- Welcome back returning subscribers and new viewers to my channel. A place where I can share my passion and addiction to RC Planes.
In this video I test out the difference between flying the FMS T28 Trojan using a three bladed prop vs. a two bladed prop. The three bladed prop is the stock propeller, and the 2 bladed prop is a 13 x 10 APC Electric Flying propeller.
Hope you enjoy the video and happy flying.

2 blade props are more efficient than 3 and that's a fact of physics LOL - - when swapping from a 2 to 3 blades - that I tend to do when ever I can - I use the simple rule - it does have good maths behind it.. but made simple - If going from a 2 to a 3 blade prop you need to decrease the prop size by a total of 1" - so if going from a 3 to a 2 you need to need to DROP the size by 1" - doing anything else (including pitch change) will mean your motor/power system has to work harder. Enjoyed the video - LOL - the chat between you both we great - Thanks.
Tanker, thanks for the info and for checking out my channel. I appreciate the info you give. Gotta love simple math.
I subscribed to your channel because I can tell you have a lot of patience and your not shy about showing us your unfortunate crashes and I think that's noble of you.
I've been in this hobby for many years and I still feel like an amateur because technology keeps improving but I'm getting older so I feel like everything is new to me hahaha , 😅 I enjoy your channel please try to keep it real and fresh ..
Rafael, thanks for the support, I really do appreciate it, and keeping it real is what I am about. I too have been flying for close to a decade, and I hear my friend joke about how I am a pro to other club members but I do too definitely still feel like an armature pilot. But I absolutely love this hobby and feel like I learn something every time I fly. Enjoy and thanks again!
i used to use APC props but have found the the master air screw props to be much more efficient with better pulling power.
James, thanks for the suggestion. This was suggested by another sub as well, and I have already gone ahead and bought a set. Great looking props!
@@RCPlaneAddict Yes thats another thing they look a ton more scale and correct looking as too the real thing.
Cool ~ ! Great Fun .
Hey thanks for checking out the vid. Good fun, terrible gear. It is a good learning experience though.
What I notice right away that with the 2 blade it’s not as fast and also the 3 blade sounds better. IMO I would run the 3 bladed prop and just get a spare one. I was thinking of buying one of these. That is a big reason I watch you unboxing and then looked for you flying it. I really wanted to the difference in the prop changing. I would be running into the same issue as far as the grass. Thnx for the video. Happy flying!
Not a problem. Glad I could share some helpful information.
@@RCPlaneAddict Manny, I just watched this video again, and I was not sure what ESC type connector is on this plane? I have 8 Specktrum 4S 3200mAh 50C G2’s with the IC3 connector’s. So my question is do I have to a adapter for my battery’s? Also I own the NX Transmitter’s NX8 and NX6 and I have the RealFlight 9.5S and I was wondering if you use the software with USB CABLE or the UBS dongle? I have trouble every time I’m using the dongle I have to recalibrate the controller, it never seems to work right. Gear don’t work on planes that have them, and always you my A switch for that function. Manny, Thank you in advance!
Richard, first, the plane has a EC5 in it, so you can find the adapter on Amazon to what you need. I am using a EC5 to an XT90. When on my sim I use the USB to the micro USB into my TX. I do not use a dongle. Simple is best. Hope this helps.
i Velcro my battery checker right to the back side of my Transmitter so i always have it with me when im next to the plane.
James, thanks for the suggestion. I will have to try that out.
Nice stall lol 👍
Thanks for the support brother!
Please try the MAS electric only prop
it's so much better than the APC prop that your using, once you'll try it you will definitely see the difference.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to pick some up and try them out. Cheers.
I’ve just got this plane it’s sweet try the fms p47 it’s a beast 6s lipo is the way forward great video 🤙🏻🇬🇧🛩
Andy, thanks for checking out my vids. I appreciate the support and your suggestion. I have always wanted the p47, I will have to put that in the cart for a later purchase! Fly on
I crashed my p47 two weeks ago 😕she's no more now.
Did you do a video on installing flaps on this t28
Todd, thanks for the support. I did not do a video on just the faps. Did you have a question about the rates, or travel speed?
@@RCPlaneAddict not yet, I gotta fly mine a bit more before I modify it
I made a mistake, I thought this was the eflite t28- the one without flaps-- now I realize this is the fms
No worries, its probably because I froze my retracts. I'm waiting for them to break again so I can 3D print a fix.
What size of 6s do you recommend flying on ?
Hello Onapproach, thanks for checking out my vid. My good friend flies his on a 4000mah 6s. A word of caution, to make the battery fit he cut out nearly all on the foam inside the canopy, then use guerilla tape to secure the pilot. I took a lot of foam out myself to make my 4000mah 4s fit too.
nice Flying. You are complaining about grass field, I have a dirt field it's very hard to take off land also, I also have a T-28 huff and puff silver, I do not fly as good as you do, I have the same problem with the front landing gear always likes to bend back just like yours, so I do not feel that bad now!
I just bought a new upgrade electric motor for my t-28 airplane but I'm having a hard time installing, don't seem to find the right motor mount for it! Wonder if you could help me out?
Pedro, thanks for checking out my vid. It really is a shame about the gear because the plane is such an amazing flier. I really do hope that one day FMS will address this. Till then happy flying.
Pedro, sorry about not responding to your last comment with the motor. Which motor did you buy? I can try to help.

@@RCPlaneAddict do you u have Facebook?
@@RCPlaneAddict We could communicate there better.
Did you have both props balanced? Btw the grass looks like a shag carpet baby! Yeah.....
I did not balance my props, rookie mistake, and the grass is extra plush friend!
2 bladed props are more efficient than 3 blade. I think it's the size you chose.
Remedy, thanks for checking out my vid, and please leave any suggestions for prop sizes, that you think I could benefit from. Cheers.
Love you co-host.....lol
He is a good person, everyone needs a friends like him.
Three blade would have more toque 😀
Your right about that. Cheers
