Eflite CZ T-28 Maiden flight, 2nd flight, and then.........

Don't need a discription.....the video will say it all.......DAMN IT!!!

[@azzir325]

Despite the mishap at the end that was a magnificent flight with a magnificent plane. Hope the damage was light to none.

[@ctrcflyin2011]

Thanks Rick! I glued the rudder, and stab back on, and got 9 more flights on it before installing the new stab. Looks good as new.

Hi Chris and Lori! nice flying sir! and great camera work Lori, nice save just landing in the tall grass. Thanks for sharing!

[@ctrcflyin2011]

Thanks Bill. Ditching with the gear up in tall grass I thought was my best option, and it all turned out ok.

[@SCRedneckRC-Productions]

Beautiful plane and it flys so nice hated seeing it take a dive in the weeds hopefully it survived

[@ctrcflyin2011]

Thanks Tony! Minor damage, and repairs have been made.

[@ctrcflyin2011]

Thanks Don. Those lines have grabbed all of us at one time or another.

[@reckemroysrc3764]

[@ctrcflyin2011]

Chris great maiden with a little oops. I have my aileron, flaps, and landing gear all color coded for quick connecting of the wings. Jeff

[@ctrcflyin2011]

Thanks Jeff! Good idea on color coding.

[@ctrcflyin2011]

Glad you got us back

[@tughillrc6327]

Well those things happen even if we do not like them, Great flying up till that powerline snagged the rudder robbing your airspeed. This is a very worthy plane to repair and among the best low/mid wing planes out there. Your video and narration was great despite the minor setback at the end. Good Luck on your repairs and look forward to seeing it fly again.

[@ctrcflyin2011]

Thanks Tug! Your rite my friend. All repairs have been made....looks good as new....almost lol

Great flight ALSOME landings what happened at the end was that a power line

[@ctrcflyin2011]

Thanks Terry! Yes it was a power line.

[@SlowFlyer85]

Ohh god so sorry it was doing so good sorry to see that keeps us update how bad it is 😥😞

[@ctrcflyin2011]

I foam tacked the vertical stab, and flew 9 more flights before going home. We ordered a new a new one. Installed the new one yesterday, and Lori touch up painted the leading edges of the wings. Looks almost good as new. I am glad I opted to keep the gear up, and mush it into the tall grass. Could have been worse. It was a sickening sound when it hit the wire for sure.

[@SlowFlyer85]

@@ctrcflyin2011 glad you got more flights did it clip the wire I try slow you tube video down

[@ctrcflyin2011]

@@SlowFlyer85 Yes I clipped the wire. 1 1/2 inch lower i would have missed it.

Hi Chris sorry about the crash I hope you got it fixed up..

[@ctrcflyin2011]

She is good as new. I replaced the vertical stab.

[@smokeymountainrctravisThompson]

O man. Sorry bud. Look like it only got the rudder. Hope nothing happened on the belly landing

[@ctrcflyin2011]

It was just the vertical stab, and rudder. Have already installed a new one. Good as new Travis!

[@capnhardway]

Looks really scale coming in slow

[@ctrcflyin2011]

It sure does.

[@Cadillacstsv06]

Hey Chris and Lori! Man Chris, great flights and landings and what a pissa on the third and clipping the powerline! A great save with pulling the gear up and ditching in the grass. Glad to read that minor repairs and flight worthy. If you fly around powerlines, you have powerline stories to tell lol! Thumbs up for sharing! To help you feel better here's my worst on the second flight with the plane lol: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l56Vh2B5aNt_a80

[@ctrcflyin2011]

So true Fred. A lot of club members have their own stories to tell lol. Now I have my own.

[@JohnVHRC]

Why did he drive it into the ground like that?

[@ctrcflyin2011]

I didn't drive it into the ground. I glided it to the tall errestagrass after clipping an electric wire.

[@JohnVHRC]

@@ctrcflyin2011why not just make a normal landing? It would have flown just fine back to a wheel landing.
