Twister CP Gold
INTRODUCTION
About the Twister CP Gold
The Twister CP Gold is designed as the next
step up for pilots who have mastered co-axial
helicopters. It is fully aerobatic and capable of
3D manoeuvres without the need for upgrades.
The Twister CP Gold’s state of the art 120
degree CCPM control system ensures precise
control. This control system combined with
carbon fibre main rotor blades, gives the Twister
CP Gold its stable flight characteristics.
The high performance, low current draw Ultra
Cobalt brushed motor, powers the Twister CP
Gold 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 CP Gold comes assembled with
four EnErg S7.5 servos installed along with a
Twister 6 channel FM computer radio with 4
model memories. A Cyclone Ultra Cobalt
brushed motor, Twister 20 amp speed controller
and a Twister HL400 tail lock gyro are also fully
installed at the factory.
Spare Parts
Spare parts are readily available through your
local hobby retailer. Use the exploded diagram
and parts list in this manual to assist you in
ordering the correct parts.
New to R/C Helicopter Flying?
While the Twister CP Gold is designed as the
next step up for pilots from co-axial helicopters,
we would recommend, however, that you seek
some advice from an experienced helicopter
pilot for the initial flights.
Features such as ‘Collective Pitch’ and ‘CCPM’
will be unfamiliar to the helicopter pilot who has
only flown co-axial (twin rotor) helicopters.
Collective Pitch, although more complex than
Fixed Pitch designs, is what gives the CP Gold
its stability and aerobatic ability.
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
