hi everyone,

since i have my typhoon2 3d i never had success with . so my question is why i crash every time ?
my longest flight it was 30 second !! but don't anderstand all my setting is ok and i already own a stryker f-27c and aerobird 3 and i can do what i want loop,backflip, inverted flight !! but when i try to turn with the rudder only ,the typhoon turn but not smoothly and when i push the trottle the plane always go vertical . I thing i need the basic of flying for this! thank you to read my post

Try downloading FMS off the internet. ( you will need a USB controller ).

After downloading FMS, search for FMS models. There are hundreds of models you can download.

In those hundreds there are a few ( around 20 ) 3d airplane models similar to the typhoon you can practice on.

I found the parkzone typhoon 2 model although not have the actual plane i don't know if it flys the same.

goodluck

Hi Windfou,

The Typhoon can be a handful if you are trying to fly it on the high rates. Do the following:

1) Before you fly it, paint the top of the plane and wings a distinctly different color from the bottom. This way you can easily tell, even at a distance, which way is up.
2) Set the transmitter switch to the LOW RATE setting.
3) Make sure that all of the control surfaces are moving in the correct direction.
4) Use a straight edge ( a ruler) to make sure that the rudder and elevator are properly lined up. The ailerons should be set half way between the line of the top of the wing and the line of the bottom of the wing.

Take off from the ground. Ramp up to full throttle and very gently and very slightly pull back on the control stick. As soon as the plane clears the ground, bring the stick back to neutral and let the plane climb very gently. Once the plane reaches 50ft., cut the throttle to 50%. Let it continue to climb gently to 150-200ft. Fly it gently, with no stunts, at this altitude and at this speed. Use only the ailerons for steering; don't use the rudder at all. To land, you need to keep some power, but you can cut it to 30% or so. The plane does not glide well with no power at all. Once you are comfortable flying it on the low rates, continue to take-off and land on low rates, but switch to high rates when you are at altitude and want to experiment a little.

Keep in mind that the plane has huge control surfaces and that even at low rates, it responds very quickly to your inputs. Keep your control inputs gentle and small.

Thank you Leo

so for make a turn i just use the ailerons but what i do with the rudder ? waiting until achieve more experience or not use it at all?

The bigger the plane, the more need to use the rudder to make coordinated turns. On parkflyers, the rudder is usually only used on take-off and landing, to keep the plane lined up with the runway while keeping the wings level, and for special maneuvers. For most regular flying, there is no need to use the rudder. On my Typhoon, I use the rudder for making flat turns, flat spins, death spirals, etc.; and for controlling the tail wheel once the plane is on the ground. There are many great flying planes that don't have a rudder, like all of the ParkZone warbirds. I know of two flyers who epoxied the rudder on their miniUltraSticks.
