Twister Mini Quad : o )

[bunnygirl80]

I';ve recently purchased a Twister Mini Quad. It';s a superb little piece of kit for learning. You can even fly it outdoors. It';s available in mode 1 and 2 and the best thing is, its only £45.

There is no setting up required and four modes from beginner to aerobatic where you can do flips!

If you want to add a little panache'; you can always go hunting around Tesco';s for a clear yoghurt pot for a new authentic proper quad look! 

Have fun, highly recommended!

Hi Marty,

Do you have any pictures or links which might be useful for others? I must admit I haven';t heard of that one. I only really bought it due to it';s sub £50 cost. Would love to see what yours looks like.

I';m thinking about getting one, my Hubsan is mode 2, I fly Planes and my 450 quad mode 1 so have to think when I';m flying quads - I can';t seem to find anyone selling the Twister mode 1 but can get the MQx bnf to go on my dx6i - it';s a bit of a quandry!
I am naturally ambidextrous so it does help but sometimes brain/thumbs co-ordination is less than perfect!

Convert it to mode 1 then

The only hard bit will be the spring on the stick but if like me you fly finger and thumb and actually hold your stick properly then it won';t be an issue.

I got mine from Steve Webbs if that helps. They did have a few in stock at the time!

Yes I';ve tried that the electronic bit is ok to do but the mechanical bit ..ie unsoidering the sticks from the board would be a problem...ask me how I know !!!

Hi Darrel,

Oh! Super. Let us know what you think and how you get on. I was surprised today as I saw a Twister being flown outside. It seemed quite manageable and something i didn';t previously consider.

Twister arrived and maidened tonight in my lounge - have to say it';s a bit big for in the house but not impossible!
You get a lot of model for your money with this but I think the Hubsan is perhaps better built, time will tell. Will report again when I';ve had a better play with it!

Hi, how are you all getting on with the twister.

I have the mqx, my 4 year old son has had a go today with it, its his birthday in a couple of weeks so I was thinking of getting him a twister quad as they are half the price of the mqx.

Getting on fine with mine, excellent value for money - but don';t buy any of the standard batteries for it £8.99 each from most model shops - £1.75 each from Hobby King UK warehouse 1S 600 mah and a better C rating, more punchy. But be careful they foul the standard canopy - get a clear yoghourt pot like Stef, much better!

Defo value for money, I payed nearly 100 for a bnf mqx quad.

Looks like they use the same battery as the mqx, if they do I already will have a few batteries.

Thanks mark.
