E-flite - T-28 Trojan V2 - 1.2m - Second Thoughts + Crash & Repair???

[@rickwakelin1725]

Great stuff I love it, I've learned it's better to have a nose wheel that can be bent back than to have a strong one which rips out the front of your plane, but many thanks for the pointers

[@Freedom1776usa]

I like when you showed the slow flying characteristics of it in the bowl. To me this is important. It looks like it won't tip stall at reasonable landing speeds. Nice airplane. Thx for demo.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

For sure. This plane is rock solid, but as with ANY plane, if you find a low point and really put her to the test, she will eventually stall on you ;) Still was a fun exercise. I was landing the OTHER way on the sidewalk the night before...it was SOOOO COOL! Any way, if you can, get this one. I love it!

Seriouosly, you're not that far from getting here, but please do yourself a favor - start with an EASY plane...this isn't a terrible 2nd or 3rd choice, if you take well to a "beginner style plane" but if you start here, you'll probably be very overwhelmed and probably SCARED...it's not fun as a beginner to have that huge load of fear injected. It can make you into a "One and done" very easy (pilot who get the wrong plane, flys for 2 seconds and then crashes and never comes back to the hobby - this is a death blow for many would be pilots).

Seconds thoughts for me. I love the new Trojan. I know you comment a lot on us nuts that watch the full 5 hours. I’m one of those and wanted to thank you and the camera crew.

Plus whenever my wife walks by while watching she always catches a comment about a nut sac or ramming something in🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Brian question. I purchased the eflite Cherokee. It has the AR631 receiver installed from factory. I see the antenna is facing the back and servo inserts are facing nose. People are saying that this is wrong and should be antenna facing front. Is this right antenna facing front and servo inserts facing tail? Thanks

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

If the movement and correction of the control surfaces are right, then you're fine. VERIFY IT before you take her up.

[@kmatch1]

So it’s ok to attack “that one guy” who points out a simple to fix error that is misleading to potential customers, some who lack the knowledge? Misleading by telling folks inaccurate flight times isn’t a good thing compared to the actual good things you guys offer which is a lot. It’s a simple fix - but easier to trash someone offering a useful suggestion most folks would benefit from… No sweat as I had let it drop until this comment, but it’s time to visit and support friendlier folks. I had mentioned the innaccurate timer comments in passing and moved on after you explained your reasoning. Then this pops up? To put it in simple terms, you profit from selling airplanes for various companies - yes, profit. You offer good reviews. You slip in one aspect and offer false info on flight times across the board then make it personal when offered a simple way to present accurate information as a salesman? Keep on with the good work you offer but that was lame!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Dude - you mentioned it like 100 times! I totally disagree with you, and have tired to made it clear in a "nice way", many times over. I'm very sorry if you're offended, but you don't know better than me in this one situation, so we can agree to disagree, or you can get all bent out of shape about it. It's your choice. There's plenty of room for more than one way of doing thing, but I'm not going to just do it your way because you think you're right. I have way more experience in this regard, and I don't want to rub your face in it, since that's not what I'm all about, but I'm frankly, sick of wasting my time talking about it. I'm not misleading anyone about flight times. I'm fully aware that many people will experience lots of different flight times, and to be honest, when you get more time at the sticks, you will agree. Flight times are fleeting. They're drastically varying by flying style and by battery age and use, and a bunch of other factors that most people "GET" - you don't seem to agree, despite our pretty obvious disparity in experience levels. I'm not even telling you that you're wrong...just that I'm not going to agree with you just because you make a suggestion 20 times. Everyone here knows (or should know) that we "profit" from selling planes. This is how we fund our channel, and not sure how this became a "conflict of interest" that you seem to purport...I want people to fly, and I want them to pick GOOD planes...and I happen to get the advantage of commissions for the sale of said planes. I don't care which one you pick. I think you've made up your mind that you're writing an expose in your comment, but you're not. Most of, if not 100% of our viewers know that we make commissions on sales of planes. After all, I've been very clear about it from the start, and many times in each video. If you want to have the platform to prove your point, go ahead and do it. KZbin is a big ocean of opportunity, but frankly, it usually just swallows up and spits people out. I'm one of the very lucky ones who stuck with it long enough to make something of this effort. In closing, I've heard your concern, and I'm asking you - please drop it. There's so many other things we AGREE about. Why do we have to make this an argument?!?!? We don't. You're welcome here, even in our disagreement...I just don't want hear about it, in every video in the comments.

[@kmatch1]

@@BrianPhillipsRC I mentioned it *twice* (prove othewise!), in casual conversation and never “insisted” you change a thing. Your personal choices are personal. Your false advertising is the problem yet my comment was still meant as a suggestion. I just feel it odd you take cheap shots in an actual video at someone simply offering a suggestion! You have more experience? Check your facts! I’m still not terribly concerned whether you listen to a suggestion, just the fact you had to take a cheap shot which prompted me to bring it up the *third*time, not 100 as you falsely state. Maybe 98 other folks brought it up? Maybe it’s more of an issue than you admit if so many folks brought it up? Still no big deal but don’t expect to make errors such as “more experience” or “100 complaints” from me and not be called out! I was done with it up to that point. On a side note I believe I’ve designed and built planes older than you - but of course that’s no comparison to your extensive experience… SMDH

[@stealthwarrior4870]

The original had nose gear problems too. Would hang up when extended 1 out of every 5-10 landings (poor linkage design) and after bending back & JB Welding shaft following only somewhat rough landings and no replacements available, I finally gave up. I loved flying her, but alas she’s hung in my garage with broken gear for 2 years now. E-flite really needs to do something about this flimsy nose gear, with still no available replacement part.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I've hears the FMS has a very nice replacement with good quality oleo. I didn't ever do it, and DID too have issues, but only after many, many, MANY bad landings on my V1. V2 doesn't seem to be much improved, but my piloting skills HAVE, so the nose gear may not be such an issue. I always felt the nose gear "defect" was mostly a defect in my flying skills ;)

[@stealthwarrior4870]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Sure Brian.

[@stealthwarrior4870]

I did adapt an FMS nose gear (turned backwards) though the shaft (this time plastic) shorter than orig E-flite gear - a less than perfect match. I still see no replacement from HH. E-flite shld really do a better job w/this great plane’s weak link, IMHO.

The 1.1m version is probably THE best RC plane I have ever flown, its a real floater and inspires so much confidence - no wonder the original was so popular as a park flyer when it first came out. Might pick up the 1.2m one day even if its just for the retractable undercarriage.

[@thechristianbear2001]

I am having trouble with cg- never had a warbird. Went 83mm from where the wing attaches to the fuse (using 4s 2200) and keep scooting back towards the receiver (tail section) and is rocking forward towards the nose. I flipped it inverted, gear out- should it balance out like my turbo Timbers in terms of being level? Not going to fly till I get this all figured out.

[@thechristianbear2001]

Well- spent more time watching the flying portion and saw where your battery was- looks very similar to my location. Now not near as concerned. Thank you for all you do-

5 Landing my front bent , then broke when straightened, replaced with used one , like the plane otherwise…I use 4S 4K …..long fly time

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Sorry to hear this. I assume it must have been a really rough landing? I've bent mine a couple times, but feel like she'll put out a few more bad landings before breaking on me. As for the battery. I've gone as high as 3S 5000mAh and she was fine, but larger definitely increases the challenge for greasy landings ;)

@@BrianPhillipsRC My 2nd plane ever was the Parkzone T-28 Trojan, like 14 years ago. No retracts and bent that nose gear all the time. I added flaps and it ended up with a Power 25 and 60Amp ESC... Loved it and finally got rid of it 3 months ago cause I haven't flown it in years and needed the space. The elevator was so brittle from age that it snapped just in me moving it in the garage... was still sad though. :)

[@johnsons74thsquadron74]

How ironic😂😂. I did the exact same thing with mine on a following flight not too long after the maiden only it was caught by a sudden gust of wind upon landing rather than stalling, which hurled it into the ground. Managed to remove the strut to bend it back into position. But it’s a daunting process having the strut attached with a c-clip rather than a pin. It was a tough process but the gear works perfectly once again. But when I’m not having to repair the gear, it is so much fun to fly😎😊👍

Thanks! I think this plane makes this plane look good, and I just crash them for dramatic effect - LOL ;)

[@JPh35]

Hello Brian, If you want your nose gear to retract smoothly, you have to retract it in a straight line. As the front wheel is steerable, if the gear retracts while you're using the vertical stabiliser, you run the risk of jamming the retraction mechanism. So you should only retract/retract the gear when you're flying in a straight line.

[@pauld5631]

You could make flying a bathtub look smooth. Nice video!

I tend to agree, but people are nervous about parts stock - fair concern...since V1 was out for a long time with no replacement towards it's end of life....BUT this plane is well worth the risk of breaking a nose gear. It's probably one of my favorite planes, and no BS...I like a lot of planes btw ;)

hello Brian what is your flight time with lipo 4s 3200mah please?

I'm sorry, we don't keep track of these numbers, but we do film the flights so you can see in the videos if you wish.

Hi Brian, what about strengthening the gear itself? Is there an aftermarket part or a stronger piece of metal to put in there?

Just picked this plane up. It is my first plane with retracts, unfortunately the nose retract came out of the box with a broken wire at the plug. Contacted horizon 3 days ago, still waiting on a response. Sucks and I hope that they will take care of it because I'm dieing to fly it.

I wish the 1.1m had reverse thrust! I suppose I could upgrade it, but it works really well stock.

Yeah, but also wish it had flaps ;)

Hey Brian!! When you getting your hands on the new E-Flite SR22T? I almost bought an old one the other day. So glad I didn’t ha ha!! You need to get yourself a UMX Pitts to. Flown mine everyday for a week and loving it :)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

ASAP! We're getting it, but shipment was delayed...strange ;) Pitts coming ASAP!

The 1.1 was legendary ❤️ ( crushed at least 4 😁) Now I ordered this one and waiting him ....But 4s seems too crazy

[@jakeclauson9863]

Why doesn't horizon give you an option for the esc in their planes? If they offered a more basic esc/electronics option and maybe a smaller price tag.. I would think not everyone needs all the extras. Although awesome options to have, would make it easier to commit to a purchase if you don't need all the extras

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I understand your concern. That would be a nice option, but just wouldn't hold your breath... Prices are getting crazy for everything. Not getting any better any time soon, so if you like it, buy it before they raise prices again - super frustrating.

Does it fly easier compared to f4u. Thanks for the video

Yes, but only very slightly.

I love the T-28! I fly a parkzone and looking for one with retracts and flaps. Maybe I missed info on this plane. Can you provide additional info on this bird? Does it come in a larger scale? Great video!! Thanks.

Fly on a grass field. Should I be concerned about landing gear. Do they make this plane with fixed gear? Thanks again for your videos.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

The nose gear is what people complain about, but you can land on mains and make it work fine ;)

[@davidgerlach1132]

Brian, simple, silly or just curious question. I know you like the Eflight Commander 1.4m, how would you compare this T-28 1.2m to the Commander, and do you prefer one over the other?

[@anthonyanddawnreo5084]

could this be ok for a first plane new pilot?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It COULD be, but I'd suggest the 1.1m, as it's a lot less complex, and cheaper too, if you can tolerate the "half-step"... We have a list of "Beginner Planes" here - www.brianphillipsrc.com/beginnerplanes - if you want to check them out. Once you're through your first or second "Beginner Plane" you should be able to take your skills in any number of directions. The T-28 1.2m is a GREAT plane, and I want you to get it, but you might want to try something even easier for your FIRST plane... bprc.me/T28

[@MISmooth420]

So do you like the new T-28 vs the old version?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I love BOTH, but this one is even better!

Looks really fast on camera. Is it faster then eflite 1.2 P51 thats also a fast little plane. Also the A-10. 👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I actually don't know, but it does seem pretty fasssst ;) Love the way it flies. I do assume the A-10 is faster, with about 110mph speed, but this one is a lot BIGGER plane, and still seems fast.

[@737100200]

Please Brian, you need to fly further away from your wife before a life altering crash occurs. Normalize deviance is the gradual process through which unacceptable practice or standards become acceptable. Now you are one hell of a RC pilot and I am amazed by your skill of pushing the aircraft to the limits. I know you want to show what the airplane can do and at times how much abuse it can take. And that is fine. I have watched your channel for several years and have noticed that you are getting closer and closer. Is it really worth the risk of an aircraft striking your wife and seriously injuring her? You could have a gust of wind, a mechanical failure, or a radio glitch. Just because you have gotten away with it does not mean your luck will continue. Normalize deviance. Frank. 40+ years RC aircraft and helicopters 30 + years Commercial Pilot

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I'm sorry you see it this way. We take precautions that you aren't and won't ever see (Megan can't film herself and the plane at the same time, so you won't get the right angles to understand this). I get crow all the time for "rudely" telling Megan where to stand (we have a system, and understanding for how this works, when you talk to ATC, it's not RUDE, it's DIRECT - you get this, for sure)...this is just one of those things you won't see or have enough context to understand watching the video, so you'll have to take our word for it. Please don't misunderstand, I know you mean the best, and have tons more flight experience than me, but I just can't afford to take up this TYPE of argument...it's un-winnable...either you've already made up your mind, or you won't have 100% of the scope of what's going on, and I can't take the time to explain the whole situation every time. My point in replying this way is to assure you, we're being more careful than you might understand from the vantage point you get. This is one of the factors that contributed to how I ended up stalling btw. Lastly, I don't want you to think I'm angry, because I'm not, but if this thread continues, I'll just have to delete it. Not trying to be a jerk, I just don't have time to let this become an argument that you probably don't want, and I don't want you to think I don't value you, or your opinion, but I just can't afford the time it takes to go through these arguments over and over again, since they don't usually end well, and feeling get hurt. Remember, I've been having them for 7 years now, and lots of experience in this arena (un-winnable arguments). I love my wife dearly, and I will NOT hurt her. With all due respect, you should probably already know this by now, and you might. Please don't take this the wrong way - comments are fine, and expressing concerns are fine too, just don't want to have a drawn out point for point argument...which is, in the past, where this pretty much always leads.

[@chknlyps2373]

@@BrianPhillipsRC well I think I see it a little different than some of the comments here. I have watched/helped produce a bunch of different action type videos and have done some filming so my perspective on how things appear are probably different than most. It is extremely hard to manage zoom when something is 100 feet away, then in a second or 2 passes by at 15 feet away, then is 100 feet away in another second and a half. Megan is one of the best amateur videographers I have seen following a small rc plane. Most other flying videos you see the plane is just a dot at 150 feet away or it is all over the place because it is hard to follow smoothly when zoomed in. At 40 mph that is about 60 feet a second. When zoomed in to see a plane well at 100 feet away like Megan does, it only takes just over a second for the plane to be right in front of the camera, then just over a second for the plane to be 100 feet away again. At the zoom level need to see clear at 100 feet (like Megan does) it appears to be super close and huge when passing by when in reality it is many, many feet away

[@b_hills]

Would you recommend this one over the smaller 1.1 version? It it worth the extra 100$ ? And is a 2200 Lipo too light for it?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

100% yes, unless you're a very new pilot. WELL WORTH THE $100 more. 100% more plane for the cash. 2200 is fine - you can use it, but I suggest 4S if you have one. If you only have 3S fly that until you get a 4S and you'll be happy ;)

[@b_hills]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian, just ordered mine 💪

[@M4rkmcc21]

thanks for the great review Brian. this plane does seem faster than my eflite P39 and P47. is this due to the newer 70 amp ESC compared to the older 40 amp one? I think the motors are still the same. Unfortunately iv just crashed the P47 and needing a new £35 servo for the landing gear. it's got me thinking maybe a new plane too.. where would you spend your money? £250 Eflite Vans, £300 viper 70 or this £350 T28? cheers.
