Twister Coastguard Helicopter

Twister Coastguard Helicopter

 

Glow Cars - RC model cars from Model Flight - Check out the tamiya and thunder tiger range of radio controlled RC petrol (glow) and electric model cars onlineClick Here to Order

Unmatched knock-me-down-with-a-feather flight stability!

The amazing hovering stability of the Hawk and Coastguard makes other helicopters in this class seem twitchy by comparison.
The test pilots and staff at JP were completely knocked out by the totally '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!

Twister Coastguard Helicopter

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!

Twister Coastguard Helicopter

Flight Simulator USB cable INCLUDED

Designed so that you can practice flying on the FREE FMS flight simulator first by using this lead connected to your transmitter and to yor PC. Then when you're ready; simply 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 Coastguard is simply a knockout first-time R/C helicopters and completely suited to people with no RC flying experience whatsoever. We think that with it’s exceptional looks and class-leading handling there'll more than a few chisel-jawed heli veterans lusting after a Coastguard 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.

Twister Coastguard Helicopter

Unique damage prevention features - 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 Coastguard 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!

Twister Coastguard Helicopter

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. 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.

Mode 1 vs Mode 2 Transmitters

 
Transmitter Stick Configurations:

Mode 1 - Throttle and Aileron Control on the Right Stick, Elevator and Rudder on the Left Stick.
This is predominantly used in Australia and Europe.

Mode 2 - Elevator and Aileron on the Right Stick, Throttle and Rudder on the Left Stick.
This is predominantly used in the United States.

There is no clear benefit to each configuration as everyone’s use and preference is different. Mostly it comes down to your friends and what they are already using so they can help you if required. A Mode 2 user cannot easily teach a Mode 1 flyer.
