function description
With the racing boat typhoon you have a thoroughbred Rennkatam
aran at the start. The geometry of the hull gives the model extre-
mely good handling on the water including sharp turns.
Both recommended outboards are connected via a linkage and con-
trolled with only one strong servo.
The fuselage, hood and hood are laminated from laminated fiber-
glass and are dyed white and trimmed to install the RC components.
Two inline engines No.6645 to 6649 provide different speeds depen-
ding on the ability and experience of the rider.
It is essential to operate the motors together with the
water cooling system No.6645.1 so that they do not over-
heat during operation and are damaged.
For the connection of the ESC`s there are two ways:
1. Both controllers on channel 1 are operated via Y cable No.S8187.
(First of all the controllers have to be taught in individually on the
control stick)
2. Operate the controller via mixer on the remote control. To do
this, the second controller is plugged into channel 6 and assigned
via the free mixers. Only one controller may supply the receiver
with BEC. For the second pull the red wire on the receiver cable!
Insert the telemetry cable from the BEC control to channel 5 (on the
GR-12).

Assembling of the model
138 mm
Middle
Teilesatz 4
The fiberglass parts are all finished cropped. The wood laser parts
are glued together using the pictures (superglue No. 5821)
To install the servo base (4) in the fuselage, Stabilit Express no.
960.85. The position of the base is provided centrally in the fuse-
lage. Rear cut-out hull hull to end socket is 138 mm.
Also with Stabilit Expres, the two aluminum tubes (7) for the rud-
der links are glued into the existing holes.
Drill 4 holes for attaching the
trims (3). Use screws (19)
Glue the aluminum tube (7)
into the fuselage. Overhang
on the outside about 2-3 mm
The rubber grommet (8) is
mounted on the tube and
fixed with a drop of superg-
lue, as well on the linkage to
the outboard.
Glue the pre-glued servo
base in the middle of the
fuselage at a distance of 138
mm from the rear cut-out
edge. Prior to this, connect
both linkage systems as a
test. Align the aluminum
tubes so that they do not
touch the poles. Only then
glue and push on the rubber
grommets.

Use the hook and loop strap (20) to attach
the batteries.
The rubber sleeves (8) can be fixed with
some superglue or alternatively with cable
ties (optionally available under No. S8436)
Always place the antenna of the receiver
outwards and as far up as possible, as the
water surface can strongly reflect the radio
signal.
Seal the antenna bushing with some Fixo-
gum No.575.
Align and glue the aluminum tubes (7)
slightly overhanging.
Thread the motor connection cables
through the socket on the fuselage. Then
close the maintenance opening of 20 mm
with the waterproof adhesive tape.
Secure all screws well with screw lock (No.
952)
On the engines the heat sink no. Mount
6645.1 and the nipples for feeding with sili-
cone hose no. 1668.3 connect.
The discharge from the heat sink is in turn
out of the housing of the outboard motor.
To do this, use the lower recess on the rear
of the hood to guide the hose outwards.
Both outboards are connected via clevises
(5) and threaded rod (15). The outboards
themselves are screwed to the hull via the
8 screws (16).
