| John, that video is amazing. Congratulations on a great flying typhoon. |

| Thanks. This model didn't require much trim, unlike most of the low wing planes I have built. It needed small adjustments to the rudder and elevator to get a good glide. Under power, it only needed a little extra down thrust to stop stalling. |

| Superb work john. Loved the video. The plane flew so smoothly. |

| That is a great video John. She looks excellent in flight! How much post-build adjustments to the control surfaces were required to get her to fly how you wanted? |

| Here is a video of the Typhoon flying:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3_7jYIif2Q. This was with about 750 turns on the rubber. The rubber can take about 1000 turns, but at 900 turns, the model flies dangerously too close to the gym ceiling. |

| Innovation at it's best. Nice model. |

| John, a great looking plane. I love the variation of kits on this site. From museum quality static kits to museum quality air worthy kits. Like any good art museum, the work here ranges from representational to nearly abstract. And it all complements the other. Great job, John. And great job, all. |

| Very cool, John. I've always wondered how you get that stuff on there. |

| Looks great!!! I like the clever process of coloring the tissue with an ink jet printer. |

My major modification was to make all wing ribs half thickness, for better flying ability. |

The tissue is a little loose to prevent warping. It was preshrunk with water on a frame. |

The typhoon is covered with white domestic tissue that was colored with an ink jet printer and then chalked, |

The model is a little nose heavy so I may need to add tail weight or make a lighter prop. |

Typhoon, ready for rubber powered flight, weighing 16.9 grams (without rubber). |
