| Tech 1000 DLG and the sink hole (12 min 8 sec) |
It has been over a year since I flew the tech 1000 DLG .
At the time I was wondering why it flew so fast and why it come down so fast . Ok @ 199 grams it's heavy for a 1 meter DLG .
Some investigation showed that the angle of attack of the wing to centre line was in the negative .
This would explain why the T1000 was flying fast and why I had problems slowing it down .
It looks to me , like this is how the model was intended to be . Now in a situation such as - A slope ! With lots of lift .. This could be ideal !
But as a pure DLG , me ( Me ) thinks not . I will say here and now that the T1000 is probably an excellent slope glider .
Anyways , I put in some positive angle of attack . But over a year later ! And I finally get a chance to test it out .
A) Still tends to fall out of the sky ( 199 grams )
B) Took some effort to re tune .
C) Might need to tweak that CG , getting the T1000 to cruise is not easy . CG might be to far forward ?
D) T1000 will most likely never be a good DLG
E) But hey ! It glides much slower now . Just no hang time !
F) At 93 grams , my Elf is half as heavy .
G) Oh - the pain ! It's been such a long time since I did DLG and it hurt like a SOB . My whole body was a Ouchie ! This was a few days ago and it still hurts .
Do we hate getting old ?
Today I bought a new Night Flight Module from Amazon for my Hobbyzone Super Cub project! Total paid was...
$199.99 (T-28 Trojan PNP)
$FREE (Shipping)
$18.99 (Tax @ 9.5%
)
$218.89 (Grand Total)
...so I got an email from RCG about a thread I subscribe to for the Duraplane T-28 Trojan 1100mm and a member posts 2 links here... to the Banana Hobby website (see screenshot below...) saying they are selling 2 versions of the Durafly T-28 v2!!! so I created a new thread about it here... which has all the specs about this plane.
Now, I've been waiting for Hobbyking to either come out with a new color scheme (since I really don't like the Centennial Edition
) or re-release the popular Red/White scheme. I've searched RCG's classifieds and have sent countless PM's to members to see if they have sold theirs but came up empty handed. I've even had a search saved in eBay so if it ever comes up there, I'd be notified...but not one alert. So NOW I FINALLY GET A CHANCE TO OWN THIS AGAIN PLUS IT'S UPDATED TO HANDLE 4S AND IS BASED ON THE VERSION 2 MOLD OF THE DURAFLY WITH DIVE BRAKES, FPV, ETC!!!! 
Yes, there are others, like the Eleven Hobby, Dynam, Airfield, even E-flite which make ones near this size. Eleven Hobby is probably the closest match to the Durafly but it doesn't have any navigation lights. E-flite's T-28 this size doesn't have nav lights either and I never liked that the cowl is all foam so it would look horrible after any bumps/crashes. Whereas a plastic cowl can...Continue Reading

I had so much fun with the Skylane I pulled down another treasure from my garage for the next day's project / fun
A Bill Evan's design,this one just needed to have the radio gear and a motor installed
Once again Enya 45 and Futaba gear
With no landing gear this was a hand launch plane to add a little extra potential for excitement
Once again with the Enya purring away ,a gentle push and she was away ...
Another nice flyer,loops,rolls , nothing not to like

Another nice flyer,loops,rolls , nothing not to like
After the outing on the 16th the wind turned off and even acted like early summer...
What to do ...first off I am not complaining about 60 to 70 degrees in the middle of March
Needing a challenge, and something different to put some effort into - I remembered a couple of planes that had found their way to my garage many years ago
Possibly last flown in the 60's or 70's , the Carl Goldburg Skylane is a classic and great flyer....might a hint of that greatness still be found under the dirt and old duck tape ?
Here in the north east some of the hot rod guy's are building their cars and then distressing the paint so it looks like it has been sitting in a junk yard for the last 50 years ,they are referred to as "Rat Rods" ...How about a Rat Plane ...especially since vermin have spent some time in this old girl
The idea here was to do the bare minimum of work to get her back into the air and still be safe
So standard Futaba servos were installed for control {3 chan }
A Enya 45 was mounted for power {it probably last flew with a .19 to .35 }
The old duck tape was removed {the old wind screen } and replaced with clear packing tape
The covering that was falling off the stab was removed and replaced wit 1.7 laminating film {I cover most all of my slope planes with it and wondered how it would do on a powered Balsa plane }
It took me a day from start to finish to have her ready,once cleaned up a bit the plane actually displayed quite a bit of craftsmanship-...Continue Reading
