Can we have a 1.1M P-47 version just like this please? Maybe even the uglier P-51 or F4U. 😀 War birds that can be flown anywhere is all I'm asking for.
I have just transitioned to this model, as my first low wing airplane....I have flown it on 3S only, and the guys at the field warn me not to fly very slow because it will stall....is stalling this aircraft, when turning at low speed something it easily does, as I haven't experienced it yet...thanks
I maidened mine couple weeks ago with the control surfaces servo links at the innermost holes and it was just a ripper. Thanks for making another video showcasing those crazy snaps and tumbles! The gains are indeed too much only on the elevator but only when you go full on 100% throttle at 4S. Love this plane even more now and a great first 1.1M plane moving up from UMX planes! I started with the HH Champ and now this awesome T-28.
Great video, as usual Jason! Great plane, we have it and are super happy! One thing that Spektrum should improve is the battery bar should really show the percentage, the bar is nice, but if it also clearly showed a percentage it would be even better! Hope this can be added in the future!
Yes, you can get telemetry on your DX6...you don't need to have a new NX radio! Just make sure to update you DX6 to the latest firmware, and all of the following Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters are telemetry capable/compatible: DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, the NX6, 8 and 10, the iX12, iX20 and all future radios
Jason says thank you very much :) Also, we've tested this power system quite a bit and optimized it to deliver a good blend of speed, thrust and flight time when using 3S and 4S batteries with the 30A ESC. Top speed is 65+ MPH in level flight...which may not sound terribly fast, but is pretty darn fast and impressive for a model this size!
Yes! Watch this video to see exactly that: th-cam.com/video/r0K6S1K4vYc/w-d-xo.html You can also remove the landing gear to hand launch over and belly land on grass as seen in this video: th-cam.com/video/BawP05lNEtQ/w-d-xo.html
Haha! He did say "hopefully I'll remember" to show that though, and since he officially became an "old man" last year (the big 4-0!), we decided to let it slip that he forgot :D Sorry about that though :(
The forward programming of the receiver using the NX8 is very intriguing to me. Is it possible to edit the Intermediate mode to have no bank angles but add and utilize self leveling when the elev/arln stick is in the neutral position. I feel for me personally it would be a beneficial step mode, where i can do rolls and loops but still have the plane self level if i couldn't snap it back myself. This feature alone would warrant the upgrade price of the transmitter as far as im concerned. thanks
Expo is very much personal preference, but Jason used 30% for high rates (100% travel), 20% for mid rates (75% travel) and 15% for low rates (50% travel).
@@HorizonHobbyProducts Thank You! Appreciate you still looking back this far for questions. Did order this plane Sunday along with another battery and receiver for a different plane

Well done Sir
It is fun for sure on this new configuration 👊🏻😎👊🏻
Hi jason, do you still have the E-flite F/A-18F Super Hornet? I would like to get one sometime
I appreciate this kind of video info thanks
Love these videos with Jason! I watch all of them! Great info 👌🏽😎
We love your videos too Vince!!
@@HorizonHobbyProducts That is great to hear 😄🙏🏽 Thanks guys 🚀
Nicely detailed information and flight! Good job as always
I’ve seen this plane in person and it’s beautiful! This is a great video! 💯❤️
This plane is my favorite now.
Amazing! Thankyou

Is the wing of the old PKZ T-28 replaceble by the wing of the eflite t-28 ?
Is it possible to set Self Level/Angle limits to 90 degrees? For Roll right, roll left

@@HorizonHobbyProducts thankyou.. How do I update the firmware on my radio I have never done it before.. I just bind and fly?
@@rcpete7055 You'll need an SD card then follow the instructions in this video: th-cam.com/video/Dp3mnkwoD7M/w-d-xo.html
Have you clocked the speed with a 4s? I am surprised that a 4s battery won’t burn up a 30amp esc. You are an awesome pilot Jason.

@@HorizonHobbyProducts Nothing better associated with a plane with a fixed gear than almost no maintenance required vs a plane with retracts.
Thanks for the video. Beautiful plane and of course nice seeing you flying in my neighborhood club.
Definitely an awesome location to fly in!
can it go in grass
Yes! Watch this video to see exactly that: th-cam.com/video/r0K6S1K4vYc/w-d-xo.html
You can also remove the landing gear to hand launch over and belly land on grass as seen in this video: th-cam.com/video/BawP05lNEtQ/w-d-xo.html
Yea.. I ordered one
Update: I freak'n love it.
You forgot to show how many G's you pulled.
What a jip. 😜
Haha! He did say "hopefully I'll remember" to show that though, and since he officially became an "old man" last year (the big 4-0!), we decided to let it slip that he forgot :D Sorry about that though :(
Great video James! Are you willing to share what you were using to track the airplane with camera/phone?
This video was filmed in 4K using an iPhone 12 Pro Max :)
@@HorizonHobbyProducts thanks! I did see that. I wasn't sure if you had someone holding the phone or not.

Pretty soon ;)
@@HorizonHobbyProducts Ok! Just saw that after I made that comment lol. As long as it’s not TOO expensive!!
Oh how I am tempted to spend a little more DUCKETS
What expo are you using for High and Mid rates after changing the throws?
Expo is very much personal preference, but Jason used 30% for high rates (100% travel), 20% for mid rates (75% travel) and 15% for low rates (50% travel).
