Great Job guys... Job Well Done! Really enjoyed the episode, but one correction to put forward.
The T-28 from Parkzone is one of my favorites that I have a spare one still in the box for when the plane goes into the final rekit phase of a/c history.
Josh Bixler stated that he has never seen the landing gear come off with out severe damage to the wing. I must say that this a/c is extremely durable. I have knocked my gear off a couple of times before I epoxied them in, never any wing damage. Me and a friend were both flying the Parkzone T-28's and we had a Head On Collision. Took one of his gear off (never found, but spares close by) and took a chunk out of my wing. Both planes made successful landings, and were back in the air in 10 minutes.
Thanks Josh Bixler (and Chad) for allowing Josh Scott to fly. It was good to see his progress... I wish some of my earlier landings were as good as his with the Trojan. Congrats to Josh Scott.
If I had to get rid of all but one of my planes, I think it would have to keep this one. It flies great, and better than a timex... "Takes a Lick'in and Keeps On Tick'in". See below for damage mine has sustained.
From Head on collison with another Trojan, Prop took chunk out of wing. Both planes continued to fly and landed without further damage. Spare Parkzone foam from other incident
repair cost was $0.00
Landing Gear had trouble staying on with my early days of flying. EPOXY solved the problem. The original glue just did not seem to hold up.
I had a servo failure that caused one aileron to go full deflection and cart wheeled ripping the wing off the plane. All foam was saved, glued back in place, ready to fly next day with New Servo.
Landing on a paved runway, I many times would scrape the wing tips, Found some wing skids from HK, glued them in place, and worked great ever since.
BTW, My Trojan is about 3 years old, and was my 2nd plane (Gift from friend). Plane still files just as good as the day in came out of the box.
