Default T-28 Fun

Couldn't stand all the snow, and for some reason it was in the high 40's today with (what I though was) little wind.

Took the new toy plane out... and honestly? Had a blast. Not bad for a BARF!

Its still a stock out of the box ParkZone T-28. Flew it from the parking lot of Sun Microsystems.

Small wheels and snow make for tough landings though. The plane flys well but will require some serious trimming as it loves to climb as soon as it leaves the ground, so you gotta watch it.

Looks good Merlin. How does it handle aerobatics?

Really cool. I got one for Christmas, and need some tips on how to fly it.
First flight, barely got up before it hit the ground.

I got to fly my brother's that he got for Christmas. It is a pretty good flyer. She has kind of alot of power so she can climb really fast right after takeoff.

I have the Black Horse nitro engine version of this plane and it flies very well, the audience at my local club all stop when this bird comes out to fly. We have the advantage of two full sizeversions of these birds flying overhead all the time. These are great little planes and my son and I have the 90 size model on the bench nearly complete. If it flies as well as its little brother will be another crowd pleaser. The big version has flaps and is a very smart looking plane.

If any of you ever get the chance to go for a flight in one of these planes I can highly recommend the experience, the two we have flying here are ex CIA planes that flew in Vietnam, they are powered by a Wright Curtiss 1425hp engine and they are magnificent aircraft. The flight is well worth the money.
