Hi Chad; Your close the one you saw was my first one with the same paint scheme but no retracts and dive brake. I finally believe i have my P-47 ready to fly and am planning to come up on friday and hopefully get it static judged. Maybe i can find someone to fly it in team scale for me.

If you need a volunteer Dean, my hand is up! I thought I had a "ride" for team scale but that has fallen through and my Typhoon is not quite finished yet. Looking forward to seeing the Jug in person.

Jimmy Bananas, the Typhoon is actually from Brian Taylor plans and accessories. Span is 72" and it has a 1.08 for power. It is essentially complete mechanically but obviously there is lots of detail work to be done. Regards, Chad.

I will soon be starting on a Brian Taylor Typhoon. Did you find any pitfalls I should be aware of? What retracts did you use? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kirk
