No - the Typhoon is not yet finished! It's been a steep learning curve and that's without your opening missile doors and camera etc. I must admit I also miss the old Marine RC forum too. Just following all the Typhoon building on there gave me great heart. I learned a lot from that! I've had various 'challenges' on the road to completing the model including getting the front retracts to operate properly and a continuing tendency for the periscope shafts to bend. The rear dive plane & rudder linkages still do not operate as smoothly as I would like but seem to be serviceable. The main problems are (touch wood) now solved but I am still worried that should a motor fail I haven't a clue how I'll be able to get it out now that everything else is in. I'm hoping to do a watertight test shortly although our usual upstairs test tank is too small! Fortunately a professional one at a local university has been offered when I've made a few final checks. I'll let you know the outcome in due course.
