I know this is a 2016 video but i have just purchased my FMS T-28 V4 - Your videos provide so much information - from Unboxing to flying - they really do help me decide what to get ...Thank You.
I Absolutely subscribe, and click the bell...but living in the UK makes it all but Impossible to Purchase via USA..when you add Shipping ..if you can get it shipped...and import tax..it makes buying rc Aircraft from USA too expensive....I have no choice but to purchase from within UK or Europe....
Nice plane. I noticed the gear door as well, but I have to say I love the working shocks and the quality hardware on the control surfaces. I own an E-flite Carbon Z T-28 and they lack considerably on both points ! They should follow fms's example & upgrade for sure. Other than that I love my T-28
Thanks! We keep it as real as we can. Lots of obstructions, wind and a dirt road add to the fun factor. Also we were able to film the flight portion in one take to give you a real look at a full demo without any editing:)
How to keep front wheel going straight while taxing? If it steers to the left I adjust it a bit to the right, then it goes to the right and so forth. Is there a easier way to adjust it, or just use the rudder to keep it straight. Thanks for your help.
You can mechanically adjust it so it is centered, or if you have a spare channel & a knob on your transmitter, plug your nose wheel servo onto the spare channel & assign it to a steering know. The mix the servos with the rudder being the master & the nose steering servo being the slave.
Another thought... prop clearance looks terrible, as I understand it was with the V3. I've ordered one of these but do we have a solution to the tiny front wheel ???
I have the Eflight T-28 Trojan 1.2m w/70A ESC, beautiful flying very nice plane, but the nose gear system is an afterthought. I like this "upgrade" and bigger version. I think I see a navigation light on the port side leading edge, but on their website, I don't see it mentioned.
It's always a pleasure to stumble across a really good flight demo of an aircraft that you are looking to purchase. Or even one that you simply have an interest in, and this is one of those demos. Do you know maybe if FMS has any plans to build a giant version of the T-28? I'd really like to buy the E-Flight Carbon Z, but I've heard multiple complaints about detail and cheap parts. Just the two blade prop alone is a turn off to me. Thanks for your time!
+Chordmerchant Not sure if they will make one that large... however, that big T-28 flys great. At RCInformer, We usually get all the new FMS planes direct from the factory before they are put into mass production. We product test everything for the factory and help them resolve issues to help make the planes better prior to production. This also gives us an opportunity to shoot a few videos not only for the factory video, but a more realistic unedited video so everyone can really get a good feel for the plane... We always try to keep the videos as genuine and unedited as we can...... Thanks for watching:)
Hmm, looks good, I wanted them to do an upgraded version of this aircraft. Although, I see that the rh landing gear door got pulled out of alignment by your landing: is it really that vulnerable?
+Richard Haynes I was landing hard in tall grass... our field was closed that day for an event so we went to the park instead. Taller grass can grab those doors and turn them, but they just turn back into place:)
Sorry, me again, did you have any balance problems? because I seem to be needing to add tail-weight in order to get the CofG near to spec. I'm trying a 3200 at 366g 12.9oz and still would need to add 2oz to the tail in order to get a CofG of 75mm, 5mm in front of the specced CofG. It's VERY worrying.
Richard Haynes where did you find the C.G from the leading front of the wing it looks like the one on the set manual is not correct I'm using a 3600mah 4s
Yo guys I’m thinking of moving up in the world and planing to get my second plane since I had plenty of hours spent on my second plane. I had a fms 800 and then bought the fms 1280 as an upgrade. And I’m think buying this as my 3rd cry plane. What do u guys think about it? 😁
Hello friends. thank you for your excellent videos.. on the manual it is recommended to use a 4s battery, but it is also written that the t28 can fly in 5 or 6s without modification.. what do you think?
Hi Rich, nice flight as always, do you know if I can put the ar636 as3x receiver from the eflite T-28 Trojan 1200mm on it and work with no problem? I mean the same programing
I couldn’t tell you because I haven’t tried but I suspect you would be able to tell me by now as it’s taken me awhile to find your question🙂 Thanks for supporting the channel👍
@@RCINFORMER Hi Rich thanks for answering I always follow you and watch your videos. I still have the fms t-28 1400mm and yes I put the ar636 receiver from the t-28 1.2 mm on it and it works great.
ScragbyteRC depends on the plane. It's common practice to hold the stick back while taxiing on grass or dirt with the a tricycle gear airplane to help prevent the nose wheel from digging into the ground too much
Just set mine up. Super scared to maiden. I have plenty of hours on 4s planes, I can handle v900 just fine at 130mph but the weight of this plane scares me. Not even sure what battery to use as 6s is aroung 800 g. Any recommend? No flap to elevator mix listed in namual either 🤔
Whilst it is capable of 6s it will fly beautifully with a 4s 3000 in and is super stable like all T-28’s. Fantastic model one of the best Wi-Fi when it comes to T-28’s. As far as flap settings are concerned we all do it differently but if you can send me a message via the Rcinformer Facebook page and ask me to have a look what I have set for it once I get near my radio I will have a look and let you know:) be sure to let me know exactly what plane I’m looking at because I’ve got a number of people asking for different settings all the time:)
Hooooly shiiiiiiiiii#!!! .......... Yeah, I can fly my planes like this.....yeah no problem....just like Richard......"wake up Dean, wake up".....yeah in my dreams. Man, fair play Rich, that was a masterclass in flying. Thank you sir. And have to say, stellar camerawork too. Yet again, and as usual, bloody awesome video! That Trojan looks awesome, and that sound when going by flat out....sexual choc'o'late! 😉😉😂😂 Great job guys, I'm off to swear in envy at the flying I've just witnessed! All the best, Dean Cooling. Wales, UK.
I would have to check my radio I’ve said so many up and some of them do and some of them don’t I can’t remember with the Trojan for sure but I think it’s fine without it-again I would need to check my radio🙂
Hi rich I have the t28 v4 on order and it claims to be able to take a 6s battery ! I have a few 6s 5000mah batteries and was wondering if these would be ok ? Great demo as always rich ☺

I would have to say go with the Extra given that you want something you can use for IMAC. Warbirds don’t tend to be the best pattern flying aircraft-that’s not to say they can’t do it moreover there are better ones around for that purpose like the Extra you mentioned. Thanks for supporting the channel and apologies for the late reply🙂

Is the version available now in 2024 still the same as the one in this video as far as electronic components?
I believe so yes :)

@RCINFORMER thats another plane you twisted my arm on lol. Happy new year rich to you and Aimee👍
Hi so sorry to bother you again! May I know the maximum flight time of this plane. Also, is this easier to fly or is the v8 p51? Thank you so much!
About 5 to 7 minutes. The T-28 is probably a bit easier to takeoff & land with.
What lipo are you using in the video ?I'm having Cg issues just like others have noted
What size battery did you run in her?
I forgot what it was at the time, but probably was a 2600 to 4000 flat pack...
@@RCINFORMER thanks! I have some 3200s

You can try it but just be careful you don't fry the ESC
Hey Rich. What battery did you use on the flight ? Thank you
Oh jeez from memory 3300 to 4000 one or the other can’t remember exactly it was quite awhile ago now but I know it flies great with both of those in👍

Is it necessary to use up elevator on take offs with the tricycle gear?

Hi Rich...!
I see you can lower the flaps servo at a slow speed. Could you tell me if this can be programmed on a Futaba T10J TX...? Thanks.
Albert Van Thournout. I'm not sure. I know on the 8J I cannot.

The t-28 is an awesome platform. Pretty much flies itself. Youll be able to fly it
Great flying! What receiver are you using? Will the AR610 work?
I think that's what is in there
Nice Rich, great job Sir
great flight
when you give flaps in, do you need to mix down elevator?
thx

I have three v2 and just flew it for the first time. seems like it ballooned when I deployed flaps. do you mix any down elevator
+Brad I dont think i did, but just add a bit of elevator mix with your flaps
LOOKING FOR T28 red white. Or yellow
Wow that trojan moves ! First one i seen with that kind od performance
Nice video. How fast can it go on a calm day?
Thanks
Pretty quick, i haven’t ever put the radar gun on it but i would say 65-75mph like most warbirds this size 🙂
Hi rich I have the t28 v4 on order and it claims to be able to take a 6s battery ! I have a few 6s 5000mah batteries and was wondering if these would be ok ? Great demo as always rich ☺
Paul Mullen I have not tried it, you will probably want to check it on a watt meter on the ground.
RCINFORMER I will do that buddy thanks for replying 👍
Paul Mullen My guess is is that it may over draw the amp limit of the ESC
RCINFORMER would putting a 80amp esc solve the problem as I have a spare one from my 1700mm corsair ?
Paul Mullen It might but the problem may be that the motor is not torquey enough to turn that propeller and it may cavitate and squeal
