parkzones new ultra micro t-28
Saburo Sakai – yes its awesome! J been flying like this forover 2 years now, you can check my other youtube vids for all the other planesI FPV with.
I have a dingo spotter with me at all times!
Aircraftfreak15 – Thanks Jits not really that expensive once you have the main parts, here is a breakdownof the stuff I use.
Fatshark goggles – hobbywireless.com - $355 (only need these once...)
Video Transmitter – fpvhobby.com - $42
Video Receiver – fpvhobby.com - $53
Micro Camera – fpvhobby.com - $74
So in the plane I have the video transmitter, camera andbattery plug all wired up together, it takes the standard 3.7v 1cell lipo
Then I use another lipo as the main pack
On the ground I have the video receiver with my goggles andvideo recorder plugged in.
I actually have 2 receivers and run them through this thing called an oraclewhich picks the better video signal out of the 2 receivers, with this I can run2 different antennas and get a really good signal all the time.
Let me know if you have any more questions J

I cut the foam out from under the landing gear. The plane now sits in the box with the gear on the bottom of the cardboard box.
It still sat a bit too high to put the two pieces of foam down on the nose and in front of the tail without pushing down on the plane. So...
I built up the place where the two foam pieces sit with layers of foam tape (2 for the front, 4 for the rear). Now when I set the foam over the plane it doesn't push down when I close the lid.
Hold it nice and snug.
I too believe that our birds need their proper sleep to perform at their best, and by all means a SAFE, secure hangar in case there's an enemy airstrike against us when we're on the ground!. I think your modifications afford protection from even the dreaded CAT ATTACK, when Doctor Fuzzy decides to leap up onto the airplane box you're giving too much attention to!
5.7w

I was using a Commonsenserc 150mah battery.
In order to use the Watts Up on this single cell battery, I had to use an external battery to power the meter (per the directions). An old 2S battery for BCX worked great. The connector connected right up to the power input pins on the Wattsup.
T-28's a great little bird! Enjoy!
How is the crash worthiness of this, I saw that bonk on the post in that video, so it looks like its fairly tough, like the Blade mCX and mSR. I'm looking for BNF to use with my DX6i. I also have bumpy fields in my backyard, I have over 5 acres to fly from without having to drive somewhere, so can this be hand launched? After I get my "legs" back my next plane will be either the Corsair, or the P 51 with retracts.
and land it a couple of times and the last time it took one of the main off. glueing it back on and getting ready fly again.
You will like that big battery. I only fly with it now. I was getting 4-6 minute flights with the small ones, get 20 plus minutes with this one. I plan to buy another and use my small batts with my P-51.
Enjoy.
Three solutions to this:
1.)FPV like RC fella, which is a radical change, indeed an entire game change. I could fly the plane to Dallas.
2.) the Telemetry/ flight orientation equipped transmitters. Spektrum have one? I'll look. I know Futaba's got one...
3.) Keepthetiny bird within 150-200 feet at all times .
Where I fly I also fly fish, and caught this pilgrimafter three good flights and three good landings with one Thunder Power 160 25C:
She's a redfish, Scieanops ocellatus, andabout the best friend a man can have on this island. I let her go as usual.
Fly on and get telescopic eye implant for micro flying outdoors.
Mine is in the shop getting ready to be repaired, picked up a new prop shaft, then Ican fly it again. Going to work on it Tuesday, and put a Sukhoi prop on the Corsair and see if that makes any difference. As far as batteries goes,I tried fitting the 500 MAH battery from the 120 SR and the plane barely flew, it was too heavy. Going to fit the one from the mCPx and see how it does.

No, I don't work for HH, but I stand willing to learn.....
.
Edit: one battery charged in time to get one more flight in before it got too dark. Final results, nearly 15 minutes flight time on one of those 200MAH 25C cells. Ihad about 6 at full throttle and 8 more at half throttle before the ESC low voltage kicked in, so I shut it down and glided it in. What a blast to fly, each one is getting better and better.
Two flights in wind today and two actual touch-downs to rolling stops. I must remember to takea throw-down barn with me tomorrow and see if I can equal your accuracy and smashher square-on!Don't think I'm quite there yet but a man's got to try.
This is one great little bird.
Godspeed!
However I tried to fly it this morning and stupid willow tree grabbed it right out of the sky. It got hung up on its nose wheel, but I got it down minus one nose wheel.
I think I need new glasses, the tree looked a lot further away than it actually was.
