The DHC-6 Twin Otter was developed by de Havilland Canada in 1965. Designed as a rugged STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) aircraft, the Twin Otter transported passengers and cargo to extreme environments such as the icy Antarctic or the scorching desert of North Africa. For 60 years, the Twin Otter has been considered the most reliable and versatile aircraft in its class! The E-flite Twin Otter 1.4m is a faithful replica and the ideal twin-engine model for intermediate to experienced RC pilots. It is versatile, easy to fly, and packed with practical features, including LED navigation and landing lights, flaps, and mounting hardware for optional floats. The BNF Basic version also features improved AS3X+ technology, which compensates for wind and turbulence even more effectively. It also features optional SAFE Select technology for even easier flyingalong with differential thrust and thrust reverse for precise ground handling and other maneuvers! Both versions are equipped with Spektrum servos, a Dual Smart Lite ESC, and 3S and 4S compatible motors.
For RC pilots looking for a great twin-engine model, the E-flite Twin Otter 1.4m is the perfect choice. It combines impressive scale looks with outstanding performance and offers natural stability thanks to its high-wing design. At over 1.2m tall, it’s still manageable. The model can be transported fully assembled. This allows you to fly it in a variety of locationswhether on paved surfaces, grass, or solid surfaces, such as large parks, sports fields, or RC airfields. But that’s not all: Remove the landing gear, install the optional floats, which are also used on the popular 1.2m and 1.5m Timber models (sold separately), and you’re ready to fly over ponds and small lakes!
The E-flite Twin Otter 1.4m not only impresses with details like integrated panel lines, ribbed control surfaces, and a modern scale color scheme, but also with functional features. These include working flaps, LED navigation and landing lights, and contra-rotating propellers with black and white stripes that look great both stationary and in motion. The factory-installed servos, including a particularly robust metal gear servo for controlling the nose gear, ensure precise and reliable control at any speed. Both versions of the model feature a powerful power system with Spektrum outrunner motors and an Avian 25-amp Dual Smart Lite ESC, compatible with common 3S and 4S batteries ranging from 2200-3200 mAh.
The BNF Basic version is also equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR631+ receiver, featuring exclusive and enhanced AS3X+ and optional SAFE Select technologies. It also features standard differential thrust and optional thrust reverser, which can be used for special ground maneuvers and other functions. All of these features make the Twin Otter 1.4m a unique flying experience that will delight pilots of all experience levels!
Already have a Spektrum transmitter? With Bind-N-Fly (BNF) model aircraft, getting into the air quickly and enjoying the best possible performance has never been easier. The models are ready to fly out of the box with the power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed. All you have to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, complete any final assembly steps, and you’re ready to fly!
The Twin Otter 1.4m is equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian Dual Smart Lite ESC, which provides a wealth of real-time power system telemetry data, including motor RPM, battery voltage, and morewith both Smart and non-Smart batteries. This data is transmitted during flight via compatible receivers (including the AR631+) and Spektrum AirWare-enabled transmitters (such as the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, DX9, NX6 through NX20, iX12 through iX20, and others). Additionally, the receiver is equipped with a Smart Transmitter Model File, allowing all NX and iX transmitter settings to be imported during the binding process.
Differential thrust and the optional motor/thrust reverser (included as standard on the BNF Basic version; a Smart-compatible receiver is required for the PNP version) provide improved ground control, making taxiing, takeoff, and landing much easier. They also enable specialized aerobatic maneuvers. Both features are especially useful when flown from the water using the optional floats (sold separately). The floats are the same ones used on the popular 1.2 m and 1.5 m Timber models.
The factory-installed brushless dual-motor powertrain consists of a 25-amp Spektrum Avian Dual Smart Lite ESC and custom-tuned motors that deliver ample thrust from a single 3S 22003200mAh LiPo battery. Alternatively, you can use a 4S battery for even more power and unlimited climb capabilityall without any additional modifications or upgrades!
No glue or special tools are required for final assembly, so the Twin Otter 1.4m is ready to fly in less than it takes to charge its battery! While it’s compact enough to fit into almost any vehicle when fully assembled, the two-piece wing can be easily removed thanks to tool-free connections, making transport and storage even more convenient.
Reinforced lightweight EPO airframe with hybrid composite structure plus improved nose gear for extreme loads and high-quality metal servo for precise steering and rudder control.
