INTRODUCTION

About the Twister 3D Storm
The Twister 3D Storm is designed to fly
aerobatic and 3D manoeuvres using the latest
generation brushless motors and lithium
polymer battery packs and without the need for
upgrades.
The Twister 3D Storm's state of the art 120
degree CCPM control system ensures 'slop free'
control. This control system combined with car-
bon fibre main rotor blades, gives the Twister
3D Storm its precise flight characteristics.
The high performance yet efficient Cyclone 440
Turbo brushless motor, powers the Twister 3D
Storm through aerobatics with ease. The use of
high quality ball races throughout the helicopter
and the belt driven tail drive system, not only
ensures smooth operation, but by reducing
friction, flight times increase as a result of the
lower current draw.
Factory Assembled
The Twister 3D Storm comes assembled with
four EnErg S7.5 servos installed and pushrods
connected. Also factory installed is the Cyclone
440 Turbo brushless motor and a Twister HL400
tail lock gyro.
Spare Parts
Spare parts are readily available through you
local hobby retailer. Use the exploded diagram
and parts list in this manual to assist you in
ordering the correct parts.
Additional Equipment Required
To ready your Twister 3D Storm for flight you
will require a 6 channel radio control transmitter
with CCPM mixing functions along with a 6
channel receiver.
Various tools such as cross head screwdrivers
and Allen keys will also be required for different
stages of the final assembly.
New to R/C Helicopter Flying?
The Twister 3D Storm is for accomplished R/C
helicopter pilots.
If you are new to R/C helicopter flying, we would
recommend starting with one of the easier to fly
members of the Twister family of helicopters
before progressing to the Twister 3D Storm.
Safety
Radio Control Models are not toys and serious
injury to persons or damage to property can
result if not used in a responsible manner.
In flight the main rotor blades can approach
2000rpm, therefore never fly closer than 5
metres and never fly your model at head height.
In the UK, please observe the principles of
safety as outlined by the governing body for
model flying, the British Model Flying Associa-
tion (BMFA). www.bmfa.org
In Australia, please observe the guidelines for
the safe operation of radio control models as
outlined by the Model Aircraft Association of
Australia (MAAA). www.maaa.asn.au
