Jose,

That is an outstanding Typhoon my friend. . . . . . . .  You did a good job on it and I hope it flies as good as it looks.  Good luck with your maiden flight.  I wish many years of enjoyable flying with it. . . . . .

She turned out really well.

Don't worry about the spinner. There's no real centrifugal force issues. 

I fly the same spinner on my P40 Warhawk.

I have changed the glass lay up weights and am now getting the fuselage to around 270 - 275 grams.

The tail fin to around 45 - 48 grams.

I make the spinner really heavy for this kit because of the long tail moment.

Great news and thank you for the endorsement of my product .

How about a flight video to show case your masterpiece.

Despite the very hot temperatures here in Madrid surroundings the Typhoon flew again.

This time, the engine suffered some overheating issues, especially at idling and taxiing.

During the take off the right leg spun and broke the door when retracted causing jumps after touching down.

Some lessons learnt:

- avoid flying under hot temperatures because these overheating problems. 

- improve the inner cowl baffling.

- recess the piano wire pins in both legs to avoid  spinning.

- strengthen the main doors fixing points.  

- match the inner doors with the main ones. If not, air stream tends to try opening them in flight which may result in damages.
