TWISTER CHINOOK SKYLIFT Radio Controlled RC Electric Helicopter

The Twister Chinook Skylift is the worlds first ready-to-fly tandem rotor semi-scale radio controlled model helicopter giving a unique flight experience for newcomer and experienced pilot alike.

Easy To Fly !

Up until now Tandem Rotor RC Helicopters were considered difficult to fly and expensive, so they were therefore flown by experts only.

Amazingly, the Twister Chinook is actually EASIER to fly in hovering mode than normal helicopters ! Here are five reasons why :

1. The absence of a tail rotor means there is no fuselage swing on take-off, hence no need for the pilot to compensate with yaw control.
2. Similarly, climb-outs are smooth and straight for the same reason, and likewise descents as well.
3. Landings are easier and straighter.
4. Because there are TWO pairs of coaxial rotors you get double the stability that you would from a single coaxial rotor helicopter.
5. The long fuselage and widely spaced undercarriage makes for ultra-stable ground handling.

About The Flying Area Required

The Twister Chinook is designed primarily for indoor use, or outdoors in calm conditions. A flat surface clear of all obstacles with an area of around 400 square feet is the minimum recommended requirement. However, you should fly only where it is safe to do so.

Test-flown, Flight Guaranteed and Ready to Fly

The helicopter is designed by expert engineers and every model is assembled AND test-flown at the factory. It is strong and designed with numerous innovative safety and damage prevention features. The Twister Chinook uses the highest quality drive, power and control systems.

This really is one of the most fun-packed, unique models we have ever flown and we hope you will enjoy flying it as much as we have !

State-of-the-art electronics

FM 4 channel receiver, piezo gyro, electronic mixers and speed controllers PLUS a computer fail-safe, an LED system check, and a motor safe-start facility are amongst the many sophisticated control features built into the on-board systems.

Damage Prevention and Safety Systems

The Fail-Safe cuts power to the main motor in the event of transmitter failure while the safe-start only allows starting when the throttle stick and throttle trim are low, so there is no danger of connecting the flight battery and thereby inadvertently powering up the main rotors.

The integral LBW (Low Battery Warning) beacon helps prevent damage to your helicopter and lipo battery by flashing when it's time to land and recharge.

A revolutionary MOPS (Motor Overload Protection System) helps prevents damage to your motors & electronics by killing the motors automatically on blade-stalling tipovers—then automatically reenergising the system some seconds later.

Professional Transmitter Included

The transmitter has been designed for precision flying and features high quality stick units, convertible between Mode II (Throttle left) and Mode I (Throttle right). The transmitter incorporates full 4-function control via two dual axis control sticks, moulded ergonomic rear grips, carry handle, neckstrap hang point and a charging socket for the optional rechargeable transmitter batteries.

Flight Training Guide and DVD Included

Written and produced by experienced radio controlled helicopter pilots, a Basic Helicopter Flight Theory Guide, a Flight Training Guide and Flight Training DVD is included to help you successfully explore real radio controlled helicopter flying techniques.
