Piper Seneca was once on my wishlist, finally I can get my hand on this type of aircraft. At first I already planned to make Piper Seminole but I thought its T-tail will bring a hard time to build. So to make simple but scale model I choose Seneca II and the end result is surprisingly easy to build. The wing is very similar than the Cherokee that I already built and flown. The performance also very similar to the Cherokee, but with more powerful thrust with twin motors. In this project also the first time I ever use motor for quad/ drone race.
