The unofficial newsletter for Taifun owners in the U.S.A. and Canada.
Dedicated to improved operation, increased enjoyment and flight safety!
Publication will be when and if we feel like it. If we have nothing to say and there is no newsletter, it will be up to YOU to contribute useful or newsworthy items.

The May issue of the German Flieger Magazin describes in great detail the joint efforts of Korff and Limbach in upgrading the Taifun. The engine is a liquid cooled L-2400 with electronic fuel injection and produces 100 hp, 20 horses more than most of us are accustomed to.
Anyone interested can get a reprint from me, but it will be in German, of course. Complete details can be obtained from Cornelia Korff.
As mentioned last winter, Korff also has an upgrade program to convert the L2000
