MF-Typhoon Build

As promised by Ashton, the build video for the MF-Typhoon.  Many lunches went into this build, and staying true for his last two episodes of the program, he wanted to go solo. He did a great job and we hope that you get what you need out of this episode to build your very own Typhoon scratch build aircraft.  If you haven't done so already, download the plans and cut out your pieces and get ready.  You can also support the program and purchase the plane from Altitude Hobbies.

Thank you,
