in the air, no vices and flies very scale like at 1/3 throttle. I am using a 3300mah 4S battery and fly for 7 minutes with reserve.

Fly beautifully

The plane I feel is a bit overpriced at 400 dollars. I had an issue on my maiden where the nose gear got stuck and would not come down Took care of that and after a few flights got it just right. Now it's a great flying plane and surprisingly easy to land. Looks great in the air.

Great Flyer and Great Looker - Props??

Mar 28, 2024

I bought one of these after seeing one fly at the field - I love twins! It performed well on a 4S3300 and 4S3700, it could use a slightly bigger battery too. After I broke a prop and found that replacements weren't available I 3D printed an adapter to accommodate Master Airscrew 11x7 3-blade props and it flies even better now.
You do need to shave the wing lock clip tabs until they will securely snap in place but that's the only setup issue I had.

wing tips have to be shaved or retainer tabs to lock the tips onto the main wing. Great deal on sale . Too bad replacement props are backordered.

Went together easy. Props are flimsy and not I'm stock. .wheels are sketchy and not very strong. Wiring cover was not stuck on at the factory and blew off in mid air. On both the planes I bought. Had to rescue both. Other than that love it. Flys great...

Great flyer

Jan 14, 2023

The king twin arrived quickly from USA warehouse.
Setup extremely easy.when I made my maiden flight, the the aircraft tracked down the runway perfectly.
After lift off the lower light/ wire cover flew off. Aircraft landed safely.second flight, landed and went onto the grass resulting in the steering rod bending.
Subsequent flights great. Bright LEDs show up great I bright daylight as well as dusk. This model is a keeper, it loves to fly even when on of the horizontal stabilizers departed in flight due to my improper gluing. She was still controllable and landed safely. WOO!
The only thing I wish is for spare props be in stock. The B17 (4 pack) props are a great substitute.
