Here are my review notes for the E-flite Twin Prop RC Cargo Plane:

Pros:
- Lots of lights
- Functional cargo door for a ton of fun!
- Flaps
- Potential full-span ailerons or extended flaps.
- 3 or 4S power options with a number of different battery options
- Removable main wings
- Snap off horizontal stabilizers
- FPV option in the top of the canopy
- The black nose piece pops off and is designed to fit a GoPro in the nose!

Cons:
- The right main wing was more challenging to take off and on than I had anticipated. It should get better with time.
- The big heavy props use collets to secure them, so extra attention is required to put them on well. Again, it wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated.
- The control surfaces and trim were out if whack, but are fixed fairly easily.

How Horizon Hobby describes this RC Cargo Airplane:

"The E-flite EC-1500 Twin is a groundbreaking design that offers a unique flight experience for a wide range of pilots. This twin/multi-motor model carries echoes of full-scale civil and military cargo transport aircraft, but it has an incredible range of capabilities and options that no other RC airplane can match. Featuring 3S and 4S compatible power systems with custom 5-blade counter-rotating props, the EC-1500's flight envelope encompasses everything from slow and scale-like, to sport flying and even aggressive 3D aerobatic capabilities! You can fly from paved, grass and dirt surfaces; from snow with the included optional-use skis; or from water using the optional float set (sold separately). It also includes factory-installed LED lights, a functional cargo door, plus decals to customize the finish with Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy and other markings.

The E-flite EC-1500 Twin features an all-new, ground-up design optimized for capability, versatility and FUN to deliver a flying experience you simply can't get with any other airplane! It's effectively many airplanes in one, with a wide flight envelope that includes slow and scale-like, to sport flying and even aggressive 3D aerobatic capability.

The twin power systems feature brushless outrunner motors, robust ESCs, and custom five-blade counter-rotating propellers. This setup delivers excellent performance with a 3S 3200–6400mAh LiPo battery, or you can install a 4S battery for the power to hover and unlimited vertical capability — without modifications or upgrades! There are eight factory-installed servos, including one to operate the functional cargo door so you can carry and drop creative payloads from the large cargo bay. Realistic looking LED landing, navigation and simulated strobe lights are powered from the flight battery so you can fly from dawn until dusk — from paved, grass, or dirt surfaces; off snow using the included skis; or from large ponds or lakes using optional floats (sold separately).

Remove the magnetically secured nose cone to install a GoPro or similar camera for recording aerial HD footage, or mount a separate FPV camera on the large top hatch (cameras and camera gear sold separately). Plus you can use the included decals to customize the scale-inspired trim scheme with Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy and other markings to personalize your model."

Some people think of this more as an E-flite C-130 Cargo Plane, yet other think of it more as an E-flite C-27 Cargo Plane. Either way, I am excited to fly it!
