Default RE: Parkzone Typhoon 3D ?

I would fix it, but the integrity of the back of the fuse is really suspect, even if I did epoxy it. This particular body seemed exceptionaly soft, almost spongy in some areas as opposed to my B-model which is made out of the same Z-Foam as the Typhoon. I salvaged what I could and cut my loses. I'm currently building a brushless model with airbrakes. I found a homepage for this dude who went nuts with his Strykers....the one called "Rock and Roll" was painted to look like Eddie Van Halens taped Kramer...but the kicker is that he split the elevons, inserted an addtional servo into each wing and made a fully functional airbrake. Looks crazy, but he video taped a highspeed pass (of course this is a brushless model) and then the same pass adding airbrake. It looked like he did a 100MPH-20 in about 25 yards. I have got to try that.

Take it easy...
