Ok plane dudes, time for this heli flyer to ask some simple questions now that I have T28 (looks nice):
1. The motor is offset on the firewall. It points noticeably "right" when viewed from the tail to front of plane. I am thinking that is a deliberate thing to counteract torque on take-off roll. Pls confirm.
2. The nose wheel mount seems to require me to tighten the screw in pretty hard before it would grip the nose wheel shaft. Anything less and the nose wheel falls out. The flat is the right way round.
3. Any mods any one recommends? The tape on the underside looks like it is not sticky enough and the tape under the leading edge seems to be wanting to peel away. Does anyone uses a stronger tape here?
4. The standard battery is 3S 1800. Anyone squeezed in a slightly higher capacity battery?
5. What flight times would I expect (very approximately) on the standard battery? I will be doing harriers, knife edges, inverted 8's, waterfalls, snap rolls and high speed low passes. (not really).
