Hey, been quiet here for almost a week! I am glad to report that I took my T-28 out for the fourth time today, and it was a GREAT day!!! I got four flights and all were good landings. The setup is like my previous post 6 days ago. The only difference is I put the Tower Trainer 40 nose gear on the T-28 and it worked perfectly today. No nose gear failures like the previous two times I took the plane out. The plane sits pretty level and take off runs are long and smooth. Landings are so pretty with flaps. My landings with this plane are improving. I learned on gliders (decades ago), and down elevator on a glider on final typically means picking up speed and lengthening the glide ratio. It is really different to dial in some flaps and then push down on a pretty healthy downward path, and yet gain no speed! Very fun to then level out a foot or so above the runway, ease off on throttle and just settle onto the grass. I like to taxi back almost to the pit tarmac and then dial the flaps back out real cool like, haha. Nobody's watching, but I am! I had one dead stick today, but it was ground crew error...I forgot to refuel between flights, lol. I landed out in the sod farm without flaps and had to walk a 100 yards to fetch the plane. I want to take a video of my plane flying soon and post it for you guys to see. I have to wait for my son to come home and shoot the video while I fly. Oh, the Saito 82 runs great, and I added a plastic tube to drip the crankcase vent oil further from the cowl...see pic. It reduces the amount of gunk on the plane's belly, and the left wing really significantly! I admit it doesn't look that cool but out on the runway you can't see it at all. Take care guys! Jon
