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.
Toccata is electric ready with removal of the nose.
