#rc #airplane #t28
Very new to this world and desperately trying to take in as much information as possible to help my 13 year old with this hobby. Setting up the NX8 is a but of a learning curve for us, especially taking the jump from the RTF world. I must have watched this video 20 times trying to go step by step with you andthe transmitter setup. I’m not sure I figured it out yet, but I think I’m getting there! I just keep pausing to make sure I’m following the setup correctly. I can only hope I get the ability to navigate and make the necessary changes as fast as you do. It makes my head spin at this stage of learning. Thank you for your detailed videos…they do in fact help the rookies like me more than you know!
Man, the neighbors that live to the left of you are very lucky! I wish I lived there if only to watch you fly. But I know I couldn’t resist and would have to come over and bug you. Thank you for all your hard work and the camera crews hard work! I am very excited about this one!
Thanks Rich! They don't ever do any of this. I suspect they wanted it to be very quiet, oh well ;)
Already pre-ordered mine. Thanks Bryan for your thorough discussion on one of my favorite models. As always, hats off to camera crew.😁😎👍
It is amazing, this model!!! So good, you will LOVE IT!
I have the V1 and preordered this one! Another great video Brian and Mrs. Phillips. Really admire your honesty in the reviews, you do the RC consumer a great service!
This plane is a JOY to fly. I just flew it again tonight...again on 4000mAh 4S 30C G1 pack, and about 10-12 minutes, then warning and I back off for another 5 minutes of scale flight...so much fun. It's an ABSOLUTE joy to fly. Good weather or bad...it is an EVERY-DAY-FLIER!!!!
LOVE this plane, future buy for sure when I feel like my skills meet up to it. Looks awesome and flies effortlessly.
Just preordered mine today using your link. Thanks for another great review !!! Can't wait to get this in for my brithday. Love the great content and the adult humor at times keeps things light and fun to watch. p.s. LOVE THE REVIEW ON THE YAK 130
AWESOME! Glad you enjoyed the Yak too, that plane was WAY better than I expected it would be.
Brian, I want to thank you for your thoroughness and attention to detail. I just bought the T28 Trojan V2 and two 3200 mAh 4s 3c Smart Batteries from your UA-cam link. Your place looks like somewhere Iowa, my extended family is from Kalona Welman area, so thank you for your help from Ok. USA America! 👍
Very cool! We're a waze away from there, but I do some business in Eastern Iowa too.
Just ordered one of these and 3200 4S G2 through your link. Can't wait to fly this beauty! Will look good in my hangar next to the Carbon Cub S2, RV-7, and new UMX Pitts! Really enjoy your channel!
You're gonna love it - amazing plane!!!
How do you like the plane so far. I just got one after having the 1.1 version for 2 years.
@@genes6703 I love it! It comes along with me every flight as a warm up plane. I did upgrade the nose wheel landing gear to the Freewing T-33 as the stock one bends easy on my bumpy runway (grass). No more issues after that! Great flying plane with excellent rudder authority, slow flight stability, and great 4S speed!
I'm currently restoring my first version 1.2, and yeah my control horns are flipped in the back, elevator and rudder. I rebuilt my motor mount and made a new plywood firewall, adjusted it 2 degrees and 5 degrees motor angle, and one thing I didn't have, was the radial engine insert. You were talking about people getting creative..... I cut the bottom of a 2 L Mountain Dew bottle, and used it as my radial engine. Now I have a 5-cylinder radial, LOL
Hey Brian, an easier and less fussy way to check that SAFE is on is to leave it on the stand and just push one of the wings down into a bank angle. if the ailerons go up and down and stay that way, you're in SAFE. No need to pick it up and flip it upside down and spin it around. Less manhandling and just as definitive. As always thanks for the videos, both build and flights. Always informative!
You can't always see the change. Trying to help newbies with the flip test.
Great flight ✈️ Brian!!! I have the original Bnf basic with out safe. I fly it on 3200. 4s and it’s amazing. One of my favorite warbirds
Me too ;) Still lives!
Did you change the esc to fly on 4s ?I have the original also with the 40 amp esc and want to try 4s ?
Love the look of this plane and the way it flies.
Flies sooooo good!
I ordered one too Brian, thanks for the great work you and the honey are doing!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I finally tried your rubber shelf liner Mod..Works awesome!!. No slippage on battery and no annoying velcro stuck to my battery!!..I just watched a patrincic brothers video of motion rc,s Freewing 80mm t33.They said it comes with a rubber liner for the battery tray...UM, maybe u should of patented the Idea!...lol...thanks as always Brian!.. Ps, I finally gave in. I bought a spektrum smart charger and G2 battery I couldnt be happier...BUT I am sticking with my radio master TX16s (i figured out forward programming).I have safe and as3x on a 3 position switch something people were having a hard time with. I just like the controller alot better. Also the entire line of the eachines 400mm planes come already programmed into the newer version of the radio master TX16s.(eachine now puts out there own rm tx16s).Either way i love the videos and info u always share thank you!..
Best in the game…. Listen to this man and his lovely camera crew😀😀😀
Thanks Mike!
GOOD MORNING FROM ENGLAND BRIAN. IM SO HAPPY HH HAVE BROUGHT THIS AMAZING LOOKING AND GREAT FLYING PLANE OUT. CAN'T WAIT UNTIL ON SALE IN ENGLAND. THIS YEAR IS LOOKING GREAT SO FAR FOR OUR HOBBY (EXSPENCIVE YEAR LOL) THANKYOU FOR FILMING CAMERA CREW 💐. HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.🇬🇧🇺🇸⭐🌟✨✌️👍
Thanks, and yep...it'll be an over-priced, but amazing year of catch up!!!!!!!!! Can't wait!
Great video! I'm so stoked to get one of these! I love my 1.1m. Also, I'm glad you pointed out the crappy cut/fit on the canopy. My 70mm Viper, 70 and 80mm F-16 ALL were like that. I did tell HH about the viper canopy. They were cool about it and sent me a replacement canopy. But it was actually worse than the original and unusable. Hopefully that is a problem that will be fixed in the future. Still love HH though. Maybe just need to get some new people in their QC department. Again, love your video's! #1 RC Channel on UA-cam!!
@@samdavis4471 That's a very vague response. Though, would you like a cookie for that? It's still branded and sold as/by HH. FMS has made planes for a bunch of other companies as well.
Still puzzled out of my whole comment I get a reply "FMS makes the plane" 😂 😂
Not being mean, just thought it was funny lol hope you have a great day!
I do have a pair of canopy trimmers, and I might just trim the corners a bit. Very good otherwise. Minor issue on this plane!
Great info in your vids. Just picked up the NX8 through the link buddy. I hope they break you off a good piece. Keep up the good work camera crew
Thanks, and we appreciate you doing it. Glad you got the NX8! You will love it!!!
Brian, I just love your "Billy Mays" introductions. 😂
Looks like I'm in the market for a new plane. Thanks!
If I were a GOOD pitch man, I'd have to be a lot more dishonest ;) LOL
I love my new T-28 so they are shipping now. Can't wait to fly it
AWESOME!!!
An idea for your stand, get a second stand and shorten the tubs for your smaller planes.
I love your videos. I do watch them all the way through, even if I already have seen it.
That would work!
Very nice! Going to have to expand the hobby room... Agreed no Pilot Fatigue on my prop planes. Need an updated Mustang 1.2 next. Definitely adding lights.
Totally!
Just maidend mine today in some medium high winds. I didn't have any issues with it except the grass field has some rough spots and on one landing the thing dug in at the tail end of the roll out and flipped over (just a little paint removed from the top of the vertical stab). The only reason I didn't get one of these earlier is because I fly a lot off grass but I have found a couple of ways to manage that now that should work when not at the main field with a runway. I do not recommend this to a beginner pilot as there is a lot going on. You have to have good throttle management and in addition to flying be able to think about using the gear and flaps as well. That's just extra complications for a beginner. That said I'm loving this plane and hope I can maintain the health of that nose wheel strut.
You can, just hit the mains and your nose gear will live a long life ;)
SUPER GREAT CAMERA 🎥 WORK. I’m a shutter bug my self. I get it, not easy. 👍
Thanks!!!
On my 1.0, I activated safe using E-Flite's Desktop Software. I like safe as a back-up panic switch and landing in high winds, worked great, but I also added an upgraded ESC so I could fly on 4S, it has turned into my favorite plane. I hope E-Flite brings back all their 120mm Warbirds in 2.0, would love to get another P-47 Razorback as a back-up to my modded one in case I can't repair it.
yes!
I would like to activate safe on mine how can I find out about how to do that?
Awesome review and setup action, thanks Team Phillips. Note: scroll wheel on my NX10 occasionally gets kinda gummy as rolling action applied.
I'm trying to work this out on my NX8 too... I cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol, which helped some...but not 100% still
These videos from Brian and the camera crew.
are very cool and are spoken in human language so that we beginners can understand what needs to be done.
p.s.
I'm a beginner in this sport, and I really like to put together and hang some airplanes in my room that I get to use, ha ha, there must be some discussion at home about this and this is how it is,
FMS Kingfisher 1400mm
Twin Beechcraft D18 1.5m BNF Basic
P-51D Mustang 1.2m with Smart BNF Basic
Hangar 9 Fun Scale P-47 Thunderbolt PNP 58.4" Balsa wood.
E-flite Cherokee 1.3m BNF Airplane (1308mm) w/AS3X & SAFE
E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.2m Bind-N-Fly Airplane w/Smart ESC, AS3X & SAFE.
Now it's time to practice flying ha ha.
Brian and the camera crew thanks for the great video
Brian and camera crew
Merry Christmas.
Peter
Hey Brian your videos are some of the best regarding rc airplanes. Thanks for what you do! My only hope for the channel would be a camera with a nice lens that allows for close up in flight shots and a heavy duty tripod that would make it very easy to follow and pan. I think I speak for all the airplane nerds who would appreciate being able to see the beautiful airplane while flying instead of a black speck.
Yes.
I thought you were gonna dance a little jig or something, I can tell you really like that plane, great job guys thank u for the cold filming !!! Lmao
It is so good! I've flown it about 15-20 times since and it hasn't let me down yet!
From HH Product support Oct 25 2022:
"Hello,
Reverse thrust is not supported on the T-28 1.2 as it uses an avian lite esc. We do not promote or recommend the use of reverse thrust on this model, this is why it is not in the manual or put on supporting documents and our official promotional video. If you choose to add that you can upgrade to a full avian ESC to get that programmability and capability.
Thank You,
Why watch any other RC reviews? Just watch Brian`s detailed build , set-up and flying videos and you know all you need and more! Thanks Brian and Meghan!
Thank you, sincerely!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Just finished the build. Easy, thanks to you...
Ive never got real excited about the T-28 until I saw this plane. I got the new release email from eflite on this plane and was thinking.. Yeah I will probably get it at some point soon.
It is very good, and you know I've flown a lot...I get around ;) LOL
I wish they had the brake force info in all of the manuals with the Avian ESC. I learned about it by seeing it in the Cessna 150t manual then contacted Horizon support to verify that it should be used on any plane that was able to utilize the reverse feature of the Avian ESC. So the same holds true for planes like the TT Evo, A-10 and whatever else is able to use reversing. I think the TT Evo has the same info showing the brake force as 7 but cannot recall off hand.
I was told 7 by one of the engineers at HH. Not sure if 7 is too much or not enough, but I've been real happy with the way it works ;)
Great Job, Great Plane. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks! Awesome plane!!!
Patiently waiting for nice weather to fly in Upstate NY. I have the Eflite T-28 Trojan 1.1m that I built and still haven't taken it up yet. Winter has been awful here. This looks awesome though.
That yellow little bird is still my favorite plane.
AGREED!
Another great and awesome video from Brian Phillips and his wonderful camera crew ! Great Plane, I just wish I waited a little bit longer for this release , the version 2. Hey Brian could you link where you get the drawer mat you use with keeping battery secure in your planes ? I will definitely be picking up this plane also for my fleet. You are the Best ! Never Stop the RC !
Shelf liner - amzn.to/3pp9eZ4 - this is similar to what we're using...very cheap...but if you get a lot, you can tell your wife you need more planes to "use it up" - LOL ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian ! and I will try and tell the Wife just that.. LOL :)
Thanks for all of your great videos, my question is I have the Flight 1.2 version 2 and love it ! If you can is the FMS 1400 new version as much fun and as easy to fly ?
I got the 1.1 awhile back and love it. Then I see other brands with landing gear and flaps so I get one of those. It’s nice but not very forgiving on the landing gear. And now HH does this one LoL. And this is by far the better of the 2. I would like to see how you would do LED’s if it can be done.
They already had one years ago, and it was great. The 1.1m has a time and place, and you will still LOVE it when you get this too ;) Do it - totally different flight experience!
The T-28 flew air cover for us in Vietnam,,,, they were gray with the shark mouth and eye ,,, I would like to see them come out with a Vietnam vision Thanks Brian & c/crew your video are helping me a ton
Thx for this!
You bet! Awesome plane BTW - I got another 9-10 flight in last night, and they were simply amazing!!!! So fast, so slow, so clean, and just LOVE that I can literally land with 2-3 feet of rollout if I wish - such a cool feature!!!
Man still waiting for my prosteses but I'm ready u gave me alot of information can't wait
I'm sorry, but what prosteses are you waiting on, if it's not inappropriate to ask?
@@BrianPhillipsRC my right leg. I'm trying to get a job at the I hope lol
equally impressed with the camera crew!
Thank you Brian and Megan. Have the 1.1 and love it. Have been waiting for this version and ordered it two days ago. I am disappointed it doesn’t have LED’s. Since this is a feature often omitted on different models how about showing us how to add LED ‘s to this model? Thank you and keep up the great work.
We've done a bunch of videos showing how we add led's, but it's a time consuming thing, and we don't do it much any more. It's not that we don't care, but we've learned that the twilight hours are tough for US to film in too...so the LED's are less critical to filming, and more critical to enjoying it for yourself.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I realized this after I made the request. Perhaps you can reference one or two of the videos you have already covered installation of LED’s. Thank you
I have a Radiomaster TX16S and I run a 4000mAH Glacier battery in that. In a way I wish I had bought the NX8 or NX10. Only reason being is using the simulator I can’t use all the same switches because one switch on my transmitter is a momentary that I use for rescue or call out.
I hear that's a good Radiomaster.
Great flight
I agree, and thanks!
I just got the T28 1.2, used from a friend. It's been crashed and I had to disassemble the glue job and rebuild it. I'll post it when it's finished it's a complete redo
If you can't get the glue apart, try CA Accelerator - this will break down most China Glues.
Something like this... Kicker amzn.to/2CQf24D
Yeah I was originally going to try nail polish remover but it'll eat foam pretty bad I imagine ....
Beautiful
Thank you
I was in my LHS today and they had the new yellow carbon z trojan 2.0 on the shelf. When are u doing a review?
Hi Brian great video, we followed the setup android noticed that the SAFE angle limits for roll right and left are 80, doesn't that seem pretty high?
I like less limits...helps with tight flying sites.
As always grate job😎😎😁
Thanks Boss!
Does the Spektrum NX6 have enough features to operate everything on this plane including thrust reverse?
BP....you forgot to mention that you have to calibrate the throttle and be in High rates in order to get into the Avian ESC 🙂 Great Vids
I was hoping they would bring that one back! Happy to see that you got one although I’m kind of jealous right now😂. I had a question about the 1.1 t28. I crashed mine and put the pieces back together. It still flies great even with a bunch of glue and toothpicks in it. I’m thinking about putting in some flaps. I was wondering if I change the wing type will it reset the whole model or just add the flaps for me? It’s ok either way but I’m curious what to expect. Thanks for all you do for us.
I don't think you HAVE to change the wing type, but if you do, should be okay. If the AS3X or SAFE changes it's behavior, then you can go back to the stock setup and make a manual mix. No problemo
I have the yellow trojan and absolutely love it. Really wanting to add this plane to my hanger. I have the NX 6transmitter. Would that work for this plane. Since it has flaps and retracts.
You can do it, but you'll lose A feature...
In NO particular order
1 Throttle
2 Ailerons
3 Rudder
4 Elevator
5 Flaps
6 Retracts
7 SAFE OR Thrust Reverse - See...you'll lose something. If you don't NEED SAFE...give it up on this plane, and get Thrust Reverse. You'll love it!
This is why I've been saying for a couple years now, GET THE NX8!!! Sorry. The NX6 is great, but we have finally run into an issue ;(
This is gonna be awesome
Sure is!
In another comment I was describing how I bought a trashed 1.2 T28 OG. All the control surfaces were taped back on, the rudder had a zip tie through it. After redoing the plane, to reattach the control surfaces, I came up with a cool idea.... I made new hinges out of the straps that come on big packaging.... itworks unbelievably. It's strong, it's light, and it's cheap. I just figured I'd throw my couple ideas I've had on here to help anyone else out in the same situation. Take a guess what color scheme I'm using... 😏👍🇺🇦
I FREEKIN LOVE YOU DUDE.. you so funny i love how you just laugh it out and that laugh! AWSOME
Awesome! Thanks Alex
HALLO captain. Brian Phillips Rc,and crew. I, LOVE,this T28. WOW
I want one ,when,I have the ,money. Love it.I have to, practice more,before,I will get it. But ,it looks VERY stabilized.Mvh RENE Pedersen.Danmark.Thanks.
Excellent! You'll love it!
Hi Brian, in one of your videos or in answer to this comment, can you describe the 2 trim switches at the top of the NX8 I haven't seen anything in the book that tells what they are for. (Ordered the radio from your channel)
Since this is a computerized transmitter, you can use them for whatever you want, but don't have to use them at all. Some guys like to use them for trims in alternate flight modes, but I personally just don't really find any use for them.
Great video as always man. I've got the fms t28 1450 and it flys on rails. Why no lights? You would think by now every plane would have them.
I agree. Don't know why, but otherwise, LOVE THE PLANE!!!
Any idea why my motor rotates when I try to fasten the propeller on my brand new T-28? This prevents me from tightening it down enough.
Dammit Horizon you found another way to get my moolah.
YEAH!!!
Hi! Brian!, I just bougth the DX8e radio but I wanna know if this one has the reverse function for the throttle.
I had the same issue with CG so I put 5 OZ lead in the Fuselage rear. am confused why E-Flight would design a plane with the battery tray that can't be used?
That a LOT of lead!!!
Just used your link for mine!
Thanks!!!! We appreciate you doing this!
Will this Trojan work with my dx6e. Will it be like the viper 70mm setup whe4r safe is on the landing flaps?
You will not have all the features we showed, due to not enough channels. BUT you can get it to bind and use the plane, just won't have full features.
You always do great displaying your planes! How would this compare power-wise to the 1.2m Mustang? I have the Mustang and I am thinking about upgrading to the 70 amp ESC that comes with this plane. How long is the battery cable from the IC3 connector to the ESC itself? Thanks!
Similar. Don't need any upgrade on this or the P-51, in my opinion. They're both WONDERFUL stock!!! That's part of the reason we LOVE HH planes...almost never need any mods to be good. You can make them BETTER, but now they're just coming out of the box GREAT!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks! I agree, The Mustang flys great stock on 4s.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Where I fly, it is always pretty hot so the ESC in my 1.2m mustang is always toasty after any flight on 4s. I was thinking of upgrading the stock 40 amp ESC to the new 70 amp ESC that comes in this T28. Would you be able to test the T28 70 amp ESC in your 1.2m mustang to make sure everything works out? I tried getting an Avain 45 amp ESC for my mustang and it makes all the servos buzz and move erratically. Thanks for the help:)
Hi Brian as always an excellent and informative video. I have a question for you do you think that beautiful 3 blade prop would fit on the 1.1 meter T28 Trojan? Keep up the great work that you guys are doing in the winter 🥶 I know how your hands feel!! Your friend Marty from Canada 🇨🇦 🛩 🛩
It would be pretty heavy, and you might blow out the motor, I fear.
More pitch and more size...which means a LOT more load. There are other 3 bladed props out there, but this one is probably too big for the 1.1m, unfortunately.
I mistakenly bought the PNP version then added the AR631. I have everything working including SAFE & reverse thrust, but can't get AS3X to respond even @4X and after throttling up.
If you have SAFE working, but you can't get it to switch, did you possibly accidentally NOT activate AS3X on one of the switch conditions you used, and assigned through a flight mode in Forward Programming??? I could see you ACCIDENTALLY deactivating it...but it would be on by default if you built the model following a similar PNP plane.
Did you download the file, or make it from scratch?
@@BrianPhillipsRC from scratch. I downloaded a profile, but didn't like the quadrillion switch selections. It shows AS3X active on my FM switch...I'll check the gain. Maybe it's too low.
A Brian this model looks great, & a good job camara crew as always, So seven years you have been flying nice if can fly as good as you in seven years I'll be well happy, I like the way you have set your switches up G for reverse B flaps D AS3X & SAFE there's nothing to stop us useing D for Safe set up on all past and future modles is there, plus it would keep it away from A switch for gear if you can keep all switches the same for all models it helps with the head & memory when your getting on abit, I have a freind that would like to get into the hoby & so excited about the Trojan so iv'e said Iv'e said steady up abit & slow down, I don't want him to become as you say one&done, in your vid you did say about a first plane to start with before the Trojan if we ask!! so please, what you thinking, something like the AeroScout!! I keep singing your prases & your Channel
Thank you both Stay Safe

Both ;)
T-28 1.2m is one of my favorites...and yes, I too love the P-51 1.2m
@@BrianPhillipsRC both it is! Thank you.
Hi, I bought this plane from your links. But when I'm using my Radiomaster Zorro transmitter I cannot get the safe select button to work on Channel 7, it only works on Channel 6 but then I lose functionality of my flaps. Any ideas to get it to work on channel 7? My travel on channel 7 is -100, 0, 100 3-pos switch I verified with channel monitor. I can't figure it out... I can't get it to assign to channel 5 either. But for some reason Channel 6 works everytime to get it to work for safe select on and off. I follow this procedure: Sticks in and down, then power on plane, then flip the switch I want to use up and down 5 times.
You have to use FORWARD PROGRAMMING to make these settings, so I'm not sure how that works on Radiomaster.
Forward programming is accessible from the spektrum branded transmitters. I'm sorry, but I just don't know - wish I did!
Hey Brian, just got this trojan, and all your mods and setting up process really helps so thanks for that. Just a question about something. There is a lead coming off the throttle wires that isn’t connected to anything. It only has a yellow wire on the connector. Do you know what’s that’s for? Is for FPV or LEDs or something like that. Thanks
This is the programming lead for the ESC, which you don't need unless you're using this thing...
Avian ESC Programmer Firmware Updater bit.ly/3PFWmZY
Brian, I was wondering why you need to set up safe, as3x as flight modes. Can’t you just set them up on a switch and not thru the flight mode method. Is there a benefit to using the flight modes. Thanks
Good day and thanks for the great video from you and co pilot.
If you had to choose, which plane would you choose,
T-28 Trojan 1.2 or T-28 1.4

I just set up my breaking like yourself on the video (thanks for the tutorial btw) did you ever reduce the breaking of the prop? I'm thinking level 4 or 5? that seemed to be the level u wanted but u went with the technicians advice. cheers. Mark 🇬🇧
Actually, I want 0 for breaking, but the manufacturer recommended the higher values to help the motor "prepare to reverse". I personally want it to just free-spin (tractor) at 0% throttle and help create drag on final. This is one drawback I can see in the Thrust Reverse, but I could also make a throttle curve to give me a larger range at 0%, to allow the effects of the breaking to be less of a factor...but for now, it's working well, so probably won't play with it on this plane.
Hi, is the fms 1.4 t28 landing gear fits the eflite t28 1.2?
I had signal loss on my Dynam T28 probably do to low battery in my transmitter, sometimes it shows full battery but after checking the batteries with a multimeter it's actually low voltage 😮💨. So I think that's the reason for my crash ,sucks .
Now I'm in the market for a T28 I may get one of these soon .🤔
NOOOOOOOOOO! I'm sorry to hear Rafael!!!
Brian spray silicone in the foam on your stand slide it back and forth a few time then wipe off an extra and you'll set
I want to try Talc...so it's not as messy....but I can get that done if the talc doesn't work. Thanks Harry!
The Silcone is gone after a day it just dries up what you don't wipe off after you slide it the full length a few times
Hey Brian could u show a video showing when ur gear is down that the rudder and nose gear has expo and when gear goes up its normal..all the while still having dual rates and expo on a three way switch like u usually do..is that possible?
Are you asking to see HOW to tie an EXPO/Rate SETTING to another switch, like GEAR?
If so, you can do that in a number of ways. Do it EXACTLY like I do in the Radio Setup part of the video, only use the GEAR switch instead of the "F" Switch like I normally do. This means you would have the "middle" "F" switch setting on GEAR UP position of the now "A" switch, then some HIGHER expo (or lower???) when the GEAR are down.
Here's my issue with your request...it's not that you CAN'T do this, but I fear that you'll mix in some new bad habits in your flying. That being said, when you're new to flying RC, this is a great time to experiment and learn how to do these things...even if you might only do it on this plane. Just be ware, there will come a day when you fly the same plane without your special setup, and you'll be bamboozled as to why ;)
Here's my recommendation...play with the mixing and the switch assignments, and see what works for YOU. This is all highly subjective, and I'm not right / you're not wrong....we all get to fit the transmitter to our specific needs. So, by all means, make it work how you want, but just be aware you MIGHT be building in some bad habits when you over handicap yourself.
Hope this makes sense, and please hear it as trying to help you out, and not take the wind out of your sails ;)
Hey Brian, great review as always
I bought it, such a nice plane.
Do you know how I can get an additional channel for reverse, since I have flaperon setup?. In NX6 I heard there is a passive 7th channel for SAFE, can we have such 9th channel in NX8 too ?
I'm using NX8 and my current channel configs are - 1-Throttle, 2-Ailerons, 3-Elevator, 4-Rudder, 5- Left Flap, 6- Right-Flap, 7-Gear, 8-SAFE
Why are you using flapperons? CROW? or FULL LENGTH? If you're FULL LENGTH Flapperon (vs Crow), you can do it now...you already have enough channels.
If you MUST have the Flapperons (for CROW - IE separate FLAP and 2nd aileron channel) then you'll need to give up on SAFE select possibly. Are you even using it???? If NOT, might be what you give up....just lock in AS3X all the time, and then blammo-wammy-free-channel-for-you :)
You can do thrust revers on any channel over 5, I believe. If not, you have to upgrade firmware.
My bad, I mean using flap as Ailerons. I used to assign safe. Seems like I have to give up SAFE to get the additional channel.
Brian your enthusiasm for this plane inspired me to purchase it and I did so through your link. I’m happy to contribute to your channel through a great company like horizon. You and your wife do an excellent job bringing enthusiasm to the hobby. This will be my third plane and first professionally built product. It will set in my hobby room as inspiration to become a better pilot, I currently only have experience on Flight Test foam board home builds and I feel like this plane deserves a pilot with more skills than I currently have to offer it. I mentioned it before but you should consider attaching your timer to your throttle hold switch so that every time you shut down to explain things you keep an accurate flight timer. I can’t take credit for the idea though, I learned it from CoeShow619 an amazing heli pilot on UA-cam. What are your thoughts on a hard dirt runway with this plane?
Dirt runway should be no problem, but GRAVEL...not so much. Better to cut the grass short and mains only!
Glad you watched, and glad you purchased through our links! Thanks Matt, but you are gonna love this plane so much! It flies absolutely amazingly!
As for the timer thing, I do that sometimes, like on a sail plane, but keep in mind, on an AS3X or other stabilizer equipped model, you're burning through quite a bit of power just gliding around ;) This might come as a surprise, but some time for kicks, check it out on a current meter - crazy how much power gets sucked into servos with a windy day ;)
Either way, to all their own - Thanks for being here with us, and for the support when purchasing. This adds up and really helps our family a lot!
HALLO.friend.yes VERY GOOD, sports,on the video.And offices,Brian Is very good,pilot. I have TO say. And ,vi/i . Learn soo, much. ABOUT the basic/ AND special,s thing,s . Going through,all step by step. Good man. And crew,Megan To . Mvh RENE' Pedersen.Danmark
So I’m assuming if we have the nx6 we can’t assign reverse thrust if we have retracts and flaps?
You have 7 channels to work with on the NX6.
1) Throttle
2) Ailerons
3) Elevator
4) Rudder
5) Gear
6) Flaps
7) Thrust Reverse (OR SAFE on/off - gotta pick one)
hi Brian, quick question for you. So I've been checking out Spektrum receivers on Ali express... any idea if these receivers would have the AS3x and the SAFE Tech. on them? it's not really specific in the descriptions. thanks in advance for any assist. you can give!!!
You would be better to by from horizon hobby.there is fake Recievers out there,also Ali express takes months to get your order.
I never did get two separate orders from Ali express.
They're fake.
Don't cheap out when it comes to flying.it will cost you more in the long run.
Stick with Horizon Hobby for secured purchases.
Can you explain what the extra plug is coming off the throttle wire? Thanks
Sorry, I'm not 100$ sure...I think it's a factory programming cable.
U got great depth perception
Thanks LasicPlus ;)
Brian, when you use Trust Reverse should you use Full Down Elevator, to keep the the Nose Wheel down on the ground to make it more effective? 😒 Keep the Videos coming. Nice job Guys!!👏👏👏👍
For a second, then when you start rolling backward, you have to kinda let off - It's tricky ;) BUT super fun!
Have you set your throttle trim all the way down before setting the -130 thing? Its what I do per God or whatever, and have not had the issue you state.
LOL - "Per God or whatever" - LOL nice...
As for the -130% I've been burned on it a couple times, and don't really get it myself, but some planes ESC's won't initiate at -100%, so not much choice, I guess.
Great Performing plane as with most T-28 Trojans but i hate the straight cut snub nose cowl which are like the Dynam ones as well and is very upscale like looking!
This plane is where's it's at, if you ask me ;) I don't think I understand your concern with the Dynam T-28...the nose cowl is different (than the Eflite)??? I was just looking at some pictures, but I can't make sense of it.
amazing!
Thanks!
Yes you are correct that the camera crew is awesome. One question. Did you ever slide the keeper onto the rudder linkage? You Mechanically adjusted but never slid the rubber sleeve over it.
DUDE!!!!! Watch our second thoughts, when we air it, and you'll have a little chuckle!!!!
AMAZING CATCH!!!
No...and seriously - you're like a fortune teller - watch our second thoughts!!!
I own a ISDT D2 charger and I was wondering which battery I should get to fly the T28 V2 when I can afford to buy one? I am still new and own the UMX Turbo Timber that I have been practicing on the simulator all winter. I also love the T28 on the simulator. I can’t afford a different charger. Also how does the tricycle landing gear do on grass because I would be flying in a park with no pavement for landing?
Hi Brian
Unfortunately I scraped the roof of a house with my P-51D June Nite last weekend. Would you say that the T-28 is a good replacement?
Greetings from Switzerland
The T-28 is an amazing plane, but the P-51 is also very good. I like the T-28 more.
Could you fly it on a 3S 3200 30C smart pack? Thanks!
Why don’t you like to use Velcro, Brian? Is it just because it’s faster to remove the battery and it lessens the chance of ripping the Velcro off of the fuselage? Have you had any issues with “battery ejection” with shelf liner?
I hate the fact that velcro is always on the wrong side, and it's hard to put them in and out, then the battery is HOT and the adhesive likes to pull off the battery, or obstructs the labeling...lots of reasons why I'm not a fan of velcro. As for battery ejection, I HAVE had batteries come out, but only in strange situations, and not with shelf liner. These were in strange foam compartments I made, and they didn't always work.
As for shelf liner failures...I've had issues with battery walking back into the motor on the Blade 330S heli, prior to my most recent mod to move the cover OUT about 1/2 inch.
Great video. I have all three sizes of eflite T-28s. Do you know if Horizon Hobby is bringing back the Carbon z t28? I will buy another if they do. By the way, the CZ T 28 flys great. Keep up the great work!
I wonder if UA-cam suppresses content that discusses a long wall or embankment built to prevent flooding from the sea? It would be a shame, but wouldn't surprise me. They certainly have a preference about what content is preferable and what is not, but hey their toy, their rules. Sir, hope you an your family are well and happy. Take it easy and have a great flight!
LOL - well said ;)
I just unboxed and watched your video. I'm pretty much a newbie on transmitters.....gonna have to watch yours 3 or four times to understand. perhaps a. little more geared toward the newbie when you're setting it up.....
You'll get there. It's a LOT to take in, but when you have had a chance to do this 2-3 times, you'll be an expert. It's fairly intuitive, working with Spektrum, but we're here to help you along.
P.S. We try to go a BIT slower on beginner planes, if you're interested, but this plane COULD be a beginner plane ;)
Hey man whatever happened to your PPG experience? I never seen you fly yet you’re fixing to go up buddy🤙 That looks like a lot of fun
More coming soon. Kinda out of season here.
What does ballooning mean, in reference to what you said during radio setup of flaps system? I've never heard this before and if you explained it I missed it
Ballooning referrers to when the plane goes up without elevator input due to flap deployment in this case. This is generally thought to be an undesirable response...thus the Elevator to Flaps mix, which is an invaluable feature of the NX8.
@@BrianPhillipsRC so you would correct this with down elevator?
I know what you mean, in fact I hardly use flaps because of it. Maybe I would use them more if I wasn't pitching up so violently. I never realized there was a solution because the aircrafts tendency to pitch up with flaps down made sense to me, I just figured it was one of those things pilots deal with and my skill level wasn't high enough to want to deal with it myself
So correcting it, comes with the benefit of being able to slow the plane while still producing lift, without annoying pitch input?
HH should paint the screws in the horizontal stab white
Great video
That would be COOL!!!
Beautiful plane and amazing review on this. Loved it ! Could this be a first plane for someone who is getting into the hobby ? i have been practicing the skills on on RF9 for past few months. loved this plane and loved the retracts on this. All though your review on P51 got me to the hobby and i wanted to get that one instead but like you said p51 cant be the first plane right ? any suggestion will be greatly appreciated Brian. Thank and please keep your content coming. you make it so much easier for rest of us.
This one is probably okay, but I'd suggest flying it on 3S and keeping a large area for flying. It's NOT hard to fly, but it's very capable...and that's a dangerous combo for a beginner...you will thank me if I talk you into a "beginner" and then get this for a 2nd plane...since it'll survive better...the NOSE gear is pretty easy to bend, for example, but with good landings, you'll be golden for hundreds of landings.
Promise, I'm not trying to crush your dreams of flying THIS or THAT, but I want you to have a very good chance at success...and simulator is NOT the same as real life, but it DOES help a lot!
Good luck!!!

@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you so much. I understand, I think I should go for trainer first then graduate to war birds 😟. But plane gotta look good 😓 thanks for providing the links… I already have the transmitter NX6. I wanna go with BNF, I am thinking the Turbo Timber Evo… that cud work, seems like a great looking, big and balanced plane 😍
