Here comes the datas :  This sweet bipe is one of the three last creation from the very well known german brand : Multiplex... www.multiplex-rc.de/The Gemini is fully made with Elapor. Elapor is improved EPP and trade mark by Multiplex. Multiplex also comes with a beautiful 2.6m. glider (the Cularis) and a EP ducted fan jet (The Twister). All these models are made of Elapor... You may find vids of the Gemini here : www.youtube.com/watch?v=adrQYFkV794www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U-4_kXthu4All kits are very easy to build... The Gemini is told to be an easy model to fly according to the guys who already tried the beast. IMO it's the best plane to have once you're comfortable with the SC. Within my Gemini I've installed a 300 W brushless motor with a 3s 2200 20 c battery. 4 nano S servos. A 40 Amp ESC. I didn't like the blue decal sheet stuff so I inspired myself from the Jungmann biplan : www.hiboox.com/lang-fr/image.php?img=8hsbdcdp.jpgAny other questions feel free to ask... Cheers Raspa |

Hey Raspa. I have just got the Gemini I am hoping to make use of my E flight 480 and 3s 1800 FP lipos. The way this model is packed in the box is a piece of art in itself. This is my first Multiplex model, but i have been following the threads on there other models and I'm sure i will add a couple more to the hangar in the future. ( Easystar & Acromaster) I will post a few pics of the Gemini later. |

Nice job SCC.  When is it supposed to have maiden flight ? I had a sad experience with my Gemini on saturday. During take off the motor axis broke. The bipe came to stall speed in seconds. It crashed without I could do anything about it  Not much damages though : took me ten minutes to change motor and glue the wings together. It's ready to fly again ..........when the weather will change to something that looks like summer : it's freezing and windy like hell here. Luckily I also took my good old SC to the field with me. I enjoyed two hours of flight with 4x2000mah lipo and this powerful brushless I installed in the sc. Take off with 60° angle and climb up to the sky with no limit else than my eyes and the tx range ;D. When at secure altitude I have vertical climbs up to 40m before the motor says "enough". d**n I couldn't go back to a brushed motor...  Happy flights to all. Raspa |

Hi Raspa. Sorry to hear about your motor problem. What do you mean "motor axis broke" Hope to get mine in the air this week. Weather is nice and sunny, just a little too much wind at the moment. |
