The DHC-6 Twin Otter, developed by de Havilland Canada in 1965, is a legendary STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) aircraft known for its rugged reliability in the harshest environments—from the icy Antarctic to the arid North African deserts. Celebrated for its versatility and performance, the Twin Otter has become an aviation icon for over six decades.
Now, E-flite brings this legend to life in a 1.4m scale model, designed to deliver an unmatched flying experience for intermediate to experienced RC pilots. Whether you're stepping into twin-powered flight for the first time or adding a capable utility aircraft to your fleet, the Twin Otter 1.4m is the ideal choice—offering scale realism, functional features, and incredible handling.
At Aerobertics, we believe in offering models that go beyond expectations. The Twin Otter 1.4m embodies everything we look for in a model aircraft: performance, detail, ease of use, and quality construction.
Key Features
True-to-Scale Design: Accurate replica of the iconic STOL commuter and cargo aircraft, complete with molded-in panel lines and corrugated control surfaces.
Impressive Size & Convenience: A larger alternative to 1.2m models, yet easy to transport and fly at a variety of locations including parks, fields, and lakes.
Functional Scale Features: Factory-installed LED navigation and landing lights, operational flaps, and steerable nose wheel with a durable metal-geared servo.
Versatile Power System: Equipped with two brushless Spektrum outrunner motors and a Dual Avian Smart Lite 25A ESC, compatible with both 3S and 4S LiPo batteries.
Differential Thrust & Motor Reversing: For improved ground handling and advanced flight characteristics.
Float-Ready Design: Easily convertible for water takeoffs and landings using optional float set (compatible with Timber 1.2m/1.5m models).
Uniquely Capable
Differential thrust and optional-use motor/thrust reversing (standard on the BNF Basic version; Smart-compatible receiver required for the PNP version) offer improved ground handling for easier taxiing, takeoffs and landings, along with the ability to perform special aerobatic maneuvers. Both features are also extremely helpful when flying from water using the optional floats that are sold separately or in a money-saving combo (the same floats also used for popular Timber 1.2m and 1.5m models).
3S and 4S Compatible
The factory-installed twin brushless power system features a 25-amp Spektrum Avian Dual Smart Lite ESC plus specially-tuned motors that deliver an abundance of thrust with a single 3S 2200–3200mAh LiPo battery. Or you can install a 4S battery for even more power and unlimited vertical capability without needing any modifications or upgrades!
Easy Assembly
No glue or specials tools are required for final assembly so you can have the Twin Otter 1.4m ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! And although it's conveniently sized to fit fully assembled in almost any vehicle, you can remove the two-piece wing with hands-free connections for easier storage and transport.
More Durable
The lightweight yet durable EPO airframe is composite reinforced for added strength. It features a stronger and easier to repair/service nose wheel along with a more durable digital and metal-geared servo for steering/rudder control.
