The
Typhoon Mk 2 "Toccata Electric" is the latest 2m hotliner from the James Hammond stable of high performance models. This electric glider gives scintillating performance, flying like a much larger model.
The Toccata Electric is based on the well regarded Toccata slope soarer which has been improved in both construction and aerodynamics. The basic dimensions and curves that distinguish the model and have made it a classic remain.
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 and a 32mm firewall. Note the fuselage nose has not been removed to give the customer maximum flexibility to the size of the motor installed.
