Keep it real — fly scale. The Twister MD 500 brings genuine scale helicopter looks to one of the most beginner-friendly platforms on the market, wrapping an accurate 1:48 MD 500 fuselage in the same revolutionary flight stabilisation system as Twister's highly acclaimed Ninja 250 and BO-105. The result is a true-scale machine that's every bit as stable, locked-in and easy to fly — finished here in a striking military Brown/Sand camouflage scheme.

If you can fly a drone, you can fly this: one-touch auto take-off and landing handle the trickiest moments for you, the altitude hold system keeps the MD 500 hovering at a set height while you concentrate on steering, and 6-axis gyro stabilisation smooths out every input. When things go wrong, the model-protecting panic mode brings it back to level, stable flight at the press of a button. Switchable novice and advanced Co-Pilot modes mean the helicopter grows with you — start fully assisted, then peel back the help as your thumbs learn.

The four-blade flybarless scale rotor head looks the part and flies smoothly, high-intensity nose and tail lights keep orientation clear (and look superb at dusk), and the crisply detailed fuselage rides on durable, beginner-friendly construction that shrugs off the learning curve. The quick-release wireless LiPo makes battery swaps tool-free and fuss-free, with an outstanding 12-minute flight duration per charge.
