about the flyinG aRea
ReQuiRed
The Twister Medevac is designed primarily for indoor
use—or outdoors in flat calm conditions. A hard, 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.
about tRaininG,
cRaSheS & SpaRe paRtS
The Twister Medevac has been designed to be strong
and very easy to repair, however, the helicopter is not
invulnerable and most people will tip their helicopter
over or break parts during their flying career. This is
quite normal. 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. Crash damage is
not covered by warranty.
