Overview

DHC-6 Twin Otter Canadian Yellow 1870mm (73.6") Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA-1004001

The De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, currently marketed as the Viking Air DHC-6 Twin Otter, is a Canadian 19-passenger STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) utility aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada and currently produced by Viking Air. The aircraft’s fixed tricycle undercarriage, STOL abilities, and high rate of climb have made it a successful cargo, regional passenger airliner and Medevac aircraft. In addition, the Twin Otter has been popular with commercial skydiving operations, and is used by the United States Army Parachute Team and the United States Air Force’s 98th Flying Training Squadron.

The Nexa DHC-6 Twin Otter is a .25 size electric scale series civilian utility aircraft with a 1870mm wingspan, constructed primarily from balsa wood and covered in a Canadian yellow, red and black livery. This ARF requires assembly and installation of your choice of servos and power system, and includes two piece wing with aluminum wing joiner, fiberglass cowl and spinner. A large battery tray provides ample space for any size battery you require. An optional float set is available for snow or water-based operations (not included).

    I would like to add 3 blade counter rotating propellers. I know how to reverse one of the motors but would a 10X7 3 blade,1 normal and 1 reverse be ok or what would you recommend? Thanks, T
    Answers (1)
    Motion R. 10/03/2024
    Hello Tony, You will need to check the current draw with a wattmeter to be sure the motors with 10 X 7 props are not drawing more current than the ESC can handle.

    Do the motors have to be configured counter-rotating? Is standard propeller and counter-turning propeller required?
    Answers (1)
    Motion R. 06/13/2024
    Hello Vinicio, You will require standard rotating and counter-rotating propellers. To reverse the direction of one motor simply swap any two of the three leads on the motor and it will reverse the direction.

    I purchased the Motion RC DHC-6 twin otter. The Mantis G2 65A ESC, also purchased from Motion as part of the bundle you offer does not have identification colors to connect to the motor. Motor does have colored leads. As a newbie, what are the correct connections' from the ESC to the motor? Thank you.
    Answers (1)
    Bob M. 08/29/2023
    Generally speaking you can connect any motor lead to any ESC lead on any motor/ESC combination, however I have found that with this particular ESC the connection affects the direction of rotation of the motor. So in assembly you should leave the mounting of the engine cowling pieces to the very last but go ahead and mount the propellers (you'll have to remove them later to put the front cowling on. Hook up the motors to the ESC's in any combination. Put the transmitter Throttle control to Full throttle position and power it up. Then power up the airplane the airplane and receiver, wait for the ESC's to stop beeping, then pull the Throttle closed. That process initiates the ESC's. Now hold the airplane and gently advance the throttle. If both propeller turn the correct direction all is good and you can shut it down, remove the propellers and put the engine cowlings on. If either or both propellers turn the wrong direction (run in reverse) then all you need to do is on the motor(s) that are running backwards, reverse any two of the motor to ESC connections and that will fix the problem. The ESC's that come with this airplane are actually programmable and can be set to reverse thrust for braking and ground manoeuvring on the low end of the throttle position. That's why it's possible to hook them up "backwards". The most common ESC's don't have this capability and can usually be plugged in in any combination and will run the right direction always. If you have other questions you can email me at bmikels@gmail.com.

    would a Admiral 3300mAh 6S 22.2V 30C LiPo Battery work or should I get a different battery or need a adapter I want to fly for a decent amount of time before needing to land, also would a tri-prop be better or does a dual prop work fine for water take/landing.

    Keith M. 05/16/2023
    That battery is too small, you won’t get much run time with that one. I disabled the Bec on both ESC’s and run two 3s 3200 batteries, one for each motor. I use just the standard two blade prop and they work fine.

    do the wings need to be 72.6" or can they be shorter?
    Answers (2)
    Anonymous 01/09/2023
    The wings are completely prebuilt, but they are removable and are expected to be attached at the field just before flying. They pilot onto a roughly 3/4 in. aluminum tube and then two short dowels at the root and are held in place by a large plastic thumbscrew at the wing root and a small socket head screw at the fuselage end of the strut.
    Ben S. 01/09/2023
    My position is I always go with the original design before I mess with it, especially with regard to wingspan. Then if you want to make serious alterations to the performance as you question, its your plane you can "kit bash" it however you want. While I've done such things as add flaps or spoilers to a plane that has none or make control surface alterations, etc, I seldom mess with the primary flying surfaces. You want to, it's your plane. Would I shorten the wings, no. Be well, good luck, and have fun - that's what it's all about, right?

    Beautiful plane, terrible manual

    I've seen bad manuals before but this is just about useless. If you have no experience building, find something else to be your first.

With twin 3550-960KV motors on 3S 5000mAh lipos, it flies in a scale manner with 6:00 minutes of flight time and plenty of reserve. It flies great off grass and water. The floats don't have a rudder so I used differential thrust and opposing motor rotations. I haven't tried 4S as there isn't a need. I'm impressed with NEXA.

Upon unboxing the kit, I found the quality to be reasonably good, but there have been numerous issues that needed to be corrected, or improved upon. The most notable one is the horizontal stabilizer, which if installed without modification, will be several degrees out of line with the main wing. This is evident in most of the videos you see of the aircraft and even though it will fly without the fix, it will fly so much better with the correct alignment. Next, the fuselage panels to which the front struts for the float set are to be attached is quite weak, so I reinforced the area with two layers of 1/8 ply, so if there happens to be the occasional hard landing, we won't be ripping out the sides of the plane. In terms of the ESCs, the 45A versions that the retailer recommends are too close to the limit and I actually had them swap them out for 65A units, which gives one a much greater margin of capacity. I've replaced all of the kit hardware for better quality, as I wasn't too impressed with what came with the kit. I also added cooling vents on the engine nacelles, as the cowls take in a lot of cool air, but there's not really any place for it to go. I added nice 3D printed pieces to vent the heated air that look very scale and add to not only the look of the plane, but it's overall performance and security while flying. Overall, a good kit, but taking a lot of extra time to improve it has paid huge dividends and will keep the plane in the air for many years to come. It does look amazing, once completed, especially on floats and having the luxury of a summer home on a lake, will see it in the air over the water very frequently.

I needed close to -100% of trim to give you an idea how much (which is probably 3mm of down elevator). With such a trim for flying full speed (65 mph) when you come for landing the trim is too much and it has big tendency to go down. In my opinion the angle of the wing is not correct. I have correct CG, and I tried experimenting with motor angles, and it did not help. Sure I can have flight modes and try to setup 2 different trims. I actually bought 2 of these airplanes to make sure the 2-nd one is done perfectly, now that I know what to look for based on the first one I assabmled. The first one required a lot of aileron trim, and less down elevator trim. By the way the wing angle is different between the two Twin Otters I have, when I try to put wing from Twin Otter 1 to my Twin Otter 2. This is my third Nexa model (C-47, Boanaza, Twin Otter), and the only one I liked is Bonanza. I would say you have 25% that Nexa airplane will fly well. I think I am done with NEXA (VQ models). I am using the recomended motors and propellers. I had to use two 3 cell 5000mAH LiPos in order to get correct CG. If you want to use one LiPo you will need to position it so much to the front, that you will need to build a LiPo table in the nose of the airplane, and you will need to remove the seets so you can strap the LiPo where the doors are.
