Parkzone Trojan T-28D maiden with hand launches, take offs and landings

[acemakr]

I'm a beginner. The club I'll be joining recommended the T-28. Any trouble with those tiny wheels in the grass? Didn't appear to be.

[BooooDog]

I love it !!! DumbThumbs..lol Really, great video ! I like the place you are fying as well, no trees unlike my flying spot.

[rcflyer40plus1]

Yeah, that is quite a beautiful flying field! Just few my T-28D yesterday, always a pleasure. What are you flying these days?

[canamwing]

This aircraft is truly the Best! Value for the money BIG TIME!

[rockcrawling43]

Beautiful place to fly.

[stratofrede]

What a great place to fly! Nice video! :)

[jtkent28]

Great video... This Virginia by any chance??

[gradius02]

How long is a flight on the stock battery?

[Dumbthumbs]

@gradius02 Depends a lot on how you fly...I used 2200mah 3S and got about 6-9 miunutes...ymmv.

[RCPlaneFlyer16]

@gradius02 You usually get10-12 gunning it (at least I do) And 15-ish when gliding a lot :)

[SVenables97]

Can you use walkera lipo batterys for this plane

[Dumbthumbs]

@SVenables97 You need 3S and 1800mah at least, though I wouldn't fly it with less than 2200 mah, flight times will just be too short. I don't know what a Walkera lipo has, but if it doesn't have at least the above, don't bother.

[roberttreboranita]

good flying and really nice green countryside! i live in spain and everything is brown and burnt!! cheers

[Pilotsofer]

wow! that thing takes right off!

[helloimmisterj]

very nice video :-) btw: whats that song called?

[josh71111]

Just got this plane, I'm still kinda a beginner, hope I can fly it.

[fisherboom]

Hiya mate its Kris of rcgroups just got my T-28 mate cant wait to fly it :P

Love your vids by the way :D

[VonBooros]

Great vid, loving the landing skills. Inspired me to buy my own Trojan, order placed today!

[scoobydo0214]

Great take-offs and landings.

[steveoh2395]

great vid and even better looking flying feild ...wow

[Dumbthumbs]

@steveoh2395 Thanks Steveoh!

[jankaps82]

I'm surprised the landing gear holds out after all those rough landings!!

[Dumbthumbs]

@jankaps82 Yeah, it is flimsy, but it takes a beating! The gear is still there after nearly 150 flights on that bird, and it now has a 4S 950W powerplant on it too. I had to repair it once recently after a hard landing, but somehow...

[toyyou2jp]

Is this a Parkzone T-28 RC plane? You fly pretty good.

[Dumbthumbs]

@toyyou2jp - Yes this is the Parkzone T-28. Thanks for the compliment!

[hyamuha]

ich fand doof dass das bugrad mit seitenruder gekoppelt ist habs abgekoppelt und leicht zurückgebogen

[Dumbthumbs]

@hyamuha - Ja, das ist doof, aber ich habe es so gelassen.

[ograymare]

i just got my t-28d and i wouldn't change a thing it is already very fast and glides very very well on landing please respond t this comment

[Dumbthumbs]

@ograymare - At some point you will want more power, but stock is also nice to fly. Check out my Turnigy upgrade videos for more info.

[Flymigi]

Klasse !! ist das Modell so motorisiert wie es aus der Schachtel kommt ? Weil dann kauf ich mir auch einen ! Video gefällt mir sehr gut !!

Gruss Micha

[Dumbthumbs]

@Flymigi

HI Flymigi, ja das ist ganz Stock, aber Lipo ist 2200 3s 20C. Aber der fliegt wie ein Traum aus dem Box...nur zu empfehlen! Für ein Tuning T-28 siehe meine andere Videos mit dem Turnigy 35-36C

[Flymigi]

@Dumbthumbs Hallo!! Ich konnte ehrlich gesagt deine Antwort nicht abwarten und bin heute morgen ab zum Modellbauladen :)

Zusammengeschraubt ist das Dingens ja in Minuten, nur anderen Stecker an den Regler gelötet (fliege mit MPX Steckern) und raus zum fliegen! Wirklich ein Traum.

Als Akku benutze ich Saehan 3S 2500mAh, die haben 190 gramm (von denen hab ich nen ganzen Koffer voll, da ich die auch in meinem MPX Gemini fliege) das ging soweit ganz gut. Wie machst du den Akku fest? Gruss Micha

[Dumbthumbs]

@Flymigi - Glückwunsch! Ich liebe immer noch meiner T-28. Er fliegt immer noch :) Mein Flieger ist nun getuned...Turnigy 35-36C, 30C 3S 2650Mah Akku und 60A ESC, 10x7 APC E Prop. Ich befestige die Batterien mit einem guten Klettverschlussband. Bisher kein Problem. Das lässt auch den CG ändern falls andere Akku grösse etc. Das setup kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen. Viel Spass beim fliegen!

Gruß

[Flymigi]

@Dumbthumbs Hallo und vielen Dank für die zahlreichen Infos. Motoren hab ich noch allerhand hier rumliegen, ich betreibe RC Modellbau seit 15 Jahren, da findet sich bestimmt was besseres, im Moment macht mit nur die Akkubefestigung Sorgen. Denn vorne in dem "Tunnel" kann ich ihn nicht reinstecken, weil da ist der Schwerpunkt zu weit vorne und weiter hinten wo schon so eine Fläche frei ist, da will einfach kein Klettband sicher halten, habe schon Sekundenkleber und Epoxy probiert..Gruss Micha

[nistrum23]

I got my trojan yesterday, just gotta rewire her for my battery and were good to go :) wish me luck :D

[Dumbthumbs]

@nistrum23

Good luck mate! You will love it!

[nistrum23]

[airmakeup]

Hi! great Video 5 stars! you recomend this plane for beginners?

well, i fly (hover) a blade 400, walkera 4-3b helis

and im practice with realfligt 3.5

i wanna buy a plane and some people recomends me this one. what do you thing?

thanks a lot!

greetings from Mexico

[Dumbthumbs]

Hi I wouldn't recommend this plane as your first plane, it is a bit too fast and agile. I recommend the Hobbyzone Supercub as a first plane, and this one as a second. That being said, you CAN fly this first, just expect to repair it a lot.

Let me know which one you go with!

[Jakestg]

Ive been flying the cub forever now and I mastered it... I want to get the T28D but is it different than the normal t28? I got a Dx5e Remote and the Receiver. So I might get the PNP vers.

[Dumbthumbs]

HI Jake, only the color is different. Make sure if you get the red one that it has the 30A ESC and not the 25A. They should both ship with 30A now though. I have/had both colors and the white/red version is easier to see, but the Air Force one looks cooler in my opinion. If you have mastered the cub, you can step up to the T-28. That is how I did it. Crashed it hard in the beginning (as you can see in the videos) but the T-28 is really an easy-going flyer. I highly recommend it!

[badkarma52]

i have a lot of problems hand launching my trojan.  I use a dx5e. I can take it off from the ground, but the nose gear is failing on me now. do you have any suggestions for a successful hand launch?

[Dumbthumbs]

HI Badkarma52, here are some things that may help:

Give the Elevators some up trim before you launch it, maybe just a few clicks. Be sure to retrim it in the air.

Launch at full gas and point it at 45° in the air after a good toss, toss it hard.

Hold the plane in your left hand, and use your mout to give full throttle on the controller, and that way your right hand is on the elevator when you throw it for more up/down control (assuming Mode 2).

[Dumbthumbs]

Also:

Use a neck strap for your controller if you don't already. It makes it way easier to hand launch.

Make sure the plane is not nose heavy when you launch it.

Make sure throttle is at full before your throw it too! I can't think of anything else yet.

Good luck! Hope that helps! Oh, and practice on a grass field not on pavement!

[Corinthoswarehouse]

Love Your Flying!!

[Dumbthumbs]

Thanks!

[mozlob2]

im from brisbane australia and im 12 and i flew my trojon by my self for the first time last saterday it fly smooth but i might put a better motor on it!!!

[Dumbthumbs]

I have posted a video of the T-28 with the Turnigy SK35-42 motor. It really smokes with that thing! Unlimited vertical. The 35-36C from Turnigy is actually better though. Congratulations on your first flight! I hope you will continue to enjoy the T-28 as much as I have!

[pheralcat]

Nice flight! That new T-28 looks fun.

[Dumbthumbs]

Thanks mate! I love this plane, this is my second T-28, still waiting on delivery of the upgrade parts for her though. Will post video of her after the upgrades.

[aileronjack]

Hey Dumbthumbs:

I noticed a rubberband on the rear of the canopy (probably to hold it on). Try reversing the polarity of the magnets....it should fix the problem,,,,

[Dumbthumbs]

Hey aileronjack, the problem is the canopy came improperly cut from the factory. It does not fit on well, so the magnet is useless. I would keep it on even if it did though, because on my first T-28 the canopy bailed on me at 100 feet up. Since then I have always had a band there.

[Dumbthumbs]

Thanks Kenneth! That field is a dream to fly at, and there are rarely other flyers out there, so most of the time I have it to myself.

Good luck with the maiden, I hope it goes better than my other T-28's maiden flight! Remember to fly high, like four mistakes high and go easy on the throttle. It should fly nice and slow in the air at half throttle once you get some height, then you can trim it out. Have fun, you will love the plane!

[KenethOath]

awesome video mate :)

i love that paint scheme i just bought a t28 and will maiden this saturday, i hope i fly half as smooth as you :), i didnt even know there was a t28d , and to top it off that looks like one of the most beautiful locations for RC flying ive seen :)

cheers from sydney , Aus..
