  • Looks extremely nice...any flight vids yet?

  • Thanks

  • You can view more mods I've done to this plane at my Blogazine site: Minneflyer

  • how much effect do the flaps have?

  • They make a huge difference - and that's not an exageration! When coming in for a landing, I can hit the flaps and the plane will come to a crawl. Usually the airspeed is so slow, the landings only take a couple of feet. Plus, the flaps make it look much more scale!

  • ooo and one more question, what is that prop. (brand, pitch) i need a triple blade prop for true scale flight.

  • Hey - thanks for the comments! I've really enjoyed these skis, but they do get really brittle in the cold. I've gone through 2 pair already from prop-strikes and dorked landings. Nevertheless, they keep me up in the air when snow's-a-fallin!

    The prop is a Master Air Screw 9x7 3-blade. I've heard that the 10x7 adds a bit more thrust, so I might give that a try when the weather warms up.

    Take it easy.

  • Wow Bugalooon, I have them on my SuperCub and thought they were great. I did crack one on a bad landing. But after some glue they were fine again. They are great fun on the ice. Pretty good on hard pack snow.

  • I had those same ski's on my plane last year and they SUCK on the snow, cheap garbage

  • Nice job on the flap mod

  • Very nice job on the flaps. Do you think the T-28 really needs them? Mine really slows down to a crawl on approach and won't tip stall at all. I've been working on retracts ,but the nose gear has really been a hassle, and 2 more servos is adding excess weight. Good looking flaps guy!

  • and skis?

  • is that i tri-blade?

  • what is the best way to make flaps... i mean like making the actual surface, seperating and reattching the flap itself. btw, did you use the parkzone servos the rest of the plane used?
