With the new 3D aerobatic electric glider TWISTY, you can have a lot of fun on flat terrain and on slopes. The glider not only has large control surfaces, as is common with 3D models. It not only has a fully movable elevator, but for perfect maneuverability, it even rotates the entire wing halves. TWISTY feels at home on mountain slopes, over sea cliffs, or dunes, where it can really unleash its power in strong, steady winds. To ensure you can also enjoy it where the hills are not so high and the wind is only light, we have installed a powerful brushless motor with a folding propeller.

The fuselage of the model is made of highly durable EPO foam (extruded polyolefin) with fixed internal carbon fiber reinforcements. A C2820-1450 brushless motor with a 7x6" folding propeller and a KAVAN R-20SB Plus controller are installed in the nose. The canopy is removable and is secured at the front with a pin and at the rear with a mechanical latch. In the nose, you will find enough space for a drive battery and a receiver. In the space under the wing, micro servos with metal gears for controlling the wing halves, rudder, and elevator are housed. The tail units are controlled via Bowden cables, and the wing halves via adjustable linkages with ball joints.

The wing of the model, made of EPO foam, consists of two carbon fiber reinforced parts. The wing halves are attached to the carbon fiber tube connector and secured with screws. They are independently controlled by two servos with short, straight wire linkages. To facilitate the adjustment of the neutral position, triangular markings on the fuselage indicate the center position of the trailing edge.

The tail units are also made of EPO foam with carbon fiber reinforcements. There is a fully movable elevator. The halves are attached to the carbon fiber tube connector and secured with screws. To facilitate the adjustment of the neutral position, triangular markings on the fuselage indicate the center position of the leading edge of the elevator.

The model is powered by the C2820-1450 brushless motor with the 20 A KAVAN R-20SB Plus controller.

For power supply, you need a 3-cell LiPo pack with a capacity of approx. 1300 mAh and a minimum discharge rate of 30C. Choose a specific type so that the correct center of gravity is maintained as well as possible without additional ballast.

To control the model, you need at least a 6-channel computer RC set that allows independent control of the wing halves (ailerons) by two servos. To increase maneuverability ("sharper" turns), it features an elevator -> flaperon mix. The instructions naturally also include a detailed table with a proven standard setting for control surface deflections (including mix), so you can easily prepare Twisty for its maiden flight.

The ARF set includes:

• the finished fuselage, wings, and tail units made of EPO foam
• built-in motor, propeller, controller, and 4 servos
• instructions
