The typhoon name was dropped when the FG series was released. I'm not having a dig either, just thought I'd let you know for future reference. Good luck with the build and be sure to post plenty of photos when the ball gets rolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatgq New Member 22 Member For: 10y 3m 17d Posted 23/11/14 02:37 AM Author Share Posted 23/11/14 02:37 AM (edited) So which is the best engine to start with? I will admit I have limited knowledge of these new falcon engines. I know patrols inside out but let's face it there engines are dinosaurs.
