Great job Jeff  Good to see it in the air again. Man you look CO CO CO COLD up there in Iowa. Its been chilly here not like some people we know.......

[Winston51249]

Haha..thanks Greg. It's been a while since I had my T-28 in the air. (and who might you be referring to? LOL)

Great flying Jeff, it's really good for somone who hasn't had like 10 years of flying experiacne

[Winston51249]

Thanks for the compliment. I've taken some instruction from Dave, so I think that gives me a little bit of an advantage. Thank you much for the comment!

Another great flight, Jeff. I wonder where you got the idea for those mods??? LOL

5 Stars and to Mary too for holding the cold, cold, cold camera.

[Winston51249]

Hahaha...I'll tell Mary you said that. And of course, YOU were the one who encouraged me to do the landing gear mods. The rubber ducky was straight up stolen from Mary. (She had it on a corner-shelf and I stole it, fair and square. LOL)

Great video. I rerally like how your T-28 looks in the air, and great job on the mods as well. My buddy lost his PZ T-28 the other day to freezing rain, I guess his desire to fly outweighed his knowledge of the consequences lol.... 5 stars

I may get the typhoon out again this weekend. I modded mine last summer to use a lipo and I get better fly time with it. So, I have 3 nimh batteries and several lipos to keep the fun going. Cant wait to see your typhoon 2 out again. If the old man can get it up you should have no problems! lol... Catch ya later.

so you bent the landing gear back or foward. it healps with grass landings?

[Winston51249]

I bent the main landing gear back for a longer wheel base, and added the larger nose wheel so it would roll a little better on grass. The way it was (stock) didn't work so well. Thanks for your comment.

I really do like that plane mate,so how does it fly in a bit of wind Jeff? and i know what you mean about the cold mate as we have the same trouble with it this end in the UK lol,and i can't get no one to video my flights they all say i must be mad lol and i can't get to grips with my hatcam,5*

[Winston51249]

It flies great in a moderate amount of wind. Actually it flies great in heavy wind. The only thing is is getting it back to the ground in one piece in heavy wind. And about being 'mad'. Anybody who flies in temps below freezing IS mad...isn't it great? LOL.

Thanks for your comment and 5* mate!

[Winston51249]

No heat or hot shower for 9 days? BUMMER!!! I'd be a stinky fella as there's no way I could take a cold shower. LOL. Hope you get it fixed soon. Thanks for the comment and the 5*.
