    Hey thanks for the nice comment! The is one of the only times I decided to post a video with a camera on a tripod. It's a little boring, but I wanted to showcase a few landings and take offs.

    very nice work, love the flaps and paintwork, ! Good landings as well.

    Hey there - I used Krylon Fusion paint on this kit. You can pick it up from most "Big Box" hardware stores. I also used Apple Barrel paint for touch up areas. The secret is to give it a final coat of minwax polycrylic once you've finished painting. This will give it a nice shine and will help the paint from chipping off.

    Hey thanks for the comment. I used Krylon Fusion paint on this plane and it worked like a charm! I've got two tips for you when painting: 1.) wipe down the entire plane with rubbing alcohol. This helps the spray paint to stick better. 2.) After you're done painting, do a light coat of polycrylic to prevent chipping/flakes and give it a nice shiny gloss.

    Like what you did to your T28 - I have the new blue navy version. I would like to know what kind of foam safe paint you used on your plane. Thank in advance for you reply.

    I was thinking this video needed more of that!

    Don't be nervous about cutting into your wing - after all, it is just foam! I've figured out that light-weight spackling compound works great for repairing and filling in a botched foam job. I'd be happy to walk you through making the flaps - it's actually pretty simple. Send me an email or message and I'll get back to you with detailed instructions. Take care!

    Hi minneflyer- I would love to be able to do this, and certain I can. But I am wondering if there are any tricks that you learnned along the way or are willing to walk me through how you did it. I am scared i'll screw up my wing- though its no big deal to get a new one. With that said- the biggest challenge is creating the flap. Is there a special way you used to cut into the wing with out going too deep?

    wow.. you should take a lot of shots of the flaps being lowered and rasied.

  20. May 14, 2009 at 06:54 AM by minneflyer

    Great idea! I'll give it a shot and see what the results are like. The grass on the field we fly at is kept pretty short, but I'll take any help I can get with ROG from grass!

    bend your nose gear foward,it will make ground handling so much better!i did it and also bent wing gear futher out,handles,takes off ,lands great!

    Nice job!! I like to make changes on my ARFs to... Someone told me years ago that ARF kits look the same, therefore make yours stand-out .... Be creative!!!!

    Ahhh - good eye Goose! I didn't like how the stock pilot looked, so I too him out and never replaced him. I probably should find a replacement soon. Thanks for the comment!

    Looks great! But why go to all that trouble if your gonna fly it without a pilot? Icing on the cake mate. Good job. Goose
