Sorry I got a bit sidetracked, working out that I could use my 6CH to get the TYPHOON set up for now once I removed the Reflex Gyro channel to run it as a dumb plane for the time being.

Wondering if I should get back into drones. Haha since I am unable to have any fun hobbies thanks NSW government.
Just donât fly them over active fires like a idiot did yesterday and grounded all the aerial firefighting assets. 
I wonderâŚ
If the Bondi nutters, used drones carrying explosivesâŚ.
Would drones be banned, as well.??
They are already restricted and have to be in a club to fly them. I donât know why some people do some really stupid shit these days.
thatâs stupid that you have to be in a club⌠i guess no drone flying for me.
Sorry I was wrong, no you donât, that was for something else. Just no higher than 120m and 30m away from people and populus areas, 5klm away from airports and away from disasters like fires floods etc. Drone has to be in visual line of sight. You can look it up online.
A little history as to why I love the Hawker Typhoon/Tempest out of ANY other aircraft built in WW2.
Whilst the Spitfire, Mustangs, F4U Corsair, Thunderbolts, Hellfireâs etc got all the attention and historical glory, there was ONLY one single aircraft that changed the whole course of the War, and that was the Hawker Typhoon and Tempest, even though its always been overshadowed by the âpopularityâ of the aforementioned aircraft. 
We had some Hawker Sea Fury squadrons, went Korean war on our aircraft carrier Hmas Sydney.

4x 20mm Hispanos will give you a bad day 
Forerunner to the Hurricane, yeah? 
I think the Hurricane was the predecessor and was badged with over half the luftwaffe kills in the Battle of Britain alongside the Spitfire.
Iâd have to check but the Hurricane Iâm sure was the first of that type in the 1930âs.
@Maiphut was spot on, and thanks for the link to that article mate!
The Hurricane was the prior Model that was instrumental in winning the Battle of Britain, but once again, the Spitfire got all the attention and fame even though it was the Hawker Hurricane that was the major player in the whole theatre of battle.
The Typhoon was then designed to beat the Spitfire in speed and weaponry ability, but had a few early teething issues, so was tweaked and replaced with the Tempest design for the rest of WW2, then redesigned again using a radial engine for the years following WW2 and called the Fury/Sea Fury.
The Typhoon and Tempest were THE fastest low level fighters of all aircraft ever built during WW2, being the only fighter able to chase down and destroy V2 rockets being launched into England and the first German Jet fighter Aircraft that were put into action towards the end of the war.
BTW: The new 10CH receiver turned up a few days ago, so I might bring the Typhoon back up bush here and get it all set up to give me something else to do whilst sitting around camp! 
The other cool thing was USA had 500 P51 Mustang plane kits to be assembled in country on the way to England, Japan was attacking us hundreds of times with pot shots off the top of Aus and we had nothing besides a SMLE. Poppa quickly dumped that and started running 40mm Bofors ammo. Got a few, but they were mostly on a one way mission as theyâd run out of fuel. They recently found one of our Catalina patrol/rescue planes that the Japs shot down up top there somewhere. I read a year or two ago.
My Poppa ran out in his jocks and dumped a mag at them as they did another strafing run of the hundreds they did up North.
Invasion looked imminent so between the US and England had pretty much after the battle of Britain said divert those to Australia. Which they did, so we ended up with 500 P51 mustangs kits to assemble, train pilots and stood up 3 squadrons of those to start with(pretty cool seeing a P51 with an Australian Roundel on it at an air show which they have plenty of parts for here as we didnât send back or build them all not enough pilots or support crew). All you had to do to be a pilot was get on the train in Adelaide and be in EDN. They assisted to start with in Bouganville then the war ended, dropped from three to 2 squadrons and then Korea kicked off and we sent a squadron of P51âs along with the HMAS Sydney Hawker Sea Fury to assist in Korea. Some brave men died in Korea flying those.
Always remember. Canât see a green haired doesnât know what it identifies as these days doing that besides rioting and causing disruption to the well being of Australia.
Saddens me to see what people do to this lovely place, the good people in it. I work hard to provide for the populace food and clothing. When I see the bs down south/ east coast. They are not Australian and should not be here imo. I acclimatized to Australia when I popped out the oven. Why canât others?
Itâs easy. Get a job, dunner nah duh na nah. There is huge employment opportunities. Always has been. Or maybe your shit country you left from you didnât work and so it fails. Donât like it here, go home, weâll even fly you home with our own planes.
Donât wreck Australia and how far it has come. Rant off.
The Warbirds look great but the physics just doesnât scale. Give me a wing or talon thanks.
Test flight ended up being 200kph+ speed runs 
You are 100% right about the physics and scale, where the lightweight foam replicas are a bitch to achieve correct CG making them a handful to fly.
I have the Warbirds mainly as great replicas of my favourite WW2 Aircraft, not for use as daily flyers, thatâs what all my other Float Planes are for.
Thatâs some great in flight footage BTWđ
My FMS Kingfisher comes with an FPV Camera hatch, but Iâm yet to go down that pathâŚyet!
