let's give this one a try!
BillParker18-Aug-10 12:23
OOOOH! I hope you already know how to fly!
BriandKilby18-Aug-10 13:25
i got my wings before i was building, but let's hope i retained that information. it's been years except for that little park flyer i got.
FLYBOYZ18-Aug-10 18:52
This is a excellent flyer you do need low wing experience and alieron experience.The plane has no bad stalling habbits.I still have one its my favortit fighter and the T28 is a excellent flyer.Need a good runway it likes to glide along ways because its very light and has alot of lift on the wings.You can cut the thorthle and stay up along time on the F4U the T28 has slender wings good for windy days.Scines its been awhile since you have flown get someone that alot of resent airtime to trim it out for you.Ihope you enjoy it as much as I have flown my for tow years and love it Good flying!

Forgot to tell you the silowet is horroible on this plane make it a sunny day when flying other than that its fantastic
FLYBOYZ18-Aug-10 19:03
Oh yea if you really want too get crazzy get the 3d thypoon that park zone has but I like the brushless out runner on the F4u the best its got the power you need

thanks alot fly.
BriandKilby19-Aug-10 12:17
fly, i'm having trouble understanding all the motor/transmitter jargon, i know how to use them, but i don't know how to set them. you're help would be appreciated.
FLYBOYZ19-Aug-10 17:52
Should be pre set! turn on transmitter first then plug battery into receiver and wait for three short beeps if not redo steps!Now if you asking about resetting receiver go strickly by manual or take it to nerest local hobby dealer.Should not be no reason to reset receiver.Now you can get the specktum 6 transmitter to operate another spectrum receiver in another aircraft with out changing cristals I will explain if you like its verey simple
FLYBOYZ19-Aug-10 18:12
No the specktrum dx 6i is the heli its the one that you can set for tow different aircrafts its a small computer.Iam thinking of the small dsm2 The corsair comes with the LP5DSM propotional 5 channel specktum this goes strickly by the the beeps you here when reseting tow longs following by three shorts. If not unplug redo steps again

thanks fly, do you know what the 74% cutoff is?
BriandKilby20-Aug-10 12:27
i'm going to take it out tomorrow and see how she or i does
FLYBOYZ20-Aug-10 13:03
The 74% shut down is your receiver and motor battery.Its to keep you from draning it to low.I fly for five mintues and sat up for landing if you have iyt fully charge this gives you power if you need to abourt your landing you can go around plus you don,t want to get your battery too low on voltage it hurts lipos batteries.Think your should not go below 9v.When Iam just floating around at high alitude I go 8 min but this leaves no room for error its a one time landing.Key is practice aporaches up high until you commit yourself for landing The plane is very stable on landing but do hkeep a little speed on landing until you get a feeling for it!

didn't get off the ground, the grass was too tall and discharge was rear not to the side. we tried launching it but that didn't work, broke the landing gear off. have to get a side discharge mower.
