The Hawk's fullsize equivalent has for many years been saving lives around the globe. This model is a tribute to the brave pilots and crew who fly to help people in areas suffering Tsunami, earthquake and other natural disasters.
From the authentic oleo detail through to the canted 4-blade tail rotor, this beautifully crafted scale masterpiece sits so realistically in flight that you can almost feel the 'whump' of rotors and smell the exhaust haze!
Unmatched flight stability and amazing hovering stability of the Hawk makes other helicopters in this class seem twitchy by comparison. The staff at importers JP were completely knocked out by the 'planted' feel of the helicopter in all phases of flight - this is one helicopter that when you test fly, you'll fall head over heels for!
Stability-enhancing fuselage design The turbulence damping and stability-enhancing characteristics of this amazing fuselage have to be seen to be believed! It puts other micro helis to shame! Enhanced by the PEGS3 piezo gyro, the latest generation system electronics add to a flying experience that we believe is truly smoother and more realistic than any other micro helicopter out there!
Flight Simulator USB cable INCLUDED! Designed so that you can practice flying on the FREE FMS flight simulator first by using this lead connected between your transmitter and PC. Then when you're ready; disconnect the lead from the transmitter and use it to go flying for real!
First-timer friendly! Just like the hugely popular Twister Medevac, the Twister Hawk is simply a knockout first-time R/C helicopter and completely suited to people with no RC flying experience whatsoever.
This exceptionally pilot-friendly and accurate looking heli with class-leading handling is sure to impress, leaving more than a few chisel-jawed heli veterans lusting after a Hawk too! With everything included - transmitter, spare parts, USB flight simulator cable, training DVD - you'll be in the air more quickly and more confidently - with a better looking and a better performing model.
Unique damage prevention features! LBW - We've engineered in some helicopter-saving features that even experts will like, such as integral LBW; a low lipo battery warning system that activates a blue flashing beacon parked behind the main rotors when it's time to land and recharge. As any experienced electric flight pilot will tell you, it's just too easy to fly for a few seconds too long and knock a lipo cell out making it impossible to recharge your battery. MOPS The revolutionary MOPS (Motor Overload Protection System) helps prevent damage to your drive motors and speed controller by killing the motors automatically on blade-stopping tip-overs - then automatically re-energising the system some seconds later! So no more burnt out motors, batteries, and you can kiss goodbye to those bad ole' smokin' speed controllers! Reassuring for new pilots and comforting for experienced pilots. The Twister Bell 47 and Twister Medevac demonstrated nearly unbelievable stability and have become household words on the micro heli scene. The Twister Hawk adds to the pedigree, takes it to the next level AND packs more spares, more accessories and even more unbeatable features than ever before! State-of-the-art electronics in one package The new version '4-in-1' on-board electronics package includes 6 channel receiver, piezo gyro, electronic mixers and speed controllers PLUS a computer fail-safe, an LED system check, and a motor safe-start facility! Fail-safe and safe-start In addition to the amazing LBW and MOPS damage prevention 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 is low–so there is no danger of connecting the flight battery and inadvertently sending power instantly to the motors. Professional transmitter The transmitter has been designed for precision helicopter flying and features high quality, stick units, convertible between Mode II (throttle left) and Mode I (throttle right).The transmitter incorporates moulded ergonomic grips, metal adjustable sticks, USB Flight Simulator socket and a charging socket (for use with optional nicad batteries). High performance Li Poly battery and charger system Both a 12V automatic DC charger PLUS a 240 volt mains adaptor are included giving the option of charging from a 12 volt power source directly or 240 volt mains. Charge time is around 1 hour. Spares All spares are available through local model and hobby shops.
