| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 09-Mar-08 18:42 |  | | Views : 750 | | Despite the forecast for showers, we have a sunny afternoon! So I rushed back to the park and launched with the 5.5" prop using the same battery chage as before. This time thermals helped it get very high. Flight time was probably around a minute. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 09-Mar-08 18:39 |  | | Views : 780 | | All repaired and ready to fly! In addition to the 5.5" prop I used before, I want to try out the 7" and 4" props shown here. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 09-Mar-08 18:38 |  | | Views : 868 | | A couple hard, nose first, landings and I had to return home for repairs. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 09-Mar-08 16:02 |  | | Views : 736 | | There is a tendency for the 1/8" wing incidence block to fall out, sending the plane into a dive that ultimately broke the engine free of its mount and sent the plane back to the hanger. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 09-Mar-08 16:00 |  | | Views : 712 | | High altitude fly over. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 09-Mar-08 15:59 |  | | Views : 662 | | Just launched - starting to climb as it circles around. Flights are more smooth and not the jack rabbit jump out of the gate of a tightly wound rubber motor. |

| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 09-Mar-08 15:57 |  | | Views : 757 | | Keep your rubber, lube, and winders. Just 3-4 minutes on the charger and it's ready to go. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 08-Mar-08 23:16 |  | | Views : 827 | | Ready to fly at the park tomorrow if I can get there before the rain does. Weight is 91.7 grams, 30 grams heavier than on rubber power. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 08-Mar-08 23:15 |  | | Views : 861 | | KP-01 motor is retained with three 2-56 nylon screws. The holes were drilled and taped, a little thin CA wicked into the wood, then taped again. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 08-Mar-08 23:13 |  | | Views : 839 | | 3x110 mAh NiCd and 5 amp fuse (goes into the yellow socket) acts as a switch. Fuselage also had 4" cut off of the front. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 08-Mar-08 18:36 |  | | Views : 753 | | These flights are all done with hand winding as the winder broke and CA wouldn't hold it together. I managed to get some 15-20 second flights and then decided my poor wrist and finger were tired of winding and it was time for electric FF conversion. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 08-Mar-08 18:33 |  | | Views : 747 | | Went to the park today and tried the One Nite 28 with rubber powered FF. |
