PARKZONE TYPHOON

[I.C.O.N.]

I just got mine but have yet to maiden it.

Do any other Helifreaks have one of these little babies.

I thinks it should be a lot of fun. Here are some vids of it in action.

I have the plug and play model for a $159.

I put an Electron 6 in it and am going to use my Futaba 7C with some 2100 lipos that I have for my T-REX. I moved the Electron from my Rex too and bought a Berg7 for it.

Here is a link to whats in the box.

Anyone else flying one of these?

Have Fun!

yes there are a few of us here that have them.

get some extra gear sets, a spare prop and lotsa batteries, lithium that is.

[I.C.O.N.]

I have some extra props but the LHS didn't stock the gears. I'll have to order some. And some HS81's to replace the servos. I want to put them on 6V as well. But gotta get it in the air first.

I only have one TX batt, but three 2100's so I should be able to fly nonstop until the TX is pretty much dead.

I have the flaps mixed into the elevator to get more motion with less work for that servo. Hope the stock ones hold up for a few flights anyway.

Glad to see some freaks around with this plank.

Can't wait to maiden it!

stock servos are fine. if they go bad then replace them with 81s.

After a couple of crashes due to bad servos I upgraded the ailerons and elevator to HS-81s.

I just got her out for the first time today!

She flies great!! :woohoo

I was in the air for only about 8 mins cuz it's soo cold. I could barely move my fingers so I tried to bring it down.

Missed the dirt road runway and tipped it into a fence. Dinged up the wing a little but not bad. it's drying now.

I really just ran out of air speed and it dropped before I got it lined up. I turned it into a real plank... ... :lol:

My low rates were way too low and the high rates were about perfect. Could use a little more though. I will wait till I get some 81's to crank up the rates though.

Have Fun!
