Why Is a Cargo Plane Doing 3D Aerobatics?!

This might be the most amazing RC airplane I have ever flown. The Flex Innovations TWIN OTTER 80E G1.5 SUPER PNP is a plane that's supposed to haul cargo and drop skydivers... instead it does flat spins, frisbees, pinwheels, knife-edge passes, and flies so slow it looks like it's walking through the air. It shouldn't be possible… and honestly? I'm in love. This might be the only plane I need. This is the Night version G1.5... with a MASSIVE 90-inch wingspan (I literally couldn't stand it up in my basement). It's a full upgrade over the original: new counter-rotating Dualsky 3520 510Kv motors (goodbye Potenza bearing issues), dual HobbyWing 60A ESCs, a fresh color scheme, completely resurfaced foam molds for a premium finish, hinge backers throughout, thicker ABS windows, and stronger cowlings. It runs the Aura 8 AFCS — dialed in by Quique himself... with differential thrust, yaw motor gain, Live-Wing, and Crow, all pre-programmed so it flies flawlessly right out of the box. Plus the new wireless Aura Link app lets you tune it from your phone at the field. Twin 14×6 wood props, single 6S (5200–6200mAh), 5–7 min flights, full LED night lighting (and optional light-up floats). Calm Sunday scale flying or full-send 3D aerobatics — this thing does it ALL.
