introduction
The SkyLift is the worlds first ready-to-fly (RTF)
tandem rotor semi-scale helicopter giving a
unique flight experience for newcomer and
experienced pilot alike. Up until now tandem rotor
R/C helicopters were considered difficult to fly and
expensive—they were therefore flown by experts
only.
Amazingly, the Twister SkyLift is 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 too!
3/ Landings are easier and straighter too!
4/ In addition, because there are TWO pairs of
coaxial rotors you get double the stability that you
would from a single coaxal rotor helicopter!
5/ The long fuselage and widely spaced
undercarriage makes for ultra-stable ground-
handling.
It almost hovers by itself!
The tandem coaxial rotor system and ingenious
design of this helicopter make RC helicopter flight
accessible and practical for the majority of people
wanting to fly!
The Twister SkyLift demonstrates remarkable
hovering stability and will help guide pilots into
successful flight in the shortest possible time.
Test-flown, Flight Guaranteed and Ready to Fly!
The Twister SkyLift is ready to fly and is designed
for use indoors and outdoors (in still/calm
conditions) in an adequate and safe space. 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 SkyLift 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
The '3-in-1' on-board electronics package includes
piezo gyro, electronic mixers and speed controllers
PLUS an LED system check, and a motor safe-start
facility.
Damage prevention and safe-start 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.
Integral LBW (Low Battery Warning) beacon
helps prevent damage to your helicopter &
lipo battery by flashing when it's time to land &
recharge!
Revolutionary MOPS (Motor Overload Protection
System)
helps prevents damage to your motors &
electronics by killing the motors automatically on
blade-stalling tipovers—then automatically re-
energising the system some seconds later!
Professional Planet 5 2.4GHz R/C included
The transmitter and receiver have been designed
for precision helicopter and aircraft flying and
feature Adanced 2.4GHz control and high quality
adjustable height 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 and a 5th function
for lights/retracts, etc, socket for an optional Flight
Simulator cable set, reversing switches, moulded
ergonomic rear and side grips, carry handle,
neckstrap hang point and a charging socket
(for charging optional rechargeable transmitter
batteries).
Flight Simulator USB cable set included
Practice helicopter flying using the included
transmitter connected to your Windows PC before
flying for real!
Spares
All spare parts are available for the Twister SkyLift
and can be purchased through model and hobby
outlets. Some FREE spares are included which will
help you through your learning phase.
neW to r/c helis?
The model is not a toy and requires careful
preparation before flight. If you are new to RC
helicopters, please do not expect to be able to open
the box and immediately 'fly around'. RC helicopters
are fun to fly but require a little time and training in
order to be flown successfully.
Flight Training Guide and DVD included!
In the DVD and manual we have included sections
on Basic Helicopter Flight Theory as well as a
Flight Training Guide—written and produced by
experienced RC model helicopter pilots.
Virtually everyone should be able to fly this model
using what is supplied in the box!
We hope you enjoy flying the worlds
FIRST-EVER RTF TANDEM ROTOR R/C helicopter!
