NitroPlanes Airfield T-28 1400mm Build Overview - Kit Only version

[gonzotroop1982]

Hello, have you had any trouble with the servos for the flaps burning out? I had one go bad the first evening out of the box, the second a couple of weeks later. Very hot to the tough. Also, how strong are the landing struts? Will they take being on grass?

Thanks.

Very nice plane. You did a really good job with your upgrade installs, too. I have the 1400mm Corsair and have had NO luck getting the gear doors and the gear to work together properly. Nitroplanes has sent me 3 replacement sequencers ...none worked properly and bought one from PW-RC...same thing. I have a Specktrum DX6i. I'd like to get the T-28, but with the trouble I've had, I'll probably get the RTF just to avoid the hassle! Thoughts?

Thanks! I'll have to scrutinize the situation some more. When I put the canopy back on I have about a good 1/8 in rise above the fuselage front and back. Thought it was more flush and close to the fuselage. It just seems like it should fit tighter and closer. Have looked at some pictures of others and it seems to fit better. I'm sure I'll find a solution.

I just got my T-28 yesterday and was noticing when I put the canopy back on that it doesn't really match up flush with the fuselage on the front and back of the canopy. I really didn't notice if that was that way before I removed it for the first time. Does this seem to be the normal way it fits and do you seem to have the same thing on yours?

@n7051x it's not perfectly flush but it's close, I recommend cutting a small notch in the foam (using an exacto knife) behind the canopy so it's easier to get your finger in there to pop the canopy off.

I made a mistake during my video - the recommended flying weight is really 5.5 lbs. WITH battery, mine will be about 10 oz. heavier than that with a 6S pack, but anyone using a 3000 or 4000mAh battery would be looking at about the same AUW, a bit over 6 lbs.
