I got an E-Mail form horrizon this morning and it seems that they are pulling out all the stops with the Typhoon, no longer do they use a proprietary 27Mhz radio, but a industry standard 72 Mhz with dual rates. With the brushless motor she's looking rather good, But she is a fat little birdie, but not too much more than a simularly equiped Mini Funtana.

Yeah, I saw it. WOW, looks like Parkzone is working hard to get the market. That's an incredible deal TX and all; 72mHz nonethe less. Clearly they know the market and have been listening to our complaints.

I know this is an old thread but lets keep it alive! This is the only thread that I found containing any information on the typhoon. An yone fly it ? info? pics?

I am waiting for my LHS to get one in, I hope it will be soon as I will get one for sure.

You will be waiting a while. End of June best case. My friend David Ribbe still hasnt sent me one though so I am out of luck

I'll bet anyone here a dollar the manual hasn't been completed. -- John P

The manual is in final proofing!
I think end of July is earliest it will be ready.... Flying great though!
