I didn't no the Typhoon H had a Flippy Mode on it! LOL Bad wind gust, save it by giving full throttle and yaw to the left full.

Wow, those gusts must have been at least 35+ mph?
Good save! ?
That looks like one of my flights in a Cessna when going to Aspen CO. I saw lenticular clouds and was anticipating a bit of turbulence, then all the sudden we hit the leeward winds.
Suddenly my plane did a hard 90° bank to the right several times , while my head hit the side of the window. It was good experience, kinda fun though!

Not sure of the speeds, were I was they didn't seem so bad but once I got up higher, well! I brought her home and park it for the day.
I was lucky, I try movements on the sticks and I guess it was enough. I knew if it went upside down it was all over!

That was a nice piece of piloting. An H experiencing flippy mode is likely to become a stone in the air. You should get a gold star for piloting for recovering from that one.
