| Twister Hawk set up
I recently bought my first beginners helicopter- a Twister Hawk. I poured through the manual whilst the battery was charging and would like to warn everyone who buys one that the reversing switch positions on the transmitter as listed in the manual on page 5 are incorrect. I followed these and because the throttle was reversed, I almost destroyed my heli in the first 5 minutes! Luckily I was in my garage and my heli hovered against the ceiling whilst I tried to grab its tail like catching a dragonfly!
The correct positions for Mode 1 transmitters is AIL and ELE down and THR and RUD up. I had to strip the machine completely and do some testing without the blades to fix the problem.
Apart from this, the Twister Hawk is a fabulous beginners helicopter and I had it hovering quite steady the next day! I would recommend it to anyone who is a beginner to this extremely addictive hobby!
