E-flite - Carbon-Z T-28 - 2.0m - Maiden Flights

[@Rick_Retired]

OMG BRIAN! I just finished watching your entire build video with Megan as your extra set of hands and humor. In the first few seconds of watching this T-28 fly I realized that I have no words other than it is all WE hoped for and more. You tickle its capabilities and thus keep all the squirrels off of it. Fantastic!!! If I were 18 again, or even 60......

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

yes, and YES...this model is amazing, and I like it a lot (...think Forest Gump)

[@boss2234]

They must have been very limited on units you and pilot Ryan are the only influencer with one in hand. Grate job camera man. Woman😂Grate job as always guys.

[@127TROOP]

Just getting into RC flying with a 400 warbird, but its aircraft like this that I dream of owning and flying.....You guys are possibly the happiest if not downright craziest people flying RC on YT. Your enthusiasm for the hobby is infectious...hooked on everything you are putting out....Thanks guys for making this old man feel like a kid again....

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks Trooper! Very glad you're here with us, and appreciate your kind words!

[@M4rkmcc21]

Brian u are the most open, honest and genuinely grateful guy on KZbin. Can tell u love planes, appreciate your audience and love entertaining! That's why I watch every video you bring out. Excellent presentation of the 2m T28. I want one 👍🏾Mark 🇬🇧

[@danielyeroshalmi12]

She flies like a dream,thanks Brian and the camera crew as well for such a great video. 👍🏻

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Glad you enjoyed it - and she is soooooo good!

[@donaldPartridge-jo6fe]

Really enjoy your videos. Your in flight narration is exciting, informative, and fun to watch. Makes me want to go right out and purchase the product. The excitement is contagious. Thanks

[@aaronjames2156]

I’ve been checking for maiden videos all day and yours is the only one so far. (Of this new version). I got mine Friday and got it together yesterday. Won’t be able to maiden mine for awhile I imagine but very happy you got to do yours. I’ve been waiting. Nice flying and amazing filming!!! Y’all are my goto for any new plane I get.

[@Thoughtomobile]

@BrianPhillipsRC! I have watched nearly a dozen RC Planes demonstrators! I must say that you have got the Best A1 Camera and the Cutest Crew! Gold Medal performance! Thank you to her and Congratulations to her. 🙏🌹🌹🌹☺

[@highdesertmisfitsrcclub2846]

Nice Video Brain. Thanks for still producing the large format So much better than the others .. And that is why you will continue to be #1

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

More to come!

[@johnmcpherson9744]

Greetings from the land down under. Love the Trojans - my first one was the original grey parkzone 1.1 - YEARS AGO - Just bought the 1.2 so that I can go for my club wings - ParkZone for the Silver wings and the EFlite for the Gold wings. I have the Carbon Z Cessna 150T and the Cirrus V2 as well as the HobbyKing Swiss Cub. Would love the Carbon Z T128 but simply can't find the room for storage sadly as have no garage and living in a unit now I'm retired. Speaking of retirement - I never had the time to take this hobby seriously as I was a sub contract courier so although I have been flying for years I actually a very low flight time pilot for the time I've been flying - if that makes any sense. Keep up the good work Brian because here in OZ the Hobby shops are simply dying due to internet domination of the marketplace and we need to get the youngsters interested.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You have some real enthusiasts that were at Joe Nall. We met them, and they're world class RC folks!!! Not sure if you caught the video, but we filmed him flying the giant scale YELLOW sail plane. I think the hobby shops are gonna have to be GOOD to survive, but that's true here too. Internet sales are the wave of the future, but GOOD SHOPS will always keep a strong foothold. Glad to have you here with us, and hope to see you around ;)

[@donaldjackson6823]

Yessssssss, this is a great day Thank you sooo very much for yours and camera crew "aks Megan" hard work Keep em coming

[@marcoreviews]

You can land this bird almost like a drone! It is ready for landing on ships maybe even a helipad! Amazing!

[@markloveder3392]

Wow, that plane looks rock solid in the air. It's a great video. 👍

[@patrickciarcia4100]

What a beautiful plane… 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@pauljenkin1742]

it floats! Madness to see such a big bird go so slow. I want one

[@alfabeta22]

You are the master of the smooth landings!

[@rafjum]

What a "terrific" flight ! Bryan, love what I see, outstanding model and flight skills, Congrats!

[@easystar123]

Great plane and great flight. I have the same plane, version one in red and white. It flys so smooth even after 5 years. Enjoy your plane and many happy landings. P.S I love the yellow column scheme. Easy to see.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks for sharing - I would have loved to have the V1 too, what a beauty!

[@cardinaldriver]

I was shocked to see how well those flew when we first received them at Hobbytown. Great windy day flyers too.

[@miguelangelgrajalesbalboa1480]

simplemente hermoso, felicidades!

[@CalebT_RC]

The first 3 sounds and I already flinched when I had my headphones on 😂

[@russel419]

That looks so cool on your driveway/runway. Great vid!

[@bigrickRC1144]

Woohoo.. the NX10 finally revealed!! That plane is UUUUUUUGGGEE!

[@marcoreviews]

It is finally here! Wow it flies so well! #stayepic ❤❤❤

[@edgrossheim135]

Great video, as always! My C-Z T-28 2.0m has been on backorder since the end of Jan! Getting antsey!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You might be on the first order. This was "early" and might have been a damage one...did you see the box (it was bad)

[@AL-RCjunkie]

Oh My Gosh... #RcGoals What a beauty!!! Gotta get my Carbon cub setup and in the air 1st. But, oh my. That T28 👍

[@oldscratch3540]

Yea I tryed ordering draco when it first came out but it said,,,you guessed it back order. That's a good thing cause it let's the excitement settle down then I wind up saving my hard earned coins. 🤣

[@bassops1373]

I found your video on the Trojan. Great job! Love T-28’s

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

One of our favorites!

[@victorrcjets7660]

It does look good for a prop plane!

[@franciscoduran3688]

Nice plane and nice video! I have the small T-28 1,1m from E-Flite and she looks nice. This one is a lot bigger but seems to be super cool :)

[@jjones1850]

"So pure" I love it!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks!

[@punisherxs6654]

What a beautiful yellow plane.

[@tbiowa9977]

One word "BEAUTIFUL"

[@snoriverrc3842]

Great flights. I think you do a great job on replying to comments, whether one is required or not. I'd love to get one of these, but its just too big, and they really didnt make it very tear-down friendly. I bet this will be sitting in your living room for 6 months because you cant get it into the basement :)

[@williewideback]

I really enjoyed flying this huge T-18 2.0m, cannot wait to get another one

[@roedere]

It’s friggin’ huge!

[@alexyip8382]

It sounds good，It's amazing to take off

[@thelongestday64]

Awesome plane!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You bet it is!!! Love flying this beauty!!!

[@dronepilot260rc]

Wow this thing flies amazing 👏

[@SlowFlyer85]

Great looking plane nice low speed flight good video and review

[@looneytunes47]

Big planes are always worth the trouble to break down and re-assemble at the field to fly nothing beats the realist presents of them

[@kranerwheatens]

I've been using SabotHeat Heated Gloves in the cold weather. Keep them on medium heat and all is well

[@bentravis99]

Great plane, great video! Thank you!

[@timrodriguez1]

Hard to beat a big beautiful airplane!..🤘🤠

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

100% When they're good, and BIG - oh boy! This one is no exception!!!

[@thomasallan8113]

I got one of the previous version of this plane and am waiting for a good day to maiden it.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

The old one is still AMAZING TOO!!!

[@kokman62]

Love that bird, looks bloody good, I,m thinking of getting it, put $1669.00 here in NZ keep up the good work

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

WOW! That's crazy! Wish we could get planes there, and we'd TAP that market...it's in desperate need, so is Australia...I think there's a pretty huge regulation issue with lipos too...very unfortunately ;(

[@GM-pm4hm]

Can't believe how fast it came off the ground.

[@ShockeWulf190]

This is a perfect demonstration of how far Aeromodeling has gone in terms of ingenuity

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

100% Very amazing!

[@joseadorno9376]

Wao Brian that plane is AWESOME!!! I' ll buy it!! 😊

[@GSG-lc5zm]

You get much bigger and you can just hop in! 😂

[@BigBlue579]

Great video as always. Do you have the link to the Dubro soft tires you got for this? Thank you.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks! We used these tires... bprc.me/CarbonT_T28_SoftTires

[@IceMan2035]

A really nice bird so cool on the low passed. Great presentation guys!!!! Hey, can you run 8s batteries on it after I take the esc out and run a 160amp just if I want to run a 12s?

[@paul340mopar]

I too have waited for this Plane since it was Discontinued the last time, I also waited for you so I could buy from your Link, but I wanted the 50% off Battery Deal before it expired and waited till the Last Day and had to Pre-Order it Direct from Horizon. I also never got the E-Mail for the said Battery Discount Coupon yet. P.S...As far as Us wanting to Watch you "Not Pull Out"...I think that's another Type of Video😛.

[@FMRC]

Awesome T-28 and nice flying. But where do I get a skinny blue wind sock?😬🤣

[@dalerbsr.5061]

Two 6s 6000mAh installed single file flew well and balanced on my past version Z T-28.. But was a tad stressful while landing for I was always afraid the gear would fail from the extra weight, this version I will use two 4000's or 5000s 6s

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

WOW That's huge!

[@ederdmann7347]

I know a lot of people drinking the Kool-Aid on this plane. The only change from the old version is Smart LED’s and it’s yellow. That’s it. It’s still a great plane. If you go to the 3 blade you will in time cook the 70amp ESC in it. 14x9x3 will keep it in range on amps.

[@boss2234]

This is true, the gauge of wire and the retract it’s self do look to be slightly heavier. The fuselage looks to be slightly different also not really sure on that. But it is a grate plane been waiting for some time to get my hands on another one

[@lawrencewilliams1477]

WHAT A PLANE SO GOOD IT'S DADDY COOL 😎 WHAT A LANDING

[@jefferyturner517]

Stick it to the man. Lol. Give me liberty or give me death. Great video y’all.

[@briankidwell3804]

Brian, maybe you can help me out regarding the CG I made the mistake of using your battery position for placing the battery . I may have been as much as 1/2" further forward. I amusing a G2 6S 5000 50C. I should have done due diligence and checked CG, but I have been usually good using the same battery location as you show in your videos. This was very close to a disaster. My plane was extremely tail heavy, flew badly and I was barely able to get it back on the ground with minor damage. Hit on nose gear and bent strut with no other damage. All blame is on me... Just wondered if you have any thoughts on why the two planes could be so different??? Thanks for great videos!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That's CRAZY! I don't understand why yours was so different??? If you put the battery, same as in the video (or even similar), in the same spot, and the CG is THAT DIFFERENT...you might have a missing ball(s)...yes, there are sometimes BALL or BALLS in between the two halves of the fuse on some planes used as ballast to balance the CG JUST SO. I don't know if there are any on this plane, but I'd say look into the SAME battery SAME place, and see what's up with your CG...if there's a huge disparity, you might give them a call at the factory. FWIW I've always thought the T-28's is VERY forgiving as it pertains to CG.

[@briankidwell3804]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Finished repair on nose gear. Checked CG with gear up and battery full forward. It was slightly nose heavy. Seemed to be dead on with battery in the middle as you had it. The elevator looks like it is lined up correctly. This is a BNF version. I wonder if they programmed in some throttle / elevator?? I will check for that.

[@referee494]

so slow, amazing. Great flight again, thx.

[@deanedeane4318]

Wholly sht what a beautiful beast !!!! 10/10 camera crew !!! and awsum to see Brian's flying skills improving !!! 😉😎ps Did someone steal your power lines 😉

[@deanedeane4318]

Thankyou for the randomly selected prize thingy but I'm in New Zealand so you'd have to re-morgage your farm to pay the postage 🙃😉😎

[@reckemroysrc3764]

I just hope my order goes through. Ordered 1 day after the release.

[@mattcook5302]

Yes! Love you guys!

[@aaronjames2156]

Btw… I also bought a pair of one click plugs which takes all your servo plugs into one plug. So basically connect one plug per wing when you put it together and you’re ready to go.

[@HciContractor]

Hey Aaron what are those plugs called and where to purchase them? Thank you !

[@johnrusscher3954]

Brian, did you measure your cg from the the leading edge by the light and the panel line that you marked it on or where the wing touched the fuselage. The instructions look like I should measure from were the wing touched the fuselage which would put my marks further forward than yours. Can you help clarify this?

[@oldscratch3540]

Oh but great job on the show. It made me want to get it from you. 🤗

[@RenePedersen-kz5xj]

Hallo Brian Philips RC .and crue. How sbout 3 bladet prop. I wonder. Becurs the 1.2 mm ..is very goodwhit 3 blade.prop. mvh René.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

We did it, in the playlist for this T-28 already for you Rene ;)

[@genes6703]

Hi Brian, have you ever reviewed the Arrows T28 from hobby zone? I don’t know how it works with you and the companies but do you think you’d be able to if you haven’t. Thanks

[@oldscratch3540]

My being interested and I see it is on back order. I use to get geeked about ordering planes now not so much only cause every time I start to order it says Back Order. Now I just waite till they discontinue models. They seem to be more obtainable that way.

[@spikekavalench]

That is some sweet!

[@richardwarenda9589]

Im sorry if im late but what is the correct 3 blade prop for this beast?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You're NOT late. We have the several choices here, waiting on us. We just need to film the mod video, and flight(s), so you guys can see how much current change to expect.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Coming soon!

[@cliffshepard2166]

Brian I just backordered the 2.0 T28. Look forward to flying it but have a question about the way you use your smart batteries. I see you routinely exceed the recommended flight times and I’m wondering two things: 1) Why do you do that? 2) Does it damage the batteries? Thanks!

[@arminbroger7308]

Super Flug 😄👍🇨🇭

[@timrodriguez1]

Okay, I need thrust reverse on all my airplanes…lol🤘🤣

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It's so nice when you have a smaller field!!! But even with a larger field, it's convenient. On WATER planes, it's a MUST-HAVE...so you can keep from going into weeds and possibly get out of them, when necessary.

[@robertmclennan]

Nice low slow and speedy passes. What three blade prop are you thinking will be good for this new bird?

[@davidgray5693]

Hi Brian , which size 3 bladed prop would you recommend

[@garrypalmer7809]

Great flying Brian, I like your videos on all the new models especially this one. I missed out on V1 but not this time. Have one on order for when they arrive in NZ. My question is where have you got the CG. At 180mm as manual says or are you a bit forward of that. Some have said it needs to be around the 155mm position. Thank you, Great camera work too your partner does a marvelous job.

[@shermanbellmyer5066]

Do you think they will release the 2.0 in a red and white scheme also eventually?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I don't know of this, but would love to see it ;)

[@jbrundt]

Had to choose; FMS A-10 or CZ T-28 FMS A-10 won. I already have the FMS 1400mm red/white T-28 which itself is an awesome flying airplane so my T-28 'fix' is satiated for the time being. Maybe a few months from now when they have them in stock so I can use easy pay from Tower. Or.... Perhaps they will bring back the CZ T-28 in the red/white scheme (which is my favorite for this plane). Are you listening HH?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I agree, I too LOVE the Red/White, and maybe they'll bring back that livery, but you will want the upgrades on this model even if they bring back the Red White ;) FMS A-10 (twin 70) is also sweeeet!

[@julianhumphrey4843]

frickin awesome stunning plane

[@warthog30]

Im sorry if I missed it. What happened to the power lines?

[@williamlane6374]

Love this plane and want one. I'm trying to push Motion RC to send you a freewing F14 for build and setup

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That would be very nice ;) The F-14 is an all time favorite of mine, and Megan promised I could get one when we moved here, and strangely enough, despite getting HUNDREDS of planes, none are the Freewing F-14 - LOL ;) JK She lets me have so many other victories, I'm not gonna push this issue! Thanks for the plug, and if you need more direct contact, we have our email in the about tab - we check it, but we're slow with it there, sorry!

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

Ohhh-Yeahhh... Mello-Yellow... 🤣🤣😁😎 Y'alls Definitely Needs A Real 60'x30' or BIGGER Hangar Now... 😜😲

[@peteremaloney]

Hey, Brian love the channel over here in England, made the plunge back into RC after a 38 year break! Quick question where did you get the Black and white wind sock?

[@patrickmombarg3490]

Great review Brian, big fan! One question, can I fly it with my nx6?

[@LaFatavideo]

Which would you rather have and why? Carbon-z cessna 150t or Carbon-z T-28?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

From YOUR perspective, I'd want BOTH...but honestly, the tie-breaker for YOU might be STOCK. I think you, you might just get the CZ 150T since it's CZ Cessna 150 bit.ly/3RNoprG

[@LaFatavideo]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks!

[@Tallguysrc]

Brian is lucky he can fly out his front door, for people who have travel it's a burden when you have big planes

[@giuseppebianchi4431]

Could this be flown from fine gravel/ rough dirt?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Probably....but I CRINGE when I do grass ops. I'd like to see someone plop some spring loaded oleo's on the undercarriage for such an application, or at least go FULL ON PNEUMATIC TIRES...but the shafts are not so wide to take a normal tire without mods.

[@happymcslappy3640]

What happened to power lines?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

We paid the utility to move them underground. It was ridiculously expensive ($24,263) for the move. It also took 8 months of fighting to get that price, vs their first estimate at over $31,000 they quoted...but mostly ridiculous since we had just paid about $25,000 (of the $35,000 total for the primary service down the street over the same area) a little less than 3.5 years ago (before the project)...which is when they refused to bid the underground service, which is against the tariff that the protected monopoly is supposed to operate under....but the board of utilities said "We had no standing" - and I'm like - How could we NOT have standing? We paid for it! Anyway, it was a huge mess, and we paid the price for a bunch of mistakes made by Warren Buffet's companies' mistakes...BUT they ALMOST finished the job right the first time!!! To be honest, kudos to the guys we worked with this go-around...they were way better than the first time (3.5 years ago). This was when we bought this land, and put in primary electric service, if that wasn't already obvious.

[@Truthstillmatters2]

Which one do you prefer to fly between this one and the V900?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

This one. 1,000%

[@willcorsair6099]

Did you lose the power lines??

[@capnhardway]

So awesome..

[@RcNeil]

Being waiting for this video sssoooooooooo long

[@djr01974]

You need to add smoke on a toggle switch. That would be awesome

[@capnhardway]

Well it's on the wish list, maybe in a few years when it comes in, I may be able to afford it, 😂

[@richardhill2451]

Hi Brian most of your birds would be all ready be on pre set bind and fly on the 10 nx I think it has 250+ pre set birds but you would have something different and it would a lot longer to go through them all and you will have double on a lot of them cheers Rick

[@walk4718]

Brilliant review!! You got my lust going for this one 🤣

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It is seductive!!!!!! ;)

[@EJ-74]

NIIIICE 👌

[@williamlane6374]

I work in engineering for Silversport Transmissions for tremec and do stuff for Von Gitten Jr. and Cleetus McFarland so trying to do my best to get motion RC to have you help with marketing

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

We really appreciate the plug William! Do say hi to Wes over at MotionRC, and let him know we'd be happy to get to work ;) Would also love to do something with Cleetus McFarland too - seems like a cool guy! Love his videos, and love when we see BIGGER KZbinrs advancing the hobby!

[@jonoedwards4195]

Ripping Mate! Hope Your Family and You are Ruling. Love Your Sheeeeeeeeeeee,,,

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

oh yeah!

[@short5stick]

They could have made this plane so much better by using aluminum shocks landy gear and I hope the paint don't smear off like the Cessna 150 does the red one

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

yes, they could. I would LOVE to see this bird with more scale retracts, but I am just so happy with how it flies, that it's hard not to love her!
