Thanks for another great review Chris. With mine on full flaps and low throttle I could fly by like a blimp. She does really good aerobatics as you mentioned. The bright yellow and big size may be helpful for those who have eyesight restrictions or orientation issues with small planes.
Awesome video Chris, I love the style you got going on for the plane reviews. I have the older T28 CZ and I wish I knew that tip about the connectors sooner. I'm doing it by matching the tags on the connectors one by one. Keep up the good work on your channel.
The big E-flite birds are very nice. Still enjoying your old 150 in Iron eagle trim. Nice flying T-28. I flew one of the V-1 28's when they first came out. You can't go wrong with a T-28.
Our field is a bit on the rough side so the first thing I did was upgrade the struts to the 80mm Freewing A-10 trailing link struts all around and that made all the difference. Much easier on the rest of the airframe for sure. Upgraded all of the pushrods and clevises to 6/32 wire and golden clevises. Upgraded the ESC to 100 Amp, installed a Flite Test UBEC and ordered a Bad Ass 4530 motor as well as the Thunderbolt 4 into 1 harnesses. After all I bought the airplane for its superb flight performance and now I have a t-28 that is reliable, fun and hopefully will last.
Great video as usual. One of the things I enjoy most is how you fly scale. Slower control movements, realistic takeoff and landing. Great flying all around
Great video and great plane. Well explained and well presented. I have the older red and white t28 and I'm still flying it 8 years later. I bought it in 2015 and its never gave me any trouble so far. Hope you enjoy your T28.
Painted mine yellow 6 years ago love the yellow ! This plane for me is one of the best flying planes ever , I have 2 new in box incase of losing one so that I will always have a C Z T-28 !
Cool video Chris! I’m a fan of the CZ T-28. Not really digging the yellow paint scheme though. Would be nice to see some spring loaded retracts at that price point. Then again, it’s always fun to do upgrades to personalize it. Thanks again for another cool informative video! Should be able to make it out to the field on Memorial Day. Hope to see you there!
I kind of hoped that with this plane coming and going out of stock for years that there would have been some improvements on it. Better gear and single plug connections as you did on yours. I remember seeing this bird years ago, even though is a great airplane, it's due for an upgrade.
While I was disapointed to find the gear struts were just wire, and as you mentioned the wiring is prehistoric compared to other aircraft I have, after I saw three at our field fly beautifully for three different pilots and along with all the videos extolling the fabulous flight characteristics I had to have one. All that aside, it is the design of this model, the moments the simplicity and the grace of it that sold me. I have already upgraded the struts and the wiring and will likely upgrade the ESC as well as it is borderline adequate. All this will be done by the time this aircraft arrives at the field in the spring.
I have just received the thunderbolt connectors and they make things a lot simpler. I wouldn't have known about them only i saw this video. Many thanks.
I still got the original , with original in unreliable landing gear and all 😢. But with that being said it’s still an amazing volume (for those who love bigger). To piggyback off you they definitely needed to make quick connect as part of the bird and to make it one step better I wish they had a quick wing connect with no screws like the new Cougar from motion RC … we can only dream … oh can you share where you bought your connect for the wings … thx
@@Thercgeek I went RED(orange?)/white. RCGF 40cc with scale exhaust. Sierra scale exhaust as well. I'm so excited. Pre ordered the Corsair too. No I may never build my Top Flite Giant kit, lol. I should just sell it.
Dear Chris, would you kindly please share with me the link for the exact T Bolt connection and its quantity that you used for this set up. I want to make sure I purchase the right ones. Thank you so much!
Chris, love your videos and they've helped a lot. I received a Carbon Z for Christmas, and ready to put it together. You mentioned the Thunderbolt connectors. Would I need to purchase 1 harness of 4 servos (TB MSH12-4) or 2? I've been flying an Apprentice STS for awhile, and this is my first warbird.
Nice Big Bird at least that's what I'm painting for the pilot name. I agree they should have added a front nose door for the price. Still a great flight and video.
Great review Chris! I have one on the way. I am thinking of painting an alternative scheme, to avoid the "school bus" effect. A couple of questions: How much does she weigh, what's the prop size and the wheel size and are those 3 or 4 wire multi connectors that you are using? Thanks!
Thanks! I couldn’t tell you the weight offhand and I won’t be able to weigh it for a couple days unfortunately. Prop is a 14.75x10 and yes, I used a 3 and a 4 wire connector (link in the description).
Hi Chris, I’m going to order some of these multi wire connectors for mine but you say you used a 3 and a 4 connector yet I have 4 connection coming from each wing. Am I missing something maybe? Cheers Dave👍🏻🇬🇧
Great flight. Just got mine and the connectors you suggested. Plan on maidening it this weekend. Question, what camera do you use on the plane? Video really looks good.
That is beautiful! And excellent video. I have a large Carbon Z Cub that I want to fit with cameras. May I ask which cameras you have mounted on the plane in this video? Thank you!
Hey Chris, thanks for the reply! Just a couple of more of you don’t mind: what is the largest motor that you can put on the Trojan? Lastly, my grandson’s Apprentice to a nose dive yesterday and broke the motor mount. I got removed the bad one having to cut the plastic to get it off because the wires go through a hole in the mount. The problem is the wires are hard wired into the ECS and I don’t want to mess with it. So I want to cut the wires, feed them through the mount and install some quick connectors to reconnect the motor. Is that good solution! Thank you, Anthony Also, that Trojan will be his second plane, he’s nine!
Chris, if I wanted to use a 3 blade prop, would you recommend a 15x7 or a 16x8 prop., or stick with the prop it came with. Thanks for your help. Enjoy your videos.
Hey Chris on the thunderbolt connectors did you use the 3servo or 4 servo connector? You move so fast and think ppl can see and what you are doing. What part number for the connectors did you use? wow your to fast to see what your doing!!!! My friend recommended so hope to hear from you
I put a 14x9 3blade prop on mine and it works pretty well. I’d like to try a little bigger one on it though to test the power system a bit more though.
You can use pretty much any type of paint on epo as it’s extremely resilient to solvents. I have a huge list of my favorite finishing tools and paints on my website here: www.thercgeek.com/finishingresources
Hi Chris, great video! Looking into getting one, just a few questions. 1. Is there a motor upgrade 2. What’s all the noise when taxing? Sounds like the wheels are coming off Thanks, Anthony
Yeah, there are lots of options for different motors for this. The eflite power 60 or something similar would be a good place to start looking. What you’re hearing on the taxi is just the really hard stock tires. They make a lot of noise. 😆
Hi Chris I have been looking for this bird for a little while now. Finally located one and it is on its way. After watching your review I ordered the connector sets. They should be in next week too. I do haveone question. The sales ads recommend 5 to 8 channels for the tx. How many did you end up using and what for. Thanks Bob
I’m going from memory, but I’m quite certain that I’m only using 6 channels. It’s been a while since I’ve flown the model, but I can’t think of an additional function at this point.
Hi, for flap deflections, you write elevator compensation of 10 and 18%. However, I use a different RC kit. Can you tell me how much the deflection is in millimeters? Thank you very much for your answer.
They just need be plugged in such that the servos line up with the right channels. The goal is to have the plugs separated across the wings so you can separate them easily.
Dear the rc greek, I have a question. I have never flown before, but I have always loved RC planes, so I started looking for a plane that suited me and in the end I was helped well by an employee and I gained my experience on a Carbon Cub S2, I fly this plane both with safe and without safe optimally, so I want another plane and fly with it for about 4 months, everything is going well. So I'm no longer a beginner in my opinion :) I have 2 aircraft in mind, 1 of which is the Draco 2.0m and the other is carbon Z Trojan T-28, which of the 2 would you choose after the carbon Cub S2? please help!! :)))
If you are looking at a choice between the two, then my recommendation would be the t28 all day long. It’s a much nicer flyer than the Draco imo and more aerobatic too.
Hi, "balsa flyer" here. I have a question, what are the benefits of a foam plane compared to balsa and ply? I have never flown a foamy and for some reason I don't want to, maybe it's just ignorance hence the question.
Ultimately I think it boils down to manufacturability. At the smaller scales, foam is less expensive to produce in mass compared to balsa. They are extremely good flyers usually with much better durability compared to balsa. That said, a well designed rigid balsa airframe does tend to track a bit better in flight.
I hear you there! Those birds thump! You might find my latest build more interesting. It’s a big T-28 with 3 cylinder radial engine. 😁 th-cam.com/play/PLwbLS16akD_61l9wHTEjc23fkmV-xdvhf.html&si=k89K2s3NCaZRpW93
They could have made this plane so much better using alloy shock landing gear like the Jets do and use a good decent paint that doesn't smear off like the Cessna 150 red one did
Have an rc friend. Did not know he was a full size airplane pilot During the conversation He mentionef the best flying airplane he ever flew. Was a 747 So i geuss that bigger is indeed better
I hear you, but honestly we’re talking maybe 1-2oz at most in an airplane that weighs many lbs and the airplane doesn’t know the difference. In this case, the simplicity of just having 2 connectors to plug in vs the otherwise 8 is more desirable for me. It’s a large model that’s kind of awkward to handle and these really help simplify assembling the airplane at the field for me.
Personally I think Eflite missed the mark on this one due to it's size and difficulty in transportation, which has made me pass on this model. If they would have invested some time and money in engineering a quick disconnect wing, or even a three piece wing like the Focke Wulf, then I'd already have this model in my fleet and hangar.
I agree 💯 percent. But keep dreaming probably the worst part of this is the wing connection wires 4 per side I'm getting the same style connectors Chris used to make that a simple task
@RECKEM ROYS RC Those connectors will definitely come in handy and make things a lot easier, but unfortunately the screws holding the wings on, and their receptacles in the fuselage will eventually wear out and fail over time, which has happened to me with two different warbirds so far. I really think the way forward to make transportation and assembly easier in these big models, is the three piece wing with quick attachment and detachment points, such as with the Eflite Focke Wulf and the Draco in their lineup.
I hear you on the 3 piece wing. That would be ideal for this airplane and simplify the transport and field assembly as well. Still an awesome model though imo.
For the price of this kit they should have been aluminum shock landing gear. No reason they shouldn't have done that. The weight wouldn't be that much difference
Totally worth it. It would be better 50 EUR more, better gear, better servo horns (these are a joke), quick cable connector, better prop and more AMP ESC.
Thanks for another great review Chris. With mine on full flaps and low throttle I could fly by like a blimp. She does really good aerobatics as you mentioned. The bright yellow and big size may be helpful for those who have eyesight restrictions or orientation issues with small planes.
Very true!

shorten your servo leads.... that is quite a bit of extra weight that you're hauling around that can be removed easily and improve performance.

@@M4rkmcc21 every little bit helps the performance of the plane.... the more weight you save the better it'll fly....
Personally I think Eflite missed the mark on this one due to it's size and difficulty in transportation, which has made me pass on this model.

It kills me that for the price they don't include a 3 blade prop. Simple swap yeah but why have to do it?😕
I understand.
bet the noise landing gear is bad on grass
I think it would probably do just fine. It has nice big tires, so that helps a lot.
Bigger is better anyway, because you can see the flight model better at a distance, which means you have a larger flight radius.
At distance big or small they all turn into a black silhouette.
@@flycatchful bigger plan = bigger silhouette 😉
For the price point it needs better retracts and wiring.
Bigger is always better

I hear you, that would have been nice. All those things add up in price though, you know?
Ciao miscelazione flap elevatore percentuali grazie mille
I agree it's over priced, for a foamie , foam is very cheap to produce.
more than 700.00 with tax and ship.
Honestly, the value depends on what someone is looking for and what’s important to them, you know?
$700 is a bit steep for a foamy.
I hear you. That’s all relative really as the value depends on what someone is looking for and what’s important to them, you know?
Totally worth it. It would be better 50 EUR more, better gear, better servo horns (these are a joke), quick cable connector, better prop and more AMP ESC.
The profit margin is huge
It needs a three bladed prop!
There is one problem with this flying model, it can’t mow the yard very will.
I fly 5000 and get 10 mins hence the smart technology, timer is slowly fading out for me

Not for the price.
