just started flying a t28 and im a newbee, started on a super cub excellent to learn, but on t28 seems to want to climb all the time even with lots of down on elevator can u advise cheers steve
hey i fly a hobby zone mini super cub i got for christmas and thats the only air plane i flied but im getting really good at it..... do you recommend me getting a t28 trojan?
Do yourself a BIG favor, with any foam plane get some Minwax Polycrylic 1/2 pint semi-gloss or gloss, clean off the foam with rubbing alcohol, with a brush give it 2 or 3 coats of polycrylic (NOT polyurethane) and it makes the colors/decals really 'pop', gives it a smooth finish which makes the plane fly more efficient and wiping off dirt/dust is much easier instead of dirt getting embedded into the foam. It adds hardly any wight and really looks sharp. I did this with my Parkzone T-28 and wow!!
Separate inboard flaps are used on airplane designs for a reason. Lowering the flaps increases the effective angle of attack for that wing section by lowering the chord line. Simulating flaps with flaperon mixing can be useful, but increases the risk of a tip stall on landing compared to the same plane with separate flaps. With separate flaps you might stall the inboard sections, but will still have effective aileron control.
dude all you do is cut the flaps, get some servos, horns, clevis, control rod, then just attach them and plug in the dervo wires into the receiver, if the receiver is not a 5 channel then get a 5 channel receiver and a 5 channel radio, and you are good to go!
Thanks bro but I've never tried such a thing so I'm not too comfortable with cutting up a perfectly good set of wings unless i know what i'm doing. Do you know of any videos that demonstrate this?
what angle do u recomend the flaps be at for this plane and how did u add the flaps i really want to get them and i want to add another servo for channel 5 but i dont know and i want to hear what other people do
is thisplane gas?? or electric?? bcuz i have a HZ supercub thats pretty coool... but i would like something with flaps so i can do rolls and inverted flight. so is thisgas or electric??? and whats the price range on
It's a good plane pyro32121, trust me, I fly it everyday and yes I did start rc planes with a Super Cub. You might want to fly it slow on the first day!
If you can handle high G and quick turns you can definitely fly the T-28 with ailerons! It's not that hard. You just have to get used to the roll of the plane. Hope that helps, message me with any questions you have!
i got a dx6i transmiter and programed flapperons, they work better than conventionAL FLAPS, BECAUSE THEY DON'T REQUIRE EXTRA SERVOS WHICH IN THE END ACT AS DEAD WEIGHT
Great quality and good camera work. These T-28s are a blast to land. I had a problem with my transmitter, loose crystal, just unplug it and plug back in. It's labeled with a sticker that says 17 on the front and bottom left of the controller if I remember right.
thanks for your respond, yup, you are so right it is the ESC...i was able to reset it by disconnecting the motor then connected my TREX motor on it, it works! now it's ready to fly again. THANK YOU for quick return.regards to you. jimmy
Wow! that's nice, i bougth my today, flew it twice...crashed,now nothing works anymore,not even moving servos nothing responding to the radio, any idea what should i do? BTW this is my first rc plane.
Dear RC brother: try flying RC simulator (if not already); fun and save $; keeps me from pushing my luck on poor weather days, while keeping the fingers loose and ready for sunshine.

If you are compitent with the Super Cub, the Trojan is alot of fun. You could definitely handle that or the corsair,
The Trojan's wing loading is a bit lighter so it is very docle or aerobatic. IMO

Hello.
I got few days ago a DX6i and I have the trojan as well. I would like to built flaps on mine. Does it really make a difference landing with flaps?
Thank you
felipesgirl35 1 year ago
When I put flaperons on it (im useing a JR radio) the flaperons dont move that much and its hard to turn with the flaps down

Does it have 2 servos for alerions STOCK?
geekpeptalk 2 years ago
2 servos for ailerons (stock)
And 2 HS55 servos for the flaps. 1 channel "y"ed together.
The flaps are a mod.
You can find build instructions on RC Groups

get a computer radio like the dx6i and program flaps into it using the ailerons. you have less control but you don't have to cut up the wings.
ManeatingFrog 2 years ago
or program a dx6 to do it with out any cut required

if you have a radio that does elevon/flap mixing you can do it with the radio. i use the dx6

i think you mean ailerons, flap go down to give more lift and mostly used for landing. ailerons roll the plane.

Flaperons work, but the flight characteristics are better with seperate flaps. I have flown both ways.
As for the weight, this plane is overpowered out of the box. (which is always nice) not a concern. IMHO

Try unplugging the esc and use a standard 4.8v pack in the receiver to test.
My guess it is something with the ESC.
