E-flite T-34 Mentor Maiden Flight/Crash

Took out the T-34 today. Plane flies awesome but I suck @ landing. This is my first full size model but I've flown alot. I should know better from overshooting landings in Realflight G3 all the time :(

The plane flies great and I've already purchased another to replace this one while I fix it. I didn't use the flaps in the trainer location so that's why it's flying quite fast.

Big thanks to my friend Noel for helping me trim it all out. And Joe for filming. This was filmed in front of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena CA.

would this be a good plane for a very good two channel flyer?

@zyx514 I would learn on a Parkzone Trojan first. Balsa repairs compared to the ease of gluing foam back together doesn't compare. I'd say after flying the Trojan for 20-30 flights you'd be able to handle the Mentor.

can you add full function flaps to it??

[pigeonfarmboy]

Yep the servo spot is there and the linkages are included, you just have to cut open the covering.

sORRY for your loss. its heartbreaking to see such a beautiful bird with broken wings. you should do an update on the plane if you got it repaired.

she did seem to handle nicely and fly gracefully.

Wrong info, your paying for a great radio plus stick & balsa construction and nice covering rather than foam. No r/c airplane review jobs waiting for you.

Nice good flying airplane. Sorry about the crash. Looks like it could be repaired. Hope so. I've been there and done that. Thanks for taking the time to make and publish the video. I enjoyed it.
