SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 09-Mar-08 18:38 |  | Views : 991 | 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 : 862 | 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 : 830 | High altitude fly over. |
SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 09-Mar-08 15:59 |  | Views : 778 | 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 : 869 | 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 23:13 |  | Views : 971 | 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 : 885 | 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 : 877 | Went to the park today and tried the One Nite 28 with rubber powered FF. |
