RE: Engines for Hangar 9 Twin Otter
I use two of the TT 40's for Pylon Racing and they both run really well. They seem very reliable and they are quite a bit chreaper than the O.S. 35's. Great suggestion.

RE: Engines for Hangar 9 Twin Otter
I wonder if two Saito 56's would work well or if weight would be a big issue. I already have one 56 so this would be a good alternative to the O.S. 35's if I can make it work.

Engines for Hangar 9 Twin Otter
I purchased a Hangar Twin Otter last year and I am finally at the stage of selecting power. I thought about getting the OS 35 AX's but the price is steep. I know that will probably be my best bet but they are a little steep in price for me. I have two 46 FX's that I was thinking about but I am not sure if they will be to heavy for the model. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

RE: How did YOU get your start in the hobby?
I got my start at the age of 5, not only in RC but aviation in general. My grandfather and grandmother would take me and my brother to airshows every year in Williamsport Pennsylvania. My grandfather was also a great builder who I had the pleasure to watch build many airplanes over the years. Static, rubber powered as well as RC, he built it all. I remember him building a third scale Flybaby bipe as well as junior and senior Falcons back in the early 80's. Before he passed in 2006, he built me a 1/4 scale Balsa USA Sopwith Pup which is still hanging in my mothers garage (I don't have the heart to fly it). I started flying RC in 2000 after I finally made enough money to support this hobby and I also started a career in aviation in 2004 working for a regional airline. Those early airshows are what really inspired a lifelong passion for aviation and not a day goes by that I do not feel a great sense of appreciation for what my grandfather instilled in me.
