Graham Scott 2

Hi John, I would say that your T28 is about the same weight as mine. Interesting that you fitted a 4S. One feature of mine is that it struggles into the air and then has to be flown above 75% throttle. Landing is tense. If the speed falls off a nasty stall can ensue. Maybe 4S is the way forward?

I also have an Arrows T28 (John Tee will know this because we are in the same club) and I thought it might be useful to outline my experiences. Firstly, I should say that this is my first war bird so pilot error is undoubtedly significant. However, there are shortcomings with this model that concern me. The first is the CG. I worked mine out from scratch because the instructions were inaccurate. I finally got the model into the air but damaged the nose wheel gear on the grass and had to uprate and replace that. Finally, and most significant I think is that my aircraft seems to be way overweight. Arrows state that the flying weight should be 1135g. I was, initially, flying it with a 3200mah battery to help with the cg but the model weighed in at 1500g with that. The best I can manage with a 2200mah battery and significant surgery to reduce weight is 1380g. That's an improvement but I think it is still heavy and I am sure that landings will continue to be interesting. I would have to say that I am disappointed with this model. Anyone else got any views.
