Awesome. It is great to see what a pro flyer can do with one of the hobby's favorite planes.

Chip's second flight of the day using Mike Greear's seriously overpowered T-28.

Not everyone in the US has a "proper runway" . We mow the weeds down in the summer and pack the snow with a drag in the winter. Our runway is best in the winter because the snow fills all the holes caused by the moose prints. The area floods twice a year during extreme high tides. We flew today, the strip was very smooth but it was between +1 and +10 F all day. It was our first annual Chilly Fun Fly with lots of homemade Chili and corn bread.
The first thing I do with every plane is purchase some Dan Brown 4" wheels.
Fly hard and land soft!

I got to maiden my new T-28 this morning. What a nice flying plane!! I got mine used for 50 BUCKS!! It came with a 30 AMP E-Flight ESC. Is this the stock ESC? I was a little worried about the ESC being able to run all 4 servos with out a bigger BEC. I currently am running the factory prop 9.5 X 7.5 which gave me a 16 minute flight and I didn't even hit the LVC. I think I'll try the 10 inch DD prop next.

My standard setup for power and speed is a Turnigy 35-48 1000Kv motor with a 60A Turnigy PLush ESC powered by Zippy 3S 3000mAh 25C packs. I can swing an 11x8.5 or a 12x6 depending on what I want to do that day
