      Glad you enjoyed it. Did you see the kids on the hill - that's our two oldest...they used to play up there in the tall grass while we were flying - Great memories, and also helps me remember just how far we've come from those days.
      Glad you've been around for-ever with us ;) Thanks!

      If you want to check out the "playlists" on my channel, you can see the "progression" from unboxing to maiden, to actually good flights, usually after some modification. Hope you enjoy lots more of my videos!

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  5 років тому +1

      I've gotten better about showing radio setup in my unboxing, assembly, and maiden videos, but this one is older.
      I generally set up my planes per Horizon Hobby recommendations, but only deviate on which switch to set for flaps and SAFE, as well as expo...which, as you know, is highly subjective.
      This plane is a GREAT one....in fact, I just flew her the other night, and it was glorious as always ;)

    Is there anything stopping one from putting a 5000mah 30c 3s Turnigy in this for the purpose of flight times? Admittably im new to this and LiPo's but I'd love to have more than a 5 min flight time. The only thing I could think is weight but size wise it looks it fit and as long as CG is good Id assume this has enough power to get it airborn and then some. Thoughts?

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  5 років тому +1

      I have flown mine with a 5000mAh 3S 60C pack, and she flies just fine, but I prefer a 3000mAh 3S 60C pack, since you keep the plane more docile

      One more question for you. Finally got mine, got it all put together and control surfaces set, but I cant for the life of me get the CG right. I put the battery in just the back 2 velcro loops and its still incredibly nose heavy. Did you have this issue at all? Did you add any weight to it?

    • @CantaloupeDog
      @CantaloupeDog 5 років тому +1

      Nevermind, figured out my issue. Got a 3200mah instead of a 2200, oversight on my part. It is almost 200grams heavier and larger, thus the issue.

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  5 років тому

      You CAN totally fly on a 3300mAh...I've flown on a 5000mAh 3S 60C pack...a bit heavy, but you'll need to play with the CG, and be careful with the nose gear on landings :) Go for it!!!

    My new parkzone T-28 with AS3X and SAFE arrived today.
    It has a hard to reach, factory too tight , screw that must be loosened to slide in the nose gear strut - that must then be re-tightened to hold the strut in place.
    Its on part of the steerable nose wheel attachment connected to the rudder.
    It is a small, rather shallow Phillips head and I don't have a screw driver that wants to hold a grip on it - and I don't want to strip that sucker !
    To compound the problem the steering unit wants to rotate when trying to loosen the screw.
    Any suggestions appreciated !

    Hi Brian, I have seen your videos and they are great_recently I saw your review of the Eflite [1.2m] Trojan and I am going to pull the trigger on that plane. It looks awesome, but I was wondering, since there are so many negatives on the forums, with respect to the AS3X receiver if you have found any problems with that receiver. Some say they have lost control and nosed into the ground... etc. I saw your video with minor mod on the nose wheel_have you experienced any bending of the struts or anything like that. I have seen some upgrades from other forums that address the issue of the nose wheel.
    Anyway I really look forward to your comments... appreciate it, and keep up the great work on your posts. emerio

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  7 років тому

      You do have to flare on landings. If you do happen to bend the nose gear, just check out my video, in the playlist, and you'll see what I did to ensure the nose gear can't and doesn't bind.
      This ONLY happened to me after I took off with a bad lipo, and had to make an emergency landing in a yard. Totally my fault, and totally avoidable and embarrassing...but NOT the planes fault.
      If you're not a skilled pilot, maybe start with a tail dragger first...but this is a GREAT plane.

    Brian if i can fly a 4 ch plane, would this t-28 be manageable for me if I didn’t do any fancy moves

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  6 років тому

      This plane is a GREAT flying plane. It's not a super "hard" plane to fly, but it doesn't have SAFE, if you're using it, you might consider going with another of the 1.2m warbirds from Horizon Hobby....
      I LOVE this plane. It's very forgiving except for it's a bit more tricky to land as the nose gear will buckle and break if you're too rough on the landings. You WILL learn to flare this plane, if you don't already have that nailed down...which is why it's a GREAT plane for a trainer.

    • @jtepsr
      @jtepsr 6 років тому +1

      so maybe try the at-6 which has safe?

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  6 років тому

      No, the AT-6 is a good plane, but this T-28B Trojan, is one of my favorite planes! I love it. The AT-6 is not. It's harder to land, and just doesn't fly as good....I know that sounds crazy, but this plane is a better flying experience, and I think it looks better too ;) But these are highly subjective things...I feel the same about the Spitfire 1.2m, even though it has SAFE too...
      Sounds like counter-intuitive advice, but you might "get it" when you get one for yourself ;)

      I've had the park zone version for a while. It made me look like a rock star at the field and is a total tank on durability. If I can't find a used Carbon-Z T-28(discontinued) then I'm gonna go with one of these. T-28 is below my skill level, but with it being a swiss army knife of an affordable airframe, you can push it hard and it still be fun.

      Merci Brian de votre réponse
      mais je ne comprends pas la progression du réglage Flaps /élévator :
      1/. 95 % flaps 0% elevator
      2/. 15%. Flaps 3% elevator
      3/. 100% flaps 10% elevator
      Ce que je ne comprends pas c'est la progression du pourcentage des Flaps de 95 % 15 % 100% ??????
      Ça ne me paraît pas normal!!
      J'ai tendance à comprendre ceci :
      Position 1 :Flaps ouverts ( à plat) = 0 % mixage elevator
      Position 2 : flaps fermés à 15 % = 3% mixage elevator
      Position3 : flaps fermés à 100% = 10% mixage elevator
      Si vous avez un peu de temps pour me répondre ce serait gentil
      Brian Phillips
      Thank you Brian for your answer
      but I do not understand the progress of the Flaps / Elevator setting:
      1 /. 95% flaps 0% elevator
      2 /. 15%. Flaps 3% elevator
      3 /. 100% 10% elevator flaps
      What I do not understand is the progression of the percentage of flaps by 95% 15% 100% ??????
      It does not seem normal to me !!
      I tend to understand this:
      Position 1: Open flaps (flat) = 0% elevator mix
      Position 2: closed flaps at 15% = 3% elevator mix
      Position3: closed flaps at 100% = 10% elevator mix

    • @BrianPhillipsRC

      Lorsque les volets sont déployés, l'ascenseur déplace également une quantité prédéfinie pour empêcher le ballon de planer. Tout cela est géré dans la partie "Flap Mode" de mon Spektrum DX18, et il est très facile à installer.
      La raison de l'étrange point de départ est que nous utilisons les deux directions du voyage servo. Si nous n'utilisions que 0% - 100%, le servo ne se déplacerait qu'à partir du point de départ central, mais si nous utilisons -100% à + 100%, le servo se déplacerait d'un bout à l'autre. autre fin. Les -95% ont simplement à faire avec la façon dont mes surfaces de contrôle s'alignent, pour éviter que le servo bourdonne.
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      When the flaps are deployed, the elevator also moves a preset amount to prevent the plane ballooning. This is all handled in the "Flap Mode" part of my Spektrum DX18, and it's very easy to setup.
      The reason for the strange starting point is that we are using both directions of the servo travel. If we only used 0% - 100% then the servo would only move half the way from the central starting point, however, if we use -100% to +100%, the servo would be traveling all the way from one end to the other end. The -95% simply has to do with the way my control surfaces lined up, to prevent servo buzzing.

      First off, thanks for the kind words. We're glad to have you here with us! It's our honor to have such a great audience!!!
      Advice? Here's some...
      Learn from EVERY mistake you make....and if you're not super-human (like me) you'll make a lot ;)
      Learn from every rough landing, every crash, every time you lose your orientation and try not to repeat it. Be a better pilot every time you fly. Get help, when you need it. Don't listen to jerks, and you'll find a fair amount of them in this hobby...loads of people who forget how hard it is to learn the basics...it's NOT easy, but you CAN do it!
      Don't push yourself too fast. Figure out your own pace. You don't have to fly 75 flights a week, but fly as often as you can!!! It will be the difference between you being a good pilot, and a bad one.
      Don't give up. You CAN do it!
      P.S. This video is the 1.2m, not the 1.1m (like you got, based on your comments), so mine doesn't have SAFE, while I believe yours DOES have SAFE. Use it when you need help. Don't let people try to tell you you "don't need it" - they may be right, but they aren't paying for your plane, and they don't need to have a vote on you getting your plane back in one piece. Use EVERY advantage you can to learn, and learn as quick as you can to get rid of SAFE. I learned with SAFE, and it was amazing to shed that crutch, but I still have SAFE on some of my planes, and love having it there for strange circumstances....even though I don't need it.
      Come back and watch all my videos - JK about that last one :)

    Hey Brian. Was thinking this was going to be a good trainer for EDF prep, but I'm concerned that it doesn't have SAFE Select. I upgraded the receiver's software and made SAFE Select active, but am still having issues. For some reason, even when flat, Panic Recovery wants to apply rudder and down elevator. The ailerons barely budge. Yet it all responds in Normal. Just need to fix that with HH before I maiden it. In the mean time, are there any HH planes with SAFE Select in the same price range that that you think would make for great EDF training? TIA

    Got two offers for a used flown FMS T 28 V3 (i think) for 180 Dollar incl. 3 LiPos and and the other one is a unflown eflite T 28 1.2 for 244 Dollar in the BNF version. Whats your opinion for choice.. all the others out there can give me a (usefull) tip too.....

      Don't take my word for it, but it sounds like the FMS is a lot better "deal"....but then just look how great this bird flies! It's hard to find a real substantive complaint on the T-28B Trojan, 1.2m - It's definitely one of my favorites, and I can't say anything bad about it.
      P.S. This plane is great, but that doens't mean the FMS is inferior in any way, but if someone gave me $244 and said you can keep the balance, but you HAVE to buy one of the two choices...I'd have to go with what I KNOW is excellent, right?!?

      If the Eleven Hobby is a lot cheaper, I could totally understand, or even if you wanted to get the Hobbyking Durafly, re-released T-28, with air break too (totally cool, but if you really want it, it's not hard to add...I might need to do that actually)
      Whichever way you go, good luck! If you find a balsa variant, I want to see your build video!

      I can get the 11 hobby T-28 for $127 shipped but ill need a RX, so about $150 with a Lemon Stab RX.

    Love your videos but you do realize you can only see your airplane for about 100 yards before it disappears on the videos so trying to keep it in close should be a priority
