Typhoon X Tail: a 2-metre rocket ship!
Typhoon earned its name because it was designed during the worst part of the strongest Typhoon to hit Taiwan in the last decade. Trust me – it was scary.
Aimed at the flyer who has made his bones on smaller ships and now wants something with higher potential, the Typhoon offers sparkling slope performance, but turns into a pussycat when thermalling. For experienced flyers, the plane handles like a dream, has no vices and yet is capable of amazing performance in the right hands.
Able to fly in almost any conditions and equipped with a full house complement of ailerons, rudder, elevator and flaps, the Typhoon can perform leisurely aerobatics or be made into a hair-raising, jaw-aching rocket by the addition of ballast, yet it will slow down to hand-catch speed for landings.
Made from CNC generated moulds, and supplied with a full kit of small parts and a massive 20mm ballast tube, Typhoon is constructed to the highest standards of fit and finish. Typhoon is a real all-rounder, yet it will fit on the Parcel shelf of most cars.
