Twister (RC Airplane)

Turbine-powered model aircraft are steadily gaining in popularity, but many modellers are not prepared to pay the price of a small car to get one into the air.
The Twister is of ELAPOR® foam construction, and gives you all the “turbine” fun you could desire for little more than pocketmoney. Smooth high-speed fl ying, as befi ts the model
type, broad jet-style aerobatics and attractive looks - these are the Twister’s outstanding features.
Safe hand-launching characteristics were an important requirement at the design stage. This is a characteristic which can by no means be taken for
g r a n t e d with EDF (electric ducted fan) models, but we have achieved excellent results by combining a low wing loading with a careful choice of wing section.

Although the Twister’s fl ying characteristics are docile and the landing speed is low, the model is only suitable for pilots with some experience of similar models.
