the matching connector on the battery as
shown.
Make sure that you are well clear of the main and
tail rotors and the throttle stick and trim are at the
lowest position.
Do not move the helicopter for a few seconds. This
allows the gyro to initialize.
The tail servo will twitch and the indicator
light on the gyro will illuminate when the
gyro is armed.
NOTE - always disconnect the helicopter battery
before turning off the transmitter
WARNING!
Keep hands, clothing, eyes, animals and children
well clear when connecting power to this model
and when flying it!
8. range check
Check that the controls operate without any
interference at a minimum distance of 50
metres.
N.B If you fly further than 50 metres away you
should range check beyond 50 metres.
9. control check
Aileron (roll cyclic) control
View the helicopter from behind and move
the aileron stick (roll cyclic) left and right.
This the right hand stick on both Mode 1
and Mode 2 transmitters. The swash plate
of the helicopter should match the stick
movements e.g. the swash plate will tilt right
with the stick moved to the right.
Should the swash plate move on the
opposite direction, this function will need to
be reversed. Refer to the Twister R/C radio
instructions.
Elevator (fore & aft cyclic) control
Now move the elevator stick (fore & aft
cyclic). This is the left stick on a Mode 1
transmitter and right hand stick on a Mode
2 transmitter. When the stick is pushed
forward, the swash plate should tilt forward.
Should the swash plate move in the
opposite direction, again refer to the radio
instructions on reversing this function.
Rudder (yaw) control
Move the rudder stick left and right. This is
the left hand stick on both Mode 1 and Mode
2 transmitters and check the direction of the
tail rotors.
Left rudder applied
Right rudder applied
Throttle Control
Slowly move the throttle stick forward. Right
hand stick on Mode 1 and left hand stick on
Mode 2 transmitters.
Move the stick until the main rotor blades
begin to rotate slowly and then throttle back.
Your Twister Storm 3DX is now ready for
flight.

3D/iDle up Switch
The 3D/Idle Up switch on the transmitter is used
when performing advanced aerobatic manoeuvres.
When the switch is activated (pulled forward), a
new throttle curve and pitch curve is applied.
With Idle Up on, collective pitch travel is increased
at low stick, whilst at the same time, power is never
allowed to fall below 60% over the lower half of the
throttle stick travel.
3D/Idle Up Switch
The effect of Idle Up is to provide high power at low
stick positions thus providing a constant rotor speed
during aerobatic manoeuvres.
WARNING!
Do not use the 3D/Idle Up switch unless you are an
experienced RC helicopter pilot.
