T-28 info?

just-nick · 06-22-2007, 12:46 PM

I'm not usually one for the "please does anyone have this" sort of post, but I've just run against a wall. I'm trying to find good, technical, systems and flight information on the T-28 -- in any of its versions. Anyone on this board got anything good? It would be much appreciated, I promise!

Thanks,

Nick

Hello Nick,

So far I have no T-28 manual on my website, but I have some manuals available in my shop.
I am working on a cleaned-up version of a T-28A manual.
It might be on TailWheel.nl this weekend.
If you want more details, contact me by e-mail at r.handgraaf@chello.nl

Regards

Ron

Hi Ron,

By any chance do you have any on the T-6 Texan.

Thanks in advance

Hello Nick,

Just finished the manual for the T-28. It was a lot of work, but I like the result. I suppose you will like it too!
It can be found at:

North American T-28 Trojan

Ron

And as an answer to MICDROW, I just wanted to ask if somebody has this kind of manual for the T-6!
As you have seen before, the only HARVARD manuals I have are in Dutch, which is easy for me, but probably not for you!

Ron

By the way. do you think that B-17 is flying low? I have been flying lower for about 10,000 hours as an agricultural pilot!

Wow -- thanks for the great response Ron. Never expected that.

I don't know about a T-6 manual, but this site does have a fair bit of info on the airplane:

T-6A Texan II Joint Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training, Pilot Instructor Training at T6Driver

Very true Ron, I have no clue on how to read Dutch. Are you still flying as and agricultural pilot? Maybe I will find one at the airshow this year.

Hallo Micdrow,

I stopped spraying in 1999. Still flying as an instructor, but I have been grounded for two months now. Ear problems.
That's why I am very busy with websites and webshop!

Welcome Ron, appreciate your help in this site. I too am a flight instructor but it seems you've been at it a bit longer. I sent you a PM, again appreciate your participation.

I have been instructing since 1983.
I prefer to fly with taildraggers, Super Cub, Broussard, Emeraude etc. but also Diamond Katana and DA-40 series.
What do you fly?

Regards

Ron

I started flying in 1978, tried again in 1985, and then got serious around 1994. I mainly fly Cessnas (172s) but have flown Pipers and L-29 jets. i recently got my tail wheel endorsement in a Supercub.

I'm also an A&P and IA.
