Was on the RC City Website. This site is currently under construction and seems to be unavailable at times.

I saw that a Typhoon 900 and Typhoon 1000 were listed.

The Typhoon 2+2 available years ago through Gator RC is my all time favorite plane. I still have a Typhoon 2+2 with a Nomex fuselage. Jim Graham from RC City and I are trying to determine the differences between the Typhoon 900, 1000, and 2+2. I'm not at all familiar with the 900 or the 1000. I do remember a Typhoon 2000?....and then a possibly a "FASCINATION" after that?

I still have the Typhoon 2+2 plans from Gator RC. Jim seems to think that the Typhoon 1000 is the same fuselage as the 2+2 with the wings being slightly different.

This was a very popular design years ago....hopefully there are some of you out there that are familiar with the different itterations of this aircraft. Your input to help fully identify the 2+2 would be appreciated.

I remember seing that Gator RC ad from back then. I forgot about the reference to the "MV1 Typhoon" . Jim at RC City apparently has the 909sq. in and 1000sq. in. versions. I need to look at the 2+2 plans to see the difference in the 1,140sq. in. wing. Jim thinks that the fuselage is the same for all of them and the wing area is the only difference. Can anyone verify that?

Status: offline 		I have a copy of the 2+2 plans and you are right the fuse is longer. The 900 and 1000 use the same fuse I have the molds for both but not the 2+2.Jim Grahamrccityfl.com

Status: offline 		Thanks! But actually it was a Typhoon 2+2 in 1995. I made the 1993 USA Team with Typhoon 1000's.

BTW, the MV in the original MV1 Typhoon was for "Mostly Vortex". Ron patterned the Typhoon off of the Ulery Vortex that Dean Koger flew.
