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!

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 to your transmitter and to your PC. Then when you're ready; simply disconnect the lead from the transmitter and use it to go flying for real!

First-timer friendly

The Twister Coastguard is simply a knockout first-time R/C helicopters and completely suited to people with no RC flying experience whatsoever. 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/MOP

The Twister Coast Guard was engineered with 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.

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 smoking speed controllers!

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 110 AC wall adapter are included. Charge time is around 1 hour.
