Hi, do you know if you can put some soft foam wheels on it to replace the hard wheels that came with it? If so, what I size would I need to buy? Thanks, Dan
That "V" is called Dihedral; it makes the plane more stable. WE once flew Rudder, Elevator and Throttle, with dihedral in the wings. If you moved the horn forward 30 degrees on the ailerons, and gave it twice as much up aileron than down, it will roll better and turns will need less rudder.
E--flight had this 1.2M T-28 Red and White,flaps and retracts, but discontinued it a couple years back. Previous version did not have SAFE, nor telemetry of course. Glad to see this one come back with upgrades but like others have said E-flight 1.2 M warbirds need to add nav. lights as they role out new versions. Hopefully they will bring back the 1.2M P-47 (with nav. lights!)soon.
Beautiful flying Nate! This plane is a real standout, as well. Abby, your filming is just breathtaking. It's amazing how much great information is included for potential buyers/flyers, too! JP♥️⚓s
Abby has really gotten to be a great pilot. I wish I could be around you Nate to learn to fly. I have learned so much from your channel Nate. Can you please show the baby on some of the videos I enjoy watching her grow up.
Too bad HH didn’t use the same quick connect setup for the wires as the RV-7. But this Trojan still looks like a fantastic upgrade from the previous one!
The T-28 was beast of an advanced trainer back in its day. It was the very next plane designed by North American after the P-51, and had nearly the same power to weight ratio in the Navy models with the 1425 horsepower Wright R1820 with dual stage dual speed supercharger.
You two should get to Airventure at Oshkosh sometime. Then you can check out the full scale versions of the warbirds you love. Lots of fun bush planes STOL.
Just a few tips, if I may: Before deploying flaps, the aircraft should be slowed considerably. That way you won't get that sudden hump-climb and will prevent flap stress and damage. One way to slow down, right now, is to do a flaps - up, power-off, steep, level 360 degree turn. Use throttle and elevator to prevent over-climbing after takeoff. Most models are over-powered and the throttle is there for a purpose. Especially on paved runways where there is less drag on the wheels, less than full power is often fine for a good takeoff. Three-point landings for nose-wheel aircraft are a big no-no as doing it stresses the nose gear tremendously. Such airplanes ought to be landed on the mains first, then allowed to slow and let the nose wheel drop naturally. Practicing departed flight (stalls and spins) at a safe altitude is wise. It will inform you what airspeed is best and safe for approach and landing. Tip stalls can be prevented by washout. This is where the wing is slightly twisted so that at the end part of the wing the leading edge is slightly lower than the trailing edge causing the end part of the wing to meet the airflow at a lower angle of attack than the centre and root of the wing in normal upright flight. This is a effective way to prevent the end part of the wing from stalling before the centre and root part. If you cannot twist the wing, trimming both ailerons equally up a few degrees will essentially have the same effect. If you know, how well does this T-28 operate from grass? Thanks for a great vid.
These videos are soo fun. The people in all of these videos are soo proud of these expensive ready to fly R/C A/Cs. I'd rather scratch build my own and be proud to pose for a picture.
We are also proud of our channel, the same way you might be of an airplane you built. The time it took you to build your plane, we made a video or two! 👍💯😎⚓️
I sold the older version of this beautiful bird when I changed up my flight hanger with 1.5's & bigger butt I miss my T-28 I'm preordering one great video & flying God bless Saylors ⚓😉👍🛩
Completely understand! We used to fly only off grass, and in many ways that is actually better! Consider yourself lucky to have grass short enough to fly off of, as our grass is WAY too tall for most of our planes.
Very nice to see the T-28 with flaps and retracts. I like the red and white better than all yellow. Nice maidens Nate 🔥👍 Great job as always Abby 🔥👍✌️ This plane comes with a 70amp ESC not a 80amp like Nate said. No biggy just pointing that out. ✌️
@@TheRcSaylors I apologize you absolutely said 70amp. 😁 I was reading comments during the video I'm thinking that got me distracted and I confused what you said. It's no biggy either way. I'm thinking if ya keep it around 5 second full throttle burst it probably could handle 5S. ✌️
@theRCSaylors: That is an AWESOME plane! How much of a step-up is this version of the plane? I haven't flown a plane before (at all) but have done a bit of drones and tons of RC cars/trucks. Also, what makes a plane "for beginners" versus "a bit more advanced?" As always, thank you so much for an amazing video! I'm leaving this question here... just to prove how awesome you are as you answered this question towards the end. You guys rock!
Still no navigation lights Horizon? I prefer the BlitzRCWorks/Banana Hobby T-28 (Durafly clone) which a lot more scale imo. Plus Horizon Hobby now has lousy, lazy support. If you have an issue, go fish...they now make you chat with robots and email support is even worse!
Battery question, what should I set my voltage alarm at for optimum battery safety on a spectrum 3s 11.1v battery? I’m using it on a typhon brushless. BTW. Love this Trojan beautiful
Oh a ground vehicle it can be a little different than planes because of the way it draws voltage, but I usually go with 3.6 volts per cell to be safe or 3.5 volts per cell if you are more comfortable with stopping about as soon as you hear the alarm go off 👍😁⚓️
Got the original and it is one of my favorite planes. It goes with me almost all the time. Might get this as mine is getting ruff around the edges but those cartoon front graphics have to go.
You always do great displaying your planes! How would this compare power-wise to the 1.2m Mustang or P-47? I have the Mustang and I am thinking about upgrading to the 70 amp Avian Lite ESC that comes with this plane. How long is the battery cable from the IC3 connector to the ESC itself? Finally, what is the difference between the normal Avain ESCs and the Avian Lite ESCs? Thanks!
Awesome flight! On the ESC, how long is the wire from the IC3 connector to the ESC itself? How does the T28 compare power-wise to the Eflite 1.2m Airacobra? Thanks!
I can try and take a look regarding the wire for you. We do have a second flight video, not sure if I show the wire there or not. Power though, I think the Airacobra feels faster and more sporty. Could just be remembering it wrong, but I’d say if there were a race between the two the Airacobra would likely win. Happy Flying 👍😁😎⚓️
hello RcSaylors Team 🙂. Very nice plane and video. Mny thks for that. It seems this Trojan 1.2m can fligth very smoothly (and realistic) with 3S and more sportively with 4S. Even without gyro. Could you indicate the size of wheel ? I didn't see any information about this. 2 inches ? less ? And in your opinion, is the landing gear strong enough to support 1.7kg of the aircraft's weight in flight? Thks by advance for reading JPhilippe (France)
I found the nose gear to be a weak point of this model. It would bend back and when I would bend it to its originals position, it would snap. I ended up making my own strut that was more flexible. The steps to replace the original strut was absurb. You had to disassemble the entire retract mechanism.
I find that most pilots don't know how to arrest the descent using throttle management. It's very simple to do, but for whatever reason, beginners seem to think all planes just glide in like trainers. This plane will drop when it slows down as you seen in the video here he got a little too slow with it over the runway, so the nose must be held slightly upward on landing and if you have up elevator in, it will also take some throttle management to ease it down gently on the mains. Three point landings are OK as well, but never nose gear first landings or you will not like the resulting damage done to your nose gear. Accidents do happen sometimes for various reasons due to strange micro air turbulence and that will sometimes upset even the most skilled pilots, but it's pretty rare.
Can anyone please share how do you replace the nose strut. My son had a little rough landing, and I can not get to the c clip that is holding the strut in to replace it. There is no room for needle nose. What am I missing? I'd hate to have to completely take the retract a part and risk damaging the electronic board.
You'll need to remove the nosegear and completely disassemble it in order to access tht clip that holds the shaft in place. There is no way to access and replace the clip without pilling the two haves of the plastic case apart.. Be mindful to make note of the screws sizes and their respective holes.. there are 4 sizes IIRC...
I didn’t take it that way, just meant I don’t ever watch any YT video over like twenty minutes. I really don’t know how anyone could watch a video that long. Seems to work for him though!
At 7:45 you mention keeping the speed up in turns to avoid tip stall. Now that you hve flown it more, have you found that to be an issue? I had the 1.1m and never had any issues with tip stall; and I am now considering either the 1.1 or 1.2. If the 1.2 is tip stally, I'll go with the 1.1
I think it is more the T-28 airframe that people say has a tendency to wingtip stall on lower speed turns. I have the older 2.0m T-28 6s and have not experienced any wingtip stall tendencies with it. I only have about 15 flights on it since getting it used though. I am thinking of getting this 1.2m because it will be easier to transport to the field. Also the spektrum 4s batteries are 1/3 the price of the 6s ones.
As long as you fly fast enough to keep it stable you’ll never notice it. Likely why you didn’t notice it on ur 1.1m I had a 1.1, got bored and now I bought this
@@johnwall363 The only plane that I've had any problems with stalling in turns, probably due ot low speeds, is a Parkzone Piper Archer. I gave up flying that one for a few years, until I could get used to flying faster
@@TheRcSaylors I See. I really want a Warbird which is at least 70cm with retracts and stabilizer, though. I Just thought T-28 might bei the perfekt starter.
If you have the feeling for it, it is possible. My very first plane is the PNP 1.1m Trojan T-28. Bought a montg ago and within 2 weeks I was allowed to get my licence to fly without instructor on my local flying field👍
It’s a Sweet airplane! I’m planning on taking it out again soon for the channel. Flies so well and looks GREAT while doing it! I just have one favor, please. IF you happen to buy it, consider doing so through our link in our pinned comment or description box. It won’t cost you a single extra penny, but we get a small kick back. Just helps us keep the TH-cam lights on. Happy Flying!! 👍😁😎⚓️
compare this T-28 to the original 1.2M Trojan...i still have the original 1.2M T-28...the only thing i see different is a larger battery and the mouth on the cowl
We don’t own that original version and unfortunately never have, but I’d say the biggest difference would be the upgraded electronics. Telemetry is pretty awesome in an RC plane! 👍😁😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors oh i figured you guys might've owned the original Eflite T-28 as long as you two been making content. Heck i went out and bought the Viper and thunderbird after watching your reviews lol

Can anyone please share how do you replace the nose strut. My son had a little rough landing, and I can not get to the c clip that is holding the strut in to replace it. There is no room for needle nose. What am I missing? I'd hate to have to completely take the retract a part and risk damaging the electronic board.
You'll need to remove the nosegear and completely disassemble it in order to access tht clip that holds the shaft in place. There is no way to access and replace the clip without pilling the two haves of the plastic case apart.. Be mindful to make note of the screws sizes and their respective holes.. there are 4 sizes IIRC...
Hi RCSaylors, are those cartoon graphics in the front stickers or more of a water slide?
Do u watch Brian Philips u could learn better wire management
I don’t have that sort of time to commit to his videos. I will clean up my wires, but just wanted to have fun flying!
Didn't mean any disrespect u guys r one the best
I didn’t take it that way, just meant I don’t ever watch any YT video over like twenty minutes. I really don’t know how anyone could watch a video that long. Seems to work for him though!
We edit our own videos too.. I couldn’t listen to myself while editing for that long, lol.
Do you guys have anything like a P-38 Lighting? I would like to see you fly something like that.
Here you go! th-cam.com/video/7oX88V4rCgo/w-d-xo.html
Great Video Y'all🤙
I subscribed to your channel 🙂 Joshua from Tennessee
At 7:45 you mention keeping the speed up in turns to avoid tip stall. Now that you hve flown it more, have you found that to be an issue? I had the 1.1m and never had any issues with tip stall; and I am now considering either the 1.1 or 1.2. If the 1.2 is tip stally, I'll go with the 1.1
I think it is more the T-28 airframe that people say has a tendency to wingtip stall on lower speed turns. I have the older 2.0m T-28 6s and have not experienced any wingtip stall tendencies with it. I only have about 15 flights on it since getting it used though. I am thinking of getting this 1.2m because it will be easier to transport to the field. Also the spektrum 4s batteries are 1/3 the price of the 6s ones.
As long as you fly fast enough to keep it stable you’ll never notice it. Likely why you didn’t notice it on ur 1.1m I had a 1.1, got bored and now I bought this
@@johnwall363 The only plane that I've had any problems with stalling in turns, probably due ot low speeds, is a Parkzone Piper Archer. I gave up flying that one for a few years, until I could get used to flying faster
Can you please do a review on the Orlandoo hunter 1/32 rock bouncer?
All i can say is RcSaylors are (Realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll)
How does this compare to the banana hobby 1100mm one?
Lots of down thrust in that
Crazy isn’t it!? That side profile shot before take off really shows how much there is on this bird. 👍⚓️
Yep, I was really surprised !
Is it recommended for advanced beginners?
I wouldn’t strongly recommend this for any level of beginner. In a few days, we will feature the Best Beginner Warbird currently 👍😁😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors I See. I really want a Warbird which is at least 70cm with retracts and stabilizer, though. I Just thought T-28 might bei the perfekt starter.
If you have the feeling for it, it is possible. My very first plane is the PNP 1.1m Trojan T-28. Bought a montg ago and within 2 weeks I was allowed to get my licence to fly without instructor on my local flying field👍
Oh man...I like this airplane. Why did you have to show me this?
It’s a Sweet airplane! I’m planning on taking it out again soon for the channel. Flies so well and looks GREAT while doing it! I just have one favor, please. IF you happen to buy it, consider doing so through our link in our pinned comment or description box. It won’t cost you a single extra penny, but we get a small kick back. Just helps us keep the TH-cam lights on. Happy Flying!! 👍😁😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors Sure, I don't see why not. Gotta keep you guys going!
what makes the T-28 a better plane than the P-51? in Your opinion.
Easier to fly and land. Tricycle gear vs tail. The T-28 was a Navy Trainer plane, the aerodynamics of the airplane are more suited for that role.
Does it still have the lousy front gear.
I honestly do not know. This is the first time I’ve owned this version of this plane. Time will tell 👍😎⚓️
compare this T-28 to the original 1.2M Trojan...i still have the original 1.2M T-28...the only thing i see different is a larger battery and the mouth on the cowl
We don’t own that original version and unfortunately never have, but I’d say the biggest difference would be the upgraded electronics. Telemetry is pretty awesome in an RC plane! 👍😁😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors oh i figured you guys might've owned the original Eflite T-28 as long as you two been making content. Heck i went out and bought the Viper and thunderbird after watching your reviews lol
I would love to own this war bird! If God provides I will own this one.
I hope you are able to add this one to your hangar Fred! 👍😁😎⚓️
My hanger is very skimpy. All I own is the UMX Turbo Timber and OMP hobby M1 and M2 helicopters. Being on disability doesn’t afford too much.
I wish you lived close to us my friend. We would help that hangar grow very quickly 😉😁
@@TheRcSaylors that would be nice.
