Just got a dx6i upgrade from a dx4e hopefully this will help smoothness. set all my d/r expo at 70% +30 for landing does this sound good? havent tested because weather

Too much expo. Your controls will feel like they are connected by rubber bands. Dial back the expo to 15% max.

Ya they are a little soft will start with +15 expo first test. i like good response but landing i rudder all over the place

i just shot about 35 landings today w/ a DLE 20 powering a Pulse 125.....most with a crosswind - a strong one at times....you have to practice, practice, practice!

That is completely possible with that small of an airplanehttp://interinsurances.com/huht.jpghttp://newfinancehelp.com/hu3e.jpg

I would add "practice, practice, practice doing the right things, the right techniques. I have seen many fly touch and go's over and over, and never once did they try to correct for drift. Their practice, practice, practice let them ingrain bad habit patterns.

The more you practice, the more at ease you will become, and the more at ease you become, the more proficient your will get on the sticks allowing less of your $10.00 of attention span to be spent just trying to get around the field, then you will have some change left over to spend on things like correcting for drift if that is your desire. So as the others have stated in here, just practice, practice, practice, the right thing is burning gas/fuel while expanding your own threshholds when your ready. Most importantly is to take your time and have lots of fun along the way.

Playing in the wind can be a great teacher of all kinds of things like correcting for drift, but only when you are ready. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oN0r...ature=youtu.be

yup.... (note the phrase practice with a purpose :) )
no need for expo either.... (until you're 3D'ing or flying precision aerobatics) it's your fingers, and not the computer in the transmitter that will make your airplane fly smoothly.

if you practice smooth precise flying, you'll soon find yourself flying smoothly and precisely without needing to think about it.
:D

I have your exact T-28. It's absolutely the favorite plane I own, and it more or less was my trainer. I did train on other trainer high wing planes, but the T-28 was just very comfortable for me from the first flight.

Practice your approach and getting your landings set up properly. If it doesn't feel right or look good to you pull back up go around and try again. 50' may be a little tight depending on what conditions you have to set up the approach (trees or other objects in the way). If you have clear approach 50' its doable. Of course when she's out of juice it's time to land her somewhere!
