Flying Tips and Repairs

Range Check your Radio System
After fi nal assembly, range check the radio system with the T-28. Refer to your
specifi c transmitter instruction manual for range test information.
Flying
Always choose a wide-open space for fl ying your ParkZone T-28. It is ideal
that you fl y at a sanctioned fl ying fi eld. If you are not fl ying at an approved site,
always avoid fl ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also
be careful to avoid fl ying in areas where there are many people, such as busy
parks, schoolyards or soccer fi elds. Consult local laws and ordinances before
choosing a location to fl y your aircraft.
Although this model is not intended for pilots to teach themselves to fl y, the
T-28 has proven to be a popular model for fi rst-time RC pilots. For new pilots,
we recommend learning to fl y this model using two compatible Spektrum
transmitters connected in Trainer mode under the guidance of an experienced
pilot. You may want to explore the use of a Spektrum transmitter with a simu-
lator, such as the Phoenix R/C Pro Flight Simulator 3.0 (RTM3000). Use the
transmitter with the simulator to practice and experiment without damaging
your model.


Before Flying Check List
6. Adjust fl ight controls and transmitter.
7. Perform a radio system Range Check.
8. Find a safe and open area.
9. Plan fl ight for fl ying fi eld conditions.
Landing
For your fi rst fl ights, set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 7 minutes.
Adjust your timer for longer or shorter fl ights once you have fl own the model.
When the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the
fl ight battery. It is not recommended to continuously fl y the battery to LVC.
To land the T-28, fl y the airplane down to about a foot
above the ground. Reduce power and add back pres-
sure on the elevator to fl are the airplane. Touch down
with the main wheels fi rst by holding the nosewheel
off the ground. Avoid holding too much elevator after
touchdown to prevent the plane from becoming
airborne again. Gently steer with the rudder until the
plane has slowed. Avoid sharp turns on the ground
until the plane has slowed enough to prevent scraping
the wing tips.
NOTICE: When fi nished fl ying, never keep the airplane
in the sun. Do not store the aircraft in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing
so can damage the foam.
Repairs
Thanks to the Z-Foam™ construction of the T-28, repairs to most of the foam
can be made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA (cyanocrylate
adhesive), epoxy, etc). The horizontal tail is not made of the same material, so
use only foam-compatible CA on the horizontal tail.
NOTICE: Use of CA accelerant on your model can damage paint. DO NOT
handle the model until the accelerant fully dries.
When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by
item number.

After Flying Check List
5. Repair or replace all damaged parts.
6. Store fl ight battery apart from aircraft and monitor the battery
charge.
7. Make note of fl ight conditions and fl ight plan results,
planning for future fl ights.
Always
decrease throttle at
propeller strike.
