Default RE: Parkzone Typhoon 3D ?

The only suggestion I can offer you set your radio to low rate about 70% until you become familiar or get used to this plane, at high/full throw this plane is very jittery and hard to control, especially at windy condition , people tend to over control then loose control. Leave the high rate to aerobatic stuff.
Also keep in mind that this is a styrofoam plane with big wing surfaces.
This plane can actually fly pretty good in windy condition comparing to other foamies. It has plenty power (even in stock form) using a lipo battery to recover from a wind toss.
You are on a right track, just keep practicing.
Oh yes,... when you break a prop on this plane it usually takes the prop shaft with it, check to make sure it is not bent. If it is bent any parkzone brand (gearbox type) prop shaft will work, such as super cub, FW-190, p-51 mustang and such. the plastic gear may be different but the metal shaft is the same or interchangeable. Use a metal punch to drive the metal shaft out and hammer it into the typhoon gear. I've done it a half a dozen times, because the local shop did not have typhoon shaft in stock.
