Differential thrust is easy when working with seperate speed controllers or IC engines if you have a computer radio -- you just tie in throttle and rudder when a switch is set (don't want this in the air....)

Throttle up and back each engine appropriately for the rudder input. For IC engines, add additional throttle only. Opposite engine for rudder input I believe.

I originally was only getting a balsa short kit from Scott Douglas, but have decidet that for the Float version i will make the Twin Otter out of Foam. asoon the Foam One is in the Air i will get onto the Balsa Twin Otter with the ling nose..
