Twinstar Love: Pt. 2

 
Having passed my end of SE Phase flight test i've now been let loose with one of these. Basically bigger, faster and a whole lot more expensive. Roughly £500,000 once all the gizmos are paid for so i'm trying not to break anything with my gigantor uncoordination. It's a whole lot of fun to fly but it is a whole step up from anything i've flown before. Most noticeably it has two engines (Mercedes A Class 1.7 diesels for those of you so inclined). It is the first aircraft of it's type to operate using diesel engines and as such it has a couple of quirks. Best of the bunch though is the fact that unlike most aircraft if this one has a total electrical failure then both engines stop and you fall out of the sky. Great... Posted by Picasa
