As always, a wonderful video presentation Greg. Thank you. I really enjoy your videos. I just might sell my 1.1 ‘Yella Peril’ & get this one. I did not buy the origin 1.2 due to the weak landing gear, particularly the nose. But hope it has improved other than just the paint job & smart receiver as it is A$600 (BnF) here in OZ. Regards Noel
I definitely won't one of these. Just bought the Maule M7 1.5. . Still gluing my very old Red & White Hobby Zone Sport Cub 1.2 m. Also upgrade to a NX8 , smart Batteries G2 and Smart G2 Charger. Need a go fund me page. Lol
Think of it as an investment in your mental health! Unfortunately it will not be a tax write off...LOL Good luck with the Maule. A weak point on the Maule is where the strut attaches to the fuse. it will snap it you do real fast snap rolls....ask me how I know..lol
no they do not. The best way to cancel out torque roll is a more gradual take off and opposite rudder as she wants to pull off to the side. These are gentle but deliberate corrections.
go to the factory cg mark and make a little dent or magic marker mark. Then install a factory suggested lipo like a 3200 3s in the middle of the battery tray , then turn plane UPSIDE down and balance on your fingers . Then move the battery backwards and forwards until it balances on your fingers with it ever so slightly nose heavy. THEN EXTEND the gear and repeat. it will be different but only slightly. Keep moving the battery back and forth until you find a happy place where the gear up and down pretty much balance the same. here is a cg video I made to help with CG. th-cam.com/video/4b7izJqWpQI/w-d-xo.html
Where I fly, it is always pretty hot so the ESC in my 1.2m mustang is always toasty after any flight on 4s. I was thinking of upgrading the stock 40 amp ESC to the new 70 amp ESC that comes in this T28. Would you be able to test the T28 70 amp ESC in your 1.2m blondie mustang to make sure everything works out? I tried getting an Avain 45 amp ESC for my mustang and it makes all the servos buzz and move erratically. Finally, how long is the wire from the IC3 connector to the ESC itself? Thanks for the help and happy flying:)
Unfortunately I have long since sold my Blondie Mustang. When flying try not to fly full throttle all the time , Take the plane up high and then dive with the motor off a few times , that will rest the esc and force some cool air over it.
Very easy build! To be expected when dealing with a quality model.
GREG YOU ARE A GREAT PLUS TO AMA AND THIS HOBBY, KEEP THAT CAMERA ON, THANKS GREG STAY SAFE
Thanks so much My larry!
Very good looking model. Already viewed a bunch of flight videos on other channels... she flies really nice.

Nose gear is always a problem, hope this one is a bit beefier.

I forget if you ever used or use gyros? Do gyros cancel out torque?
no they do not. The best way to cancel out torque roll is a more gradual take off and opposite rudder as she wants to pull off to the side. These are gentle but deliberate corrections.
I wish I could get landing gear parts, I crashed mine on maiden.
Ohh sorry to hear and I dont have a line on parts for you sorry.
My freewing Su-35 maiden flight is tomorrow. *scared*
All the best on a successful maiden!
