Default Twin engine building (?)

Hey everyone,

I am new to the forum but thought this would be a good place to start looking for some twin engine build resource sites. Basicaly I am interesting in learning about building a twin engine MT and would like to get some general information about it before making a decision whether I want to go ahead with this project. i.e. do they require specific types of engines and so on. Any information or links to sites with info on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Travis

Not too much info on twins but it seems relatively easy. I was gonna build a new twin, but am now looking to just build a new big single. Check new era models for a twin kit.

Depending on the kit used for the mod, it could simple or as some people found out it could be a long project. What kit were you thinking about using for this conversion.. More infomation ill be able to help you find more things out.

I haven't actualy picked out a kit yet, I am still in the learning phase and plan on making a decision as I get more info on what goes into building one. One of the first questions I have is, does it take specific types of twin engines or can a person use any model of nitro engine? (of course I understand they have to be the same engines)
