The model is super light, I was afraid it would stall easily with the flaps deployed. Thanks for the comment.

Due to work related issues, I haven’t flown in a while, I’m planning on resuming making videos later this year. Thank you for the comment.

I’m glad to hear that, thank you for the comment

Already did, now it’s pitch perfect. Thank you for the comment.

Thanks, I do appreciate the comments.

I hope it helps you. Thanks for the comment

The plane is very light for it size, that’s why I didn’t want to go any bigger. Thanks for the comment.

@@rookie_rc Yes its just bit over 1kg with 4S battery. I also have 1.2m and that one is 1.75kg with 4S 2200 battery. With 4000 4S is almost 2kg.

I guess you can do them as big as you want, the trick will be adjusting the servo travels at the end. You could follow the same line as the ailerons and shortened the overall length. Let me know how it turns out, I’m curious now

You’re welcome, I’m hoping to make someone’s project a little bit easier

Take a look at one of my latest videos, I sort of explain how to remove the clear plastic to make the shots without distortion. Thank you for the comment.

I’m glad you like it. Thanks for the comment

Take your time, use a new X-Acto, knife blade, and it should go fine. Good luck. Thank you for leaving the comment.

Hi CG again! I have all but the paint to work on the flaps. I don´t know why I got on the idea of sloted flaps and wanted to look for appropriate hinges and found this video to do some very easely ua-cam.com/video/0ZSHqTNo9WE/v-deo.html My only problem remaining would be how to cut the wings or the flaps to have a round edges. If you have any idea it would be welcome!! Maybe cut them standard and after cut a round edge with a hot thin wire ://

Awesome, thank you!

Same. Its to fast for me and when dont slow it down enough i get plane bouncing of the pavement. On grass is ok. I also put wheels from 1.2m Apprentice i didnt like those small wheels

@@ernestostrman5147 and landing on a 3 m wide pavement road with that speed is even more challenging :P Mine had a big crash and after glueing the fuselage she isn´t flying OK need to look for the spinner and motor. So installing flaps isn´t probably a topic anymore :(

@@franciscoduran3688 oh shame. I did learn to slow it down but where i live is very windy so i dont fly it much cause wind is always hitting the plane from a side and that makes it very hard to land. Am just practicing landing with apprentice and fly T28 only when wind is low(i consider low 15-20km/h).

@@franciscoduran3688 am landing on real airplane strip 2.5km long but it seems am done with that. One car company leased the runway and put a fence around it. They let me fly when they are not testing cars which sucks cause i need to put planes in car, drive 15 mins to get to the runway and fins out they are testing. Last 2 times i was waiting 1.5h for them to be done with testing so i can use the runway. 😪

@@ernestostrman5147 Hi Ernest, thanks for your answer :) I crashed my T-28 just because of being silly and trying to do a low pass at high speed. I had a short circuit in my brain and changed elevator up for down hahaha It doesn´t look so bad after the repairs although. But I suppose the motor angle isn´t correct or something is having high vibrations. I was able to land her safe only with SAFE on. It´s a shame you can´t fly on that place everytime you want. That was probably super! But don´t you have a small road or something like that? The Apprentice probably also can do good grass landings!? I wanted to start with the apprentice but found a cheap Timber. I have been glueing her a lot but now I learned to fly better and the CG is also better (pretty nose heavy) and I can do all kinds of stuff with her. But the best are smooth landings and touch downs on the evening with lights :) I have a couple of other planes too. A Max Thurst Ruckus that is from the UK and like a trainer 3D plane. It also sails pretty good, but because of that landings are more difficult. It just don´t looses elevation :P And the landing gear does not forgive like the STOL planes. I also have a second hand Draco waiting for maiden (landing gear was broken from first owner) and now also a very old but cool Mini FuntanaX from E-Flite. This is balsa and super light. A really good 3D plane. Another young guy from the field has it and recommended it me. I´m nervous to fly that thing. That´s all about 3D flying and landing must be perfect. Also extremely wind susceptible :S :S I hope you do good flights on weekend! We have a little competition for acrobatics on the field. For beginners and pros :)

I usually do, but in this particular field, I got to clear some really tall trees, right before the runway starts. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment

Thank you, good info, appreciate the comment

I know, I realize it after the fact. I was trying to burry the servo in the thickest part of the wing, the further out you place it, the thinner the wing gets. Learning experience for the next Mod. Thank you for the comment.

@Rookie RC Model Aviation yeah I made my comment BEFORE I finished watching your vid and saw you said exactly what I was thinking. Where and what size servo horns were they from?

@Rookie RC Model Aviation so why didn't you go full span flaps?

@Rookie RC Model Aviation its all a work in progress right?

@Rookie RC Model Aviation the nice part about full span flaps( like the real deal) is that you can always reduce flap settings of you have too much. If you need more than what you currently have set up you have to mod again. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Of course this particular plane has real light wing loading so I don't think it's would be a problem but of course I run mine on 2200 mah 4s and added scale strut covers and doors( no retracts), bigger wheels and lights.

Just added the list of materials in the description. thanks for the comment.

@@rookie_rc thank you!!

Thanks, I'll try it next time. Thank you for the comment.

I’ll try it next time. Thanks for the comment.

Great tip! I'll try it next time. Thanks for the comment.

I did, I flew it off camera one more time and got the % adjusted. Thanks for the comment.

Got it, I appreciate the feedback. I’ll try to lower the volume during the flight video. I am not the most eloquent person, especially when I’m concentrating on a maiden flight. That’s one of the reasons I put music during flight time. Thank you very much for the comment.

Nicely put, thank you for the comment

I consider taking the flaps all the way to the ailerons but with the model being so light, I was afraid it will make it unstable with it fully deployed. Thank you very much for the comment

It has become one of my favorite planes, Thanks for the comment.

I ordered an additional canopy/battery hatch, removed the clear plastic windows to prevent distortion, cut the foam from the bottom to remove the pilot and installed a GoPro mount instead.

@@rookie_rc Cool thanks

You’re right, it’s coming in hot because I got a clear 65 foot trees right before I hit the runway. I tried it on flat ground and it does slow down to a crawl. Hopefully, I’ll make a video on that one too. Thank you very much for the comment.

Sorry you feel that way. Thanks for the comment.

It works great. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks ✌

Already did, I need to edit the video. I'll post it some time this week. Thank you for the comment.

Here you go Rick, I made time to edit the video.

oh yeah,,, and pavement helps

Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been able to make it work again, I've tried everything, now the motors won't even start. the original problem was that motors 1 & 3 were turning at half the speed of 2 & 4. Now it's just a hangar Queen . Thanks for the comment.

The best part using a 4S battery is that you have the choice of flying it nice and scale if you want, but having the option of punching it to get out of trouble when you need it. Thanks for the comment.

@@rookie_rc very true, power can get you out of trouble.

Thanks, we definitely have to get together and take a trip to Homestead,

Thanks, I keep forgetting to do that.

Thanks, I'll try that next time. I did increase the aileron throws to see if I can get a better roll rate. I only used electrical tape on the fuselage to give it some color, Paint usually don't last on plastic. Thank you for the comment.

I'll try to make an other video soon, I don't have a camera man, so it may not be all that better.

Thanks

I know, the space where I’m flying it’s kind of limited. Thank you very much for your comment

Yes, just make sure is not the mini or nano. the one you mention won't work. try this vittoriadream.com/product/orangerx-r615x-dsm2-dsmx-compatible-6ch-2-4ghz-receiver-w-cppm/ if you have a Spektrum transmitter, the link above would work. Here is another option: www.horizonhobby.com/product/ar410-dsmx-4-channel-sport-receiver/SPMAR410.html

Hey Pat, I found some still available on Amazon, Here is the link. www.amazon.com/HobbyKing-OrangeRx-Compatible-2-4GHz-Receiver/dp/B07BSCV4H8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=273F1M2AYWIS0&keywords=hobbyking+orangerx+r615x&qid=1649773580&s=toys-and-games&sprefix=%2Ctoys-and-games%2C132&sr=1-1
