introdUction
Thank you for purchasing Twister 2.4GHz computer
radio control system. It is designed for remotely
operating R/C model aircraft safely in the easiest
possible manner without the need for crystals.
It’s uncomplicated yet sophisticated design makes
it an ideal first system or a general purpose sport
system for R/C modelling.
It uses state-of-the-art computer technology
to bind it’s transmitter and receiver in such a
fashion that, under most model flying conditions,
interference that would normally cause loss of
control in 35MHz or 27MHz equipment is nearly
always rejected—and in most cases radio
functionality is entirely unaffected. This makes for
a safer, more reassuring flying experience.
It also enables a pilot to turn up, switch on and
fly under most conditions—subject to local flying
guidelines and rules.

WARNING!
This equipment must be assembled carefully
into an appropriate R/C aircraft according to the
manufacturers’ recommendations.
Note that Twister 2.4GHz computer radio is not
a ‘full range’ system and must only be used with
small Park Flyer/ helicopter R/C models operated
at relatively short range (around 150 metres).
This product is a sophisticated control system for
model aircraft and is not a toy. Suitable only for
persons aged 14+
Check all radio equipment carefully before use
and range check before every flight.
Never fly near people, animals, buildings, power
lines, water or trees.
Ensure that all batteries are either fresh (if
alkaline) or charged (if rechargeable) before
using this equipment.
In the UK we recommend you observe BMFA
safety codes at all times when operating radio
controlled models.
This equipment is designed to be installed
and used only within a radio control hobby
environment.
2.4GHz signals are less tolerant of obstacles so
never fly close to structures, trees, hedges which
if flown behind may cause a temporary loss of
signal.
Never fly in rain.
UK air laW, Bmfa & safEty
All model aircraft operated in the UK are subject
to UK Air Law. It should be noted that in the UK
a considerable burden of responsibility and a
strict duty of care lie with the pilot of any model
aircraft. Under UK Air Law the pilot assumes all
responsibility for his aircraft.
Radio control model aircraft are potentially
capable of inflicting severe personal injury or
even death to people or animals and can cause
considerable damage to property if operated
incorrectly or irresponsibly.
In the UK, the British Model Flying Association
(BMFA) (http://www.bmfa.org) is responsible for
overseeing all aspects of model flying.
If you are new to R/C modelling we strongly
recommend you download the BMFA handbook
(http://www.bmfa.org/handbook/index.html) which
contains much useful information about model
flying including legal, insurance, safety obligations
and technical recommendations for model pilots.
not What yoU ExpEctEd?
If the information presented in the preceding
paragraphs and opposite is not what you expected
and you either cannot or choose not to accept
the responsibilities associated with operating this
equipment in a model in the UK, you should not buy
this product.
In the event you have already purchased this
product; you should return the product in it’s
original condition and obtain a refund from your
supplier.
