<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Typhoon fuse is too small today unless it the 2000
Fuse....and I'm not a big fan of the Alliance......The wing will fly better than
the original Typhoon wing...but I don't believe the Alliance wing is any great
shakes either...Its very dragging and requires a ton of power...Fashion wing was
the same way...very draggy..almost too much so in high wind
conditions....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Obviously the Alliance and the Synergy are good
planes...they are the world champion designs for the last 2 worlds...that's
going on 4 years now...so yes they are good....You can't beat Quique and Chip
running a Kaos but the planes I flew just didn't impress me like the others
have....Maybe it was setup or builder issues...but I was very underwhelmed
considering what I have had the pleasure of flying for the past couple
years.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You should be better off than a stock Typhoon
wing...It takes more to make a championship design than bolting a new set of
wings on a design to make it the right combo....I would rather see the Guerin
wing on the Typhoon 2000...The Prophecy, Focus, Temptation, Hydeout.......This
wing is a good one and has worked on all these planes why not stick it on the
Typhoon too. I don't know its combo thing and the right combo of things is hard
to find....The design process is a little more detailed than just plugging parts
from different designs together.....</FONT></DIV>

<P>Troy,
<P>What would you think of a Typhoon balsa fuse/Aliance wing and
stab hybrid with an OS 140. We have one in the works right now.

hit the nail on the head!<BR><BR>The Typhoon 1000 is a small airplane...just

today's current F3A sequences its<BR>not a viable ship. The snap and spin
qualities are poor. The Fascination is<BR>really a totally different design
by Chris Lakin..Its a 2M ship the<BR>2+2......But it has a smaller wing on
it and snaps better and spins better<BR>than the typhoon. The Fascination
also has a larger sized fuse its a more<BR>modern bird than the
2+2....<BR><BR>Now don't get me wrong the Typhoon is a good plane but if
you're going to<BR>build one build the 2000 or the 2+2...the 1000 was a bit
too small and was<BR>in the first generation of the 120 ships.....the 2+2 is
a much batter<BR>plane......In fact a 2+2 with Typhoon "D" wings or the 1000
wings.....would<BR>be a good combo.....I think the "D" would be better...but
they are a tough<BR>thing to come by I don't think plans are available for
them..it was a rare<BR>one that was not around long...the 2+2 took over
quickly.<BR><BR><BR>the fascination was a good plane also..I'm not a big fan
of the 1 piece<BR>wings....Now since you are building from wood you could
modify the design to<BR>be a plug-in wing and not the 1 piece......Some have
done a 1 piece wing<BR>that slides together on wing tube setup.....This
might be a bit on the<BR>heavy side in my opinion....Just kill the center
section of the wing and<BR>mount the wing tube socket in the fuse......It
will be lighter than building<BR>up the supports to mount the wing as a one
piece then sticking the supports<BR>in the wing for the tube...your building
the same stuff twice...not<BR>needed.....<BR><BR><BR>My opinion...I have
flown many of the Typhoons they are a great plane for<BR>AMA class
patterns....I would say even up through Masters....No matter what<BR>people
seem to think the demands on the Plane in the masters pattern is
not<BR>anything more than the F3A sequences of the mid to late 90's The
snaps are<BR>45 downs and there are not spins reversed like the current
F3A<BR>sequences.....So this being the case the 2+2 can and will be a good
platform<BR>for anybody up ingot he masters class...I flew A 2+2 in Masters
in 99' and<BR>placed 4th....Now 4 years later and 2 pattern later and the
only<BR>requirements that have changed is more power needed.....Not more
snap or<BR>spin capability.....F3A as I said is a totally different
story.<BR><BR><BR>I have said it before my opinion is worth what you paid
