CRASHES & SPARE PARTS
The Twister CP V2.1 has been designed to be strong and very easy to repair, however, the helicopter is not
invulnerable and most people will tip their Twister CP V2.1 over or break parts during their flying career.
This is quite normal. Crash damage is not covered by warranty.
All parts are available as spares from your supplier. Study the exploded view of the helicopter carefully to
understand the relationship between parts and how to replace them if necessary.
DVD–IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Transmitter mode–Please note that the Instructional Flight DVD included with this helicopter shows use of
a MODE 1 transmitter–a different transmitter setup to the mode II transmitter supplied. A mode I transmitter
has throttle and roll on the right stick. In the UK, most pilots fly mode II, throttle and tail rotor on the left
hand stick, cyclic on the right stick.
Aerial deployment–contrary to the video, please ensure your receiver aerial is COMPLETELY unwrapped
from the skid as per this manual.
