I use Sikaflex 241. It dries very hard but can be cut with an exacto knife for removal if required. It is a marine adhesive sealant available from some hardware stores and shipchandlers.

Weather permitting....ha ha haaaaa. I will give the big Trojan a fly at A51 tomorrow. Franks and Georges both fly well so Im not stressed about the performance, however if the motor doesn't cut the m...

Hi Dave After our discussion last night. I completed my T 28, lots of mucking around but replaced the rooted gear door servo, all working sweet know. I amp tested the standard ESC with 2 brand new (...

I will be keen to hear your finding on the motor test Steve. I have as a matter of course already replaced the ESC in my Trojan to a Turnigy Plush 60. When I get it finished I will do a few ground t...

Jees Dave thats a great idea... I wonder where you got that brainstorm from...... So I take it from reading the above that you dont need to borrow the 4S batteries for the weekend. How is the sub st...

I finished my Trojan last night at 11 pm, dropped in the battery to test everything and when I hit the retract down switch everything worked except the right hand door just went "click,click,click,cli...

I have to agree, the idea of having variable flap positioning might sound practical and would be if you were sitting in the aircraft and had that seat of the pants sensitivity as you do in a light air...

I also pulled mine out of the box last night. And quickley decided that this aircraft would require a few tiny but crutial upgrades to pass my G load tests (also know as aerobatic flight). I have cut...

I know mate I did that. I ordered 2 x 1350kv motors, 2 x 1850kv motors and 2 x Changesun 90's. The 2 x 1850s were in plastic padded bags the 1350's were in the boxes. I labeled them with a texta beca...

Looks good mate.... how the hell did you get a 90mm EDF into a 70mm EDF fuse???

I'm sure it will be quick enough Steve... you know you don't have to have 17 to 1 power in everything you own mate. Most quick EDF's are 0.7 to 1 some of HK's are only 0.5 to 1 and they fly fine.

I will check my manual for the C of G when I get home this afternoon Steve!

Looking good Steve. Thanks for all the preliminary work mate. Now I can steal your idea ha ha... although to be honest I have done a lot of reasearch on these things and was planning on doing somethi...

Mine is like a HK back order. Its coming.... Iv'e got everthing I need to complete it... I just need to find the time. Throw those bloody retracts/landing gear in the bin Steve... that's how I am ke...

Well hello Vipernauts its time to get the lead out and get these beasties airborne. After an absolute shitload of maybe this and maybe that, I finally got around to ordering all the goodies for my Vi...

What EDF and Motor are you running in yours Rob? I have looked at a few options but have not made my mind up yet!

That sounds great Rob, but here's a tip, take over the dinning room table like I do and banish everyone from said room until work is complete, a bloke can't be working on this aircraft on the back pa...

I use a stanley knife which does the trick but I think the cutter they are talking about is like a small pipe cutter similar to what plumbers use.

Mine is still having a little rest in the box it arriverd in. I pulled it out for a preliminary inspection and personal think tank but after that I put it away. I am working on a new build ethic whi...

Hey Steve Can you do me a big favour and weigh the beastie with batteries, I'm doing some sums and having a better idea of take off weight will be very helpful. I know you are running 7S, I will be ...

You dont have to justify your build time to me Steve, and no your not confusing me, your just a fussy bastard like me who likes to cross all the T's and dot your I's. The biggest issue with an aircra...

I've already got half a dozen MG 939's on the shelf so its good that we are all on the same wavelength with our servos. I have not had a really good look at the placement of things yet but I too am t...

Thanks for the heads up Paul, What is wrong with the Change Sun housings? I wouldn't use one but am a little curious. I have a bit more research to do yet, but I dont mind dropping a few grams of th...

I have only just unpacked mine. Yipee another Jet. I am probably going to put a 70 mm Wemo in it and run it on 6S, although the new 70mm 10 blade Extreme fan from Extreme RC does look very tempting. ...

Nice work Mick, Looking forward to seeing the finished product in the air.

I have experimented with just about every possible aileron attitude change you could make to a PZ T28, just because I could because it's such a stable predictablel platform. I agree with all of the a...

My beastie is now running a new Turnigy G25 570kv motor on a custom made carbon fibre engine mount with a 10 x 7 prop, running a 60 amp Plush ESC. I'm running it on 4S with a 3300 Nano pack, everythi...

Yeh right....... as you said KV Bahahahahahahahahaha

Thanks for doing the math Steve, I figured that, and plan on running the 10 x 8, it will be working well within itself so it will churn out a shit load of torque without any effort. "Meesalikadis"

Yeh Steve, the PZ Trojan is a lot like my stomach, it always seems to cope with abuse, it doesn't matter what type of beer or how much I stuff into it, it always seems to say " is that the best you go...

Performance Update: For those of you that saw it, you know what sort of performance I was getting out of the HK G15 in my Trojan...... well..... that all came to a smokey end this afternoon when the ...

Hi Guys Just stumbled accross this on E Bay while looking at E flite stuff. If anyone is thinking about retrofitting their T28 with an Eflite Power 15 this motor mount is definatley the goods. http...

Nice purchase Steve, I've been uming and aring about getting one myself for sometime. You just gotta love the Mustang, it really is a great looking aircraft. Just be aware that most of the electroni...

That looks sweet as Kev, looking forward to seeing that tear up the sky.

For those of you that asked to be notified. "Consider yourself notified". I am planning on maidening my Seb Art Sukhoi 140 tomorrow at Penrith, not to mention a few laps with the mighty DW. Hope to s...

Is it only one or allof them. Servo chatter is usually caused by the servo's internals Kev, could be the wire from the receiver or the connections, swap the servos around and see if the chatter stays ...

Welcome to the club Kev, That will be a very nimble beastie for sure.

Looks nice Frank. Is that the 30 or the 50 size, I had a Seb50 Katana in the black and yellow but one of the wings literally fell off at about 200 ft and she died. Sold what was left (which was actual...
