PREPARING FOR FLIGHT
1. UNPACKING YOUR TWISTER CP
V2.1
▼
1. Carefully remove the model and other items
from the packaging.
▼
2. Screw the transmitter aerial into its socket
in the top of the transmitter.
▼
3. Insert the 8 supplied AA batteries into the
transmitter battery compartment being
careful to observe battery polarity.
▼
4. Unwrap the receiver aerial ENTIRELY from
its stowed location around the right side
undercarriage
(and feed into the aerial
tidy to prevent it from being caught in the
blades).
Do NOT tape it to any helicopter
components as this may cause interference.
WARNING!
RC flight is achieved through low power RF
transmissions and is susceptible to interference.
The carbon and metal parts in a helicopter create
potential interference hazards for your receiver,
therefore it is important to route the receiver aerial
directly away from the helicopter and away from
interference hazards.
Useful tip ........................... Although the T
wister CP
V2.1 is very strong and includes many carbon fibre
parts, all model helicopters require careful handling
and a delicate touch when setting up for flight or
during maintenance. In particular, take great care
with the electrical connections to and from the '4-
in-1' control unit.
2. CHARGING THE FLIGHT BATTERY
The Li-Po charger supplied is designed to
automatically charge and balance the 11.1V Li-Po
battery from the 240V mains power supply included
in the kit or a 12V DC source such as a gel cell
battery (JP No. 5510050 12V 7Ah - Not included).
Connect the charger to your power source and
the Li-po battery to the charger using the white
polarised multi-pin connector.
Follow the instructions on the front of the charger to
charge the battery.
WARNING!
Li-poly batteries can be dangerous!
Please take time to read the procedures outlined in
the supplemental instructions for charging Lithium
Polymer batteries.
The charger is designed to cut off when full
capacity is reached.
Under no circumstance must a battery be left
charging unattended!
3. FITTING THE FLIGHT BATTERY
▼
1. Place the charged battery pack onto the
battery holder using Velcro supplied and
secure in place with rubber bands.
Do not connect to the RC equipment!
