| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 09-Mar-08 18:39 |  | | Views : 803 | | 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 : 896 | | 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 : 765 | | 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 : 741 | | High altitude fly over. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 09-Mar-08 15:59 |  | | Views : 689 | | 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 : 786 | | Keep your rubber, lube, and winders. Just 3-4 minutes on the charger and it's ready to go. |

| SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 09-Mar-08 13:58 |  | | Views : 1205 | | All covered in new paper from Easy Build using the glue stick method. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 08-Mar-08 23:16 |  | | Views : 855 | | 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 : 890 | | 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 : 871 | | 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 : 782 | | 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 : 777 | | Went to the park today and tried the One Nite 28 with rubber powered FF. |
