Hi Brain was made up when you said your going to the NX10 not the ix14 I got the NX6 when you had one and you got me back in the hobby watching your channel. I’m ready to change my TX so will be getting the NX10 so I can follow along with all your tips thank you for all your time you spend making your videos to the both of you
I love when you get wound up. Your personality is very uplifting and enjoyable. You and Megan are an incredible team. Love the long format. Glad you took the Red Bull comment with a smile.
Thanks for the detailed vid. I am getting this plane for a new daily driver since I put my previous daily driver in a tree due to a depth perception problem. Great looking nails, Camera Crew.
Congratulations on finding the Red Bull sale 😂. Love your videos and your style of teaching. I’ve said it before. This is more than an RC Channel. This is an RC Aviation Course.
Love your long form video's! I learn so much from this format. Used your Viper 90 video to set up mine complete with thrust reversing yesterday and hope to maiden tomorrow. After a hopefully successful maiden, I'll hunt down the pilot fatigue and set that up. Keep doing what you guys do, your an excellent resource for us! PS- Used your master Horizon link to purchase a NX8...hope it worked!
Thanks for your time doing the video. I bought one because of your review, even though watching you tightening the screws made me cringe. Built mine today and those screws are awful, I could get any 3 screws on the wing but the fourth didn't want to play. I seriously hope I can get it in my car because I would not like to have to remove/fit the wing at the field. My manual had little I common with plane, mentions gluing the wings and how to install the horns . My tail plane was a sod to fix. Screws are far to thin, the manual stated lengths of screw that didn't exist in the kit, and the rudder control rod had to be cut to make I fit, I'm aware the elevator rod is a different length. Very nose heavy with battery as far rearward. Plane looks fantastic, fingers crossed for maiden tomorrow. My first FMS and not too impressed with the build, if it fly well I'll be happy
Thanks!!! Those screws can be WORSE than usual on your install the wing the first time. I suspect, with subsequent re-attachments it may get easier. Either way, GREAT PLANE!!!!! Enjoy
You guys are the nicest couple , I love watching your content , It's hard to imagine how anyone would be ugly / negative towards you guys , 😕 Forget the haters , there's plenty of us out here that love you guys ✌️😎👍
Thanks for this Brian. It encouraged the purchase of another plane I promised myself that I didn't need! I went for the origal white and red one. Was a bit of a pain with all them wires and I did bin the reflex for the AR637T. My rudder was a pain as it chewed the thread on the rear hole. So I epoxied it all in to be sure. Changed to an Avain 100A as I'll be on 6s all the time. Liking the 1.4m class. Bit more presence in the air compared to my 1.2m and isnt too difficultto transport or store. Just wish my Nanchang, Pilatus and corsair were 1.4m too
NICE - so now you can get Thrust Reverse (the EASY way) and don't have to do the goofy Flap / Channel sharing stuff I did!!! 1.4m is a GREAT size class for sure. I love everything about this plane, BUT I've learned that I have a real hard time holding and picking it up, due to the inner main gear doors being right where I want to hold on - LOL - if that's the worst of it, we have a winner!!!
@BrianPhillipsRC I also manged to keep my pilot after carving, but I'm balancing on a smart 4000 6s not a 5000 6s. Hoping you review the FMS corsair 1.4m soon with maybe the same motor as the P47 and T28.
Great video! Love all of the helpful tips. I know you have quite a few warbirds. So, I'd really like to see the Motion B2 Spirit box displayed on the stove soon. The ads make it look pretty cool. Which is really hard to do, because I've always thought the stealth series was butt ugly. Lol. Thanks for this awesome content 👍
Brian, I want to thank you for your hard work in posting all of your reviews and tips. I'm new again to the hobby. I built and STARTED to fly traditional wooden kits back when I was in my 20's (Goldberg Tiger 2 and Hobbico Superstar 40 trainer). Life, marriage , children and career happened so I had to hang everything up. So now that I have time again, I thought I'd just pick up the hobby where I left off...WRONG! EVERYTHING is different. It's gone foam and electric. I wasn't even sure if I'd even enjoy this new hobby anymore as a LOT of the hobby involved building. Flying was really the consummation of a love affair with the project that had been on the building board for months. Naturally, a crash hurt a LOT more as it didn't involve just a loss of money (My Tiger2 was my 2nd plane and I was still scared about visibility so I covered it in Hot Pink with a Neon Green bottom thinking I'd NEVER lose it in the sky. The only Pilot that made sense was a beautiful blonde Barbie doll. I received some fun jokes at the flying field for my "Barbie" plane. I took the next step and contacted Mattel with pictues of my plane and they actually sent me large Barbie Logo stickers so put them on the side and tail. My Barbie plane was now "Official"). I was afraid to fly it. Today....It's different. I wasn't even sure that I wanted to be part of this pre-fabbed foam/ electric hobby. I started watching TH-cams to get a sense of what was out there. I randomly came across your posts and well, you were personable. You spoke directly to someone like me who is lost in the hobby. Maybe even wondering if its worth investing time, energy and money into. You've convinced me that it IS worth it. The planes may be "pre-fabbed" but they are so much more sophisticated and include so much more cool tech (lights, retracts, standard flaps) and they just look more realistic. You've shown me that flying is easy and I've used your site to then learn more about the new equipment, how it all works (no more glow engines. I am completely new to the electronics). Further, I've watched what kind of batteries, radios, chargers, glues you use. I've gone with an NX 10SE instead of the NX 8 (more is usually better). In short, THANK YOU for your help and convincing me that the hobby is worth pursuing. I've grabbed the Apprentice STS 1.5 to get my fingers back on the sticks and I found an Avistar Elite for a 2nd plane because it feels familiar. I don't know if I'm going to use electric on it or go gas (seems like glo is going away and the fuel getting more difficult to find and more expensive). After that, who knows....I'm watching your TH-cams and I want to eventually fly Just. Like. That. Thank you.
When you follow the link, you can choose between PNP and PNP with Relfex, then you can just get the appropriate Rx to give you AS3X and SAFE, or to let the plane handle that stuff with the Reflex, if it came so equipped. bprc.me/FMS_T28 (you will see a bunch of choices...just get what you prefer) If you get Reflex, but don't need full telemetry - bprc.me/AR620 If you want Telemetry too, and still using Reflex - bprc.me/AR6610T If you want to Replace Reflex - bprc.me/AR8020T bprc.me/4S_5000 | bprc.me/4S_3200 bprc.me/NX10
I always like to set my controls up with the standard settings, like I use switch D for flaps, Switch F for ailerons, C for elevator, and G for rudder, and H for throttle cut, A for landing gear. I know a lot of people use one switch for all the controls and that is OK, I just like to modify trim in the air. But do Like your demos.
Everyone should do what helps them fly best. Absolutely nothing wrong with this, but whatever you do, do it consistently for maximum success, in my experience.
I like to run the screw a few times before I put the control surfaces on so basically naked fuselage put all the screws in go back nd for tighten loosen a few times then assemble it makes thing smoother an easier
Hello Brian. Love my FMS 1400mm Trojan. I am curious about upgrading mine to 6 cell power. Do you have any sage advice on which motor and esc combo would work for this purpose? Thanks! Dale
Totally agree with you Brian on the cockpit details on the p47 fabulous however the pilots face is pink like he has one heck of a head rush going on , I don't know why the Chinese people can't get Americans skin tone right just saying.
LOL - I agree, but to be honest, I don't know why all the pilots look goofy. If we can make 3D scans of every Marvel characters and then make PERFECT 1/12 scale figurines (Which would have been AMAZING as a kid!!!!!!) why can't we get a pilot bust that's near perfection, light, and cheap to make? I've often times wondered this, but don't want to be a "Debby Downer". I've also noticed this for years. Even with the BETTER looking ones, like in the Eflite Warbird Pilots, for example. Do you remember the "Anti-Pinocchio" (super short nose) from the Cirrus SR22T 1.2m (V1 Blue and Silver). Case in point ;) I also don't know why the eyes always seem "bug-eyed" like Chunk from the goonies - LOL!
Hi Brian, great video. I’m thinking of getting this plane but I’m wondering what size the wheels are? and also if there’s scope to upsize them slightly. I fly on grass but it can get fairly thick at times Regards Dave
Well, when the Box and Manual say so much, would you like us to IGNORE it? For once I real the manual, and it's wrong - LOL!!! FMS is fixing the messed up notes, but on 4S she's 100% plenty powerful! Love this plane
@@BrianPhillipsRC I know man it's a bummer, they sent me one a lil while back to review and I found that out the hard way lol. I told Meave about it right away and supposedly they will be fixing the issue. But yes she is great on 4s with the new 650kv motor

@@BrianPhillipsRC She’s a lucky lady.

Great information especially on the electronics. I’m starting to understand the lingo on the current electronics.
Thanks for staying with the nx lineup
Still have my 2M Trojan from HH and am still gonna buy the new yellow one 😊

BTW: I expect to begin purchasing directly from your page to help support you.
Great job explaining the build as always (and more!) My question is, do I have to purchase Reflex, or can I just use an AR6xx to provide AS3X & SAFE?
When you follow the link, you can choose between PNP and PNP with Relfex, then you can just get the appropriate Rx to give you AS3X and SAFE, or to let the plane handle that stuff with the Reflex, if it came so equipped.
bprc.me/FMS_T28 (you will see a bunch of choices...just get what you prefer)
If you get Reflex, but don't need full telemetry - bprc.me/AR620
If you want Telemetry too, and still using Reflex - bprc.me/AR6610T
If you want to Replace Reflex - bprc.me/AR8020T

I had the same issues with mine as well. FMS needs to fix this.
Still really like this plane!

Eflite T28 1.2m vs FMS 1.4m… you can only keep one.. which one and why ? Thanks for your amazing videos !
BOTH!!!! Dang it, if there's a fire, I'll be grabbing BOTH!!!!! ;)

Hi Brian. When will Horizon be shipping out the new carbon Z T-28s? My fiance rushes home every day to see if you have a video released yet.
Hello Brian. Love my FMS 1400mm Trojan. I am curious about upgrading mine to 6 cell power. Do you have any sage advice on which motor and esc combo would work for this purpose? Thanks! Dale
Hi Brian..... would you be able to tell me what settings you used for the takeoff and landing flaps?
Hey Brian, just curious how you set up the thrust reverse? I didn't see it during the Radio setup.
Please, what flap deflections do you have for take-off and landing. You have elevator compensation. Thank you
Totally agree with you Brian on the cockpit details on the p47 fabulous however the pilots face is pink like he has one heck of a head rush going on , I don't know why the Chinese people can't get Americans skin tone right just saying.

Just relocate the tree, if you can have power lines moved a tree shouldn’t be an issue! Lmao 🤣
Got this on preorder in the U.K. It doesn’t come with reflex would you advise an ar630 or try and get a reflex v2?
Do you have a preference between the 1.4 or the 1.2 T 28? Is one truly better than the other?
They are both good. The 1.2m is easier, but the 1.4m is a bit more detailed. Both are great.

Hi Brian, great video. I’m thinking of getting this plane but I’m wondering what size the wheels are? and also if there’s scope to upsize them slightly. I fly on grass but it can get fairly thick at times
Regards
Dave
do you like this one better than the 1.2 Trojan?
Hi Brain could I do the same process and reicever and radio set up on the FMS P47 1500mm ?
Are you related to Jack Black ? LOL Had to ask .
Improve your channel and you be the cameraman let her do what you do sometimes because she's very smart I can learn from her thanks
This plane is not 6s do not fly it like this
Well, when the Box and Manual say so much, would you like us to IGNORE it? For once I real the manual, and it's wrong - LOL!!!
FMS is fixing the messed up notes, but on 4S she's 100% plenty powerful! Love this plane
@@BrianPhillipsRC I know man it's a bummer, they sent me one a lil while back to review and I found that out the hard way lol. I told Meave about it right away and supposedly they will be fixing the issue. But yes she is great on 4s with the new 650kv motor
Not worth the money. Still has too many quality control issues.
We'll have to agree to disagree. This is not a perfect plane, but it's very good.
agree to this comment plus now you have to deal with China for service
Great video, just ordered my T-28, my concern, I have two newer Spektrum 4s 3200 batteries. They are wider and flatter. Are they going to fit???
Use the battery it is engineered for
