The Twister Medevac pays homage to the pilots and crew of the Medevac helicopters that were used for the first time in 1945 to airlift wounded soldiers from front-line positions to hospitals away from the WWII battlefields. Later, several helicopter types were used as Medevac machines during the Korean war with the distinctive Bell 47/H13 taking the lead role in both real life, film and also in people's imagination. Twin stretchers were fitted atop each landing skid so that a pilot could carry two wounded soldiers to safety. Small plastic bubbles were fitted over the front of the stretchers to protect the wounded from further trauma during flight. The distinctive plastic bubble canopy and 'chop-chop' sound footprint on approach along with the stoic bravery of the pilots who flew them have helped to build the well-deserved admiration that so many around the world still feel for this evocative little aircraft and for the brave airmen who operated them. Literally they were 'Born to Save'. And they did.

Unique Damage Prevention Features
LBW We've engineered in 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 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.
MOPS 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 bad ole' smokin' speed controllers! Reassuring for new pilots and comforting for experienced pilots.

Fail-safe and safe-start
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.

.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!
