Status: offline 		Well, guys, had my first TY-28 flight and it was an absolute joy - especially for a heli guy... A couple of questions:

1) the COG - any cool tricks for getting this thing's nose down more easily than just shifting the bat forward and radical triim on the tx?

2) a better battery holster - I'm using the little 150 mAh, 25cs - just don't love gooping them up with velcro. Anybody out there craft a more user-friendly holster for batts this size?

Thanks, and wahoo!

Status: offline 		Good idea, Waffleman. I fly an msr x with the same holder/gear frame... might just be the way to go.

On the center of gravity, do you find yours needs a fair amount of elevator trim? If so, is that how you deal with it?

Thanks again...

Status: offline 		these things are designed to be flown with an almost "toy style" radio with button trims. They are not supposed to need much trim.

Status: offline 		I'm shy on the rudder, too, KC, but keep her active as I  noticed when a bird loses altitude in a turn a little opposite rudder will put her nose up and keep her from that maddening loss of altitude. I prefer just mellow stuff right now, as I've about forgotten how to fly these birds from being away from the sport for months. I might drive her into the ground with dumb thumbs if I get fancy. 
Man, this little T-28  is one kick-bird!
