Location: Works open area
Plane: Parkzone T-28 Trojan Ultra Micro
Wind: Light but developing, occasional gusts

I have been getting a bit sick of how my weekends are disappearing without much of a chance to get my flight skills up, and there is a fair bit of open space where I work. Hence a ultra-micro that should get me a bit more comfortable.

Plane is a typical Parkzone UM - all in the box, ready to go. Came with a 1S charger for the small LiPo. Charged battery, bound, ready to go. Has optional landing gear which I decided not to attach - the grass is not up to scratch for those wheels, and belly landing should be ok.

Plane took off fine and generally flew well. Plane had issues with really wanting the nose to go up under power, but trimming generally fixed that and plane was perfect as a glider. Also suspect that the wind was making the nose lift a fair bit too.

Landings were generally fine too. Got one a bit off that put a very tiny crease in a wing, but that was a result of wingtip hitting the ground first (pilot error).

Am planning to get a few batteries for this and really work it through its paces for getting to bronze wing standard. Based on its flying today, its going to teach me a lot about the switch from 3Ch to 4Ch.
