Description

The Typhoon Mk 2 "Toccata" is the latest 2m soarer from the James Hammond stable of high performance sport slope models. Ideal for big lift this model gives scintillating performance, flying like a much larger model.

The Toccata is the long-awaited replacement for the classic Typhoon that James Hammond designed with RCRCM over 15 years ago, and is now the biggest selling 2 metre model of all time with over 2500 Models sold. Originally intended as an introduction to moulded models, it has been a first model for many, a trainer, and a good flying, reliable, and easy to install model for hundreds of slope flyers. Everything has been improved on the new version in both construction and aerodynamics while the basic dimensions and curves that distinguish the model and have made it a classic remain. The all-new Toccata is lighter, stronger, faster and slower on landing than the original; maintains its easy to install radio and has the added benefit of better flying performance, especially in light wind flying, acceleration and energy retention.

James Hammond's Aeroic company builds these models to a very high standard. The strength and surface finish are excellent. The reasonably complete accessory pack includes a full wiring harness.

P.S. to my above review

I should have pointed out in my above review that the version I have is the Sport version, not the heavier Supersport.
In Doc Hammond's musings on his design brief for the updated Typhoon, he stated that the Toccata would be lighter, stronger, faster, and fly in lighter air than the old Typhoon. I am impressed with the hardness of the excellent finish to the model, and the fus and wings do feel very solid. I also have no doubt that it will be faster. My jury is out on the lighter air flying, but I can say for certain that the Toccata is, in round figures, 200gms heavier than my old single carbon Typhoon, and I very much doubt that putting the tail servos in the radio bay would make that much difference.
Still happy to give it 5 stars though.

The Typhoon replacement is, as promissed, an improvement quality wise, with just a few minor niggles, such as wing halves out of balance by 14gms, and loom aileron leads needing to be reduced in length by 300mm, and though all parts fitted well, i'm not sure why the fus wing shoulder chord depth is a good 1mm greater than the wings, which looks kind of ugly when the wings are taped on.
Assembly was pretty straight forward, though tail servos in the fin was a pretty tight squeeze, and lead, in part at least, to a surprisingly large, almost 300gms, amount of lead in the nose to get a CofG at 95mm, and a flying weight of just under 1900 gms. I am not sure why Hyperflight don't allow for balance weight in their slope model spec info.
I maidened the Toccata yesterday, in less tha ideal conditios, and quickly found that it does not do slow, with several dropped wings, ( easily recoverable), before conditios improved enough to gain height and speed. It then flew very well, with aerobatics neat and sharp with coupled flaps. A very steep dive test was arrow straight, no pulling out, or tucking under, so the given CofG is spot on.
The Toccata is definitely a keeper, and Hyper flight's service was, as ever, excellent.
