Motor : 2 x Turborix 1050 KV Brushless Out runner
ESC : 2 x RCFORALL 20 Amp

This plane is a beauty and after flying the Easy cub and Now the Twin star I  am truly a Multiplex Fan in every way .

2 sorties of 20 min each  reduced the individual cell voltage from 4.07 to 3.72 , I am sure the plane could have flown for easily another 40 mins on the same battery pack.
This plane requires a lot of landing room as its glide is  so good that it just wants to remain afloat unless you delibrately make an attempt to land it .
All this does not make it a lazy plane to fly , put it thru Rolls , Loops etc and it passed these with flying colors  as you will see in the Video

Here are some Photos will post the Video Tomorrow.
The Funniest is the relaxed way in which Venkat was piloting the plane  during its long sorties   the chappal was the antenna stand to keep it of the ground

Subu ,
: 3-4 mins , I will get you the longer version next time if Saju can hold the camera that long 

the wind was too much  even then a good job looking forward for the 30 min video if you ever shoot it

Yesterday the wind was not that bad OR may be we have got used to the wind  since we any way fly close to the sea .
