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 fi bre main
rotor blades, gives the Twister CP Gold its stable
fl ight 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, fl ight
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, 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. You need to add your own TX & RX
system.
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.
NEVER FLOWN? PLEASE READ...
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 fl ights.
Features such as ‘Collective Pitch’ and ‘CCPM’ will
be unfamiliar to the helicopter pilot who has only
fl own 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 fl ight the main rotor blades can approach
2000rpm, therefore never fl y closer than 5 metres
and never fl y your model at head height.
In the UK, please observe the principles of safety
as outlined by the governing body for model fl ying,
the British Model Flying Association (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
