I've tried to keep CG rougly the same... but now the two mains are infront of the CG (plus the servos for the flaps) i had to move the battery back into the main compartment to make things work out....

indeed, but I don't care about scale on this bird... the paintjob I've got is completely fictional already. I've moved the gear mounts to just infront of the main wing spar which seems about the...

RE: Parkzone North American T-28 Trojan

Yeah I think the sacrificial approach is probably best - I reinforce mine with a bit of epoxy and it seems to hold up fine to small knocks taxiing for example.

I've deccided to do something a...

RE: Parkzone North American T-28 Trojan

I went down to 15% mix on the aileron/rudder - I think 30% was too much and it gave some messy aileron rolls.

I put the ailerons to one away from maximum throw (purely because on maximum the...

RE: Parkzone North American T-28 Trojan

disabling the BEC is easy - you can just unclip the middle wire from the ESC that goes to the reciever (the plug has a little retaining clip which you can carefully pry up and release the middle...

RE: Parkzone North American T-28 Trojan

RE: Parkzone North American T-28 Trojan

Well, just recieved my spare 2200mah lipo, my 10x7E APC prop and adaptor, and my DX6i and hooked it all up - so many options!

Okay, I rewired in my UBEC just to see if that helps and ran through most of a battery with the plane benched. Power between full and half, putting flaps up and down, moving controls all over and no...

RE: Parkzone North American T-28 Trojan

Yup. Well i didn't cut it, but i disconnected and insulated it... same difference.

The new ESC has a 3A BEC however, so i haven't even been trying to run the standalone BEC - that isn't wired...
