Twin Otter RC?

I'm new to the RC hobby, and for my first plane, I kind of wanted to make/buy a DHC Twin Otter. Anyone know of a company making these?

FYI, I wrote a book where a Twin Otter plays a role, so I sort of have an attachment to these, and as long as I'm putting the money out, I might as well get something I'm interested in, eh?

Thanks in advance.

Sure nothing wrong with building your dream model airplane, but save yourself a lot of grief by flying trainer aircraft first. If you're interested in electric flyers, here are some suggestions: http://beginnerparkflyers.nexuswebs.net/index.html

One popular electric twin is the Multiplex TwinStar http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?& I=LXEXU5&P=ML

Electric Twin Otter Plans

On 5/18/2004 1:41 PM Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge:

The Twin Otter is a nice plane, but it is not for a beginner. It SHOULD make a nice 3rd plane though.

IMHO, the best way to go is find a club and get an instructor (the clubs provide instructors at no charge), see what the instructor suggests for a plane, engine, radio, etc. and learn to fly. Once you have mastered both high and low wing planes (and taildraggers), then get your Twin
Otter. By then you will have a much better idea of what is involved and whether or not you want to go with glo or electric.

Thanks for all the advice. I like the Twin Otter from RT Models, but I think ya'll are right, I need a training model first. I have a fairly good instructor in my brother-in-law, who's been in this hobby for a while. But he seems to wreck the planes more than fly them. Although, when it's not your plane, the wrecks are more exciting to watch than the flights, in a twisted sort of way
