Parkzone T-28 Flaps and Maneuvers

http://www.minneflyer.com

This is the Parkzone T-28 modded with Turnigy 3536C motor, 3-blade 9x7 MAS prop, flaps, and custom paint! I wanted to capture it's flight performance, landings and touch-and-gos, as well as some basic maneuverability. Please feel free to comment, rate, and subscribe!

i noticed that the moment you hit the flaps, your plane reacts the exact same as my trojan with the same flap configuration. it pops up about a foot in the air. have you thought about a servo speed reducer? i'm considering it cuz i think it will help.

Thanks for the comment! I actually have upgraded my transmitter to a Futaba 9CAP. This Tx is awesome because of all the programming and mixing you can do. It even has a servo speed reducer function built in, so I can use that to reduce the rate of flaps. However, I have ended up programming the flaps to a dial on my Tx so I can "dial-in" the flaps as fast (or slow) as I want them. It's such a sweet setup!

great flying skills! you prob know this ,but if u bend your nose gear forward it will help a lot on those landings.I know mine bend back after awhile to. :<)

Thanks for the comment My2cents0! Great suggestion on bending the nose gear forward... I think I've read that before, but keep forgetting to do it before I go flying!

If you have a three-way switch on your trannie you can create two P-mixes and slave them to the 3-way. Off, 50%, 100% so you don't have to drop all of the flap in at once.

Awesome looking plane! that is the color it should come stock. so good looking and easy to see in the air.

badkarma52,

I have a few planes with flaps as well. One other thing you can do is to mix in a bit of down elevator to the flap switch so when you put the flaps down the elevator goes down a touch to counter for the lift/ballooning. I do this on my A-10 and it works great.

yeah i checked out your blog(saw your posts on rc groups t28 thread)when i said you prob know this,that was an understatement! airliners,jets,biplanes just to name a few!like your flaps an bigger motor,thinking of that one myself.
