and tighten securely.
1. Slide propeller on. Make sure pitch numbers on
2. Slide washer on first. Next, screw the nut on
3. Attach spinner.
Installing the Propeller and Spinner
Your Typhoon
3D PNP has two props that are included.
You can select the prop that best works with your
flying style.
A. 13.5 x 7 (PKZ1006): This prop is recommended for
the first several flights on your plane. This prop
will allow your plane to fly a bit slower, but is also
the setup for maximum vertical power (especially
with the 9-cell Ni-MH pack).
B. 12 x 8.75 (PKZ1007): This prop will allow you
to fly at faster speeds and help with certain
aerobatic maneuvers. This propeller is ideal for the
Thunder Power 3S 2100mAh Li-Po battery pack.
When you have selected the propeller that best works
for you, install and secure it making sure not to forget
any of the necessary hardware.

Installing the Receiver
Carefully plug in the servo leads into the
corresponding channels of the receiver you have
chosen. The servo plugs may have to be trimmed
carefully with a hobby knife if you are using a JR
®
or HiTec radio system in order to fit correctly into
the receiver.
Confirm that the servo leads/plugs are in the
correct channel of the receiver. Do this by:
1. Turning on the transmitter
2. Installing a charged flight battery
3. Turning on receiver switch.
4. Check all functions to ensure proper setup.
Keep all body parts away from the propeller.
You can also make any trim adjustments to the
control surfaces at this time. Once you are
satisfied that the channels are functioning
correctly, you can turn off the radio system.
Install the receiver into the allotted space within the
fuselage. Make sure it is secure.
Carefully route the antenna so it exits the fuselage
just behind the canopy. It should then simply fall
along the fuselage and can be secured through the
vertical stab. When the antenna is routed correctly,
it should hang several inches (5”–7”) below the
fuselage.
Center of Gravity Information
Your ParkZone Typhoon
™
3D Plug-N-Play
™
aircraft can be
powered by either a 9-cell Ni-MH 1000mAh battery pack
(PKZ1027), or by the Thunder Power 3S 2100mAh
battery pack (THP21003S).
The center of gravity (CG) for your Typhoon 3D PNP, with
the 9-cell Ni-MH pack, is approximately 3.50 inches
(90mm) back from the leading edge of the wing. The CG
with the 3S 2100mAh Li-Po is approximately 3.70 inches
(95mm) back from the leading edge of the wing.
Additionally, you may choose to make the first several
flights with the included spanner (prop wrench) taped to
the inside or bottom of the cowl. This will add .3 ounces
(8.5 g) and may help you to get used to the flight
characteristics of this 3D airplane.
Aileron, Elevator, and Rudder Throws
The recommended throws in low rate are:
Ailerons: +/- .75 inches (20mm)
Elevator: +/- 1.40 inches (35mm)
Rudder: +/- 1.00 inch (25mm)
The recommended throws in high rate are:
Ailerons: +/- 1.25 inches (30mm)
Elevator: +/- 2.00 inches (50mm)
Rudder: +/- 2.00 inches (50mm)
Your Typhoon
™
3D PNP should fly great between these ranges.
