So I ordered a Parkzone T-28 Trojan last week to fill my need for a park flyer for after work flying during the week. I received it last night and promptly put my battery on the charger and assembled the plane. I decided for the first flight I should go out to the club field instead of the park, just to be safe, and my friend (who is a better flyer than me, he's been doing this for years) came with me with his electric plane. It sure felt wierd to just grab a plane and a transmitter and head out the field, I felt like I was missing something.

Well, we went out to the field, and it was a success, sort of. Took off and it was a lot different than the trainer and out of trim a ways. I think the CG was off as well because the elevator was really sensitive. I decided to hand it off to my buddy that is a lot better flyer than I am. He trimmed it out and flew it for a little bit and then landed and then it was my turn. So I took off and started to get the hang of the electric and a low wing plane. Keep in mind this was my first low wing, first electric, and I have not flown in over a month due to life catching up with me. I figured that was a recipe for disaster.

The only thing that went wrong was one of the wheel holder brackets popped off on a less than perfect landing, so we just kept taking it off with only one wheel and flying it around and practicing emergency landings until the battery died, lol. It was a great trip with my first electric and I really had fun. I can tell that I am really going to like this plane.

I was playing with it last night and I noticed that I had installed the battery in the wrong place. I put it back farther than the manual shows it, so that was the cause of the CG issues. But now that I have that all figured out, I can't wait to go out again tonight to fly it.
