E-FLITE CARBON Z T-28 MAIDEN WITH A MISTAKE! by Fat Guy Flies RC

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Lets just say the wind and my mistake made this an INTERESTING maiden!! In retrospect I did not need flaps at all but I showed it can be done!!

[@dirkcools]

Great big plane man Nice landing by the way 👌👌👌👌

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks!!

[@geofkane2365]

What a fabulous looking and flying plane. This was great viewing. Great commentary.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks so much!!!

[@geofkane2365]

Boss, I velcro tape my cockpit covers on to give the fuse a bit of strength in case of a bump! That's just for me, though. What wind speed was that? I'd guess 15-20 mph?

[@M4rkmcc21]

Well done on a risky maiden! Thats a lot of money up in that nasty weather! One thing thats holding me back buying this is i really wish it came with proper quick connectors and click in wings or the Cessner 150T system.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Yes I was disappointed with them not making factory quick connects also. And thanks!

[@DronemanJoeRc]

those hatches dont seem to like you..lol overall its never a bad day when your flying a t28. the best bird I love to fly. I did a flight on my FMS version about a month ago and I have to say it was one of my best landings ever. like butter.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

The t28 airframe has a tendency to be naturally stable and lends itself good control.

[@davidhutchins7925]

I think only half flaps in all that wind for landing. Then it wouldn't float so bad on short final. I have a private pilots license, and that's what I do on windy approaches.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

You are right. But it ended up okay.

[@itzjoeylo4501]

Two ejected battery hatches in one day…! That’s got to be a record lol

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Well at least I recovered one of them!!!

[@billlester3088]

Great content, enjoyed the video, now could you elaborate with more details for the clear coat you used, i.e. mfg., where purchased. Thank you.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks and here is a video for that.: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5m0f6OFlLxle9k purchase:www.amazon.com/Minwax-255554444-Polycrylic-Protective-Finishes/dp/B000BZZ3S8/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2S0BFNCO4IKBL&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.I9L6PpWD0X3dnUM2zxvXaK3ivuYzB1vECgIbN8tzOl7IdfuPEaxm6UdgdDjQzFHrFXDexvlcAu0j6Nqrukw7vJcpveMjsaD-54LJTSSC4eiFiIbv_59MqWRTl_Iy0KmMcNd2PK3rS7GqteDyQ0m45oFD_AVljT7a-wAwVhQYo0UHzTmyaVIlt-0fnY-a5EQWB2rEn-MorwNbAx6raN1Ohcdp9JfN5N7TFn4mqbe5aNQO629q-qwgUsmlzBaxvmAkNSY8txNOsZOk0oX4bPqQPzCtWze6tmEnoy6tU5g6EpY._5nGFpe-UA4qxx3n_kaUldJ35_razrmlLJ5D0hpVbzE&dib_tag=se&keywords=minwax%2Bpolycrylic%2Bclear%2Bgloss&qid=1714161084&sprefix=minwax%2Bpolycrylic%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-5&th=1

[@RichieRich980215]

Greg, nice job in that wind for a maiden! Does the cowl flaps doors open like the other version did when the flaps are used? I seen it before on the red and white Livery, but nobody hasn't mentioned it since on reviews.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Thanks,no the cowl flaps are not functional. That was on the v1 of the fms t28 from a few years ago.

[@EJ-74]

NIIIIICE 👌🏻

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Very!!

[@cooltube]

Great job Gregg. Can I ask….. when using a 3 position switch for hi/Lo rates: high:100% expo:10% Lo:70% expo 5% what do I set the middle position to? 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@r1m.dog78]

You've got your numbers a little backwards 😀, but all good. With high rates, your expo will be lower generally, so you may have a setup like: High: 100%, 0-5% expo Medium: 80, 10-15% expo Low: 70%, 20-25% expo Those numbers are just a guide. Your actual setup will depend on the plane and how it's setup mechanically, and how you prefer it. Good luck.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

When I first start flying a new model i set it up by the manual. Eflite called for only 2 rates 100% throws over 10% expo for high and 70%throws over 5% expo for low. On my g switch I just inhibit the middle position.

[@cooltube]

@@r1m.dog78 hi there, thanks for that and I see what your saying but like Greg says, the book calls for it to be the other way around 100% -10 expo and 70%-5 expo. I’m a little thrown now🤔🇬🇧

[@r1m.dog78]

@@cooltube My apologies... please ignore my comment. 😀

[@richardwilson8271]

Again coming in to slow.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Yeah this was from the same day just an hour later.
