FMS - T-28D Trojan - 1.4m - Maiden Flights + Thrust Reverse Setup

[@howiedenton2709]

Brian, when you get your 2m Carbon Z T-28, you gotta do a flight line on the drive way with this 1.4m FMS T-28, the E-Flite 1.1m and the 2m CZ T-28’sfor a size comparison, would look cool too, Russian Doll style..!!

[@griffonwings5177]

I can’t wait to hear your voice on the 2.0 meter. I don’t remember if you had the older version . Gonna be you favorite for landing and more. I truly love mine. Any t-28 are just great .

[@mattsmith3135]

I watch a number of channels dedicated to RC flying, and your flying style is my favourite. Relaxed, confident, not wanting to go too fast, just soaking up that goodness as those machines sail past. No 'mansplaining' to your other half, either. Keep it up, Jack Black of the skies!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Awesome!!! Glad you see these things, and thanks for the comment. It's reassuring that you're seeing things this way.

[@M4rkmcc21]

Brian after setting mine up and doing some Amp testing on 6s, the motor got seriously hot! (I had an Avian 130A) it pulled 180A and on a 100A Avian it pulled 160A. Mine is the updated 650kv motor too. Now I doubted 6s, I see on FMS website and in my instructions that it's recommended to use 4s. The P47 is 6s because it has the 460kv motor. That's why I think your esc pooped itself when you tried the 6s. The Amp pull is huge!! I'm going to try 5s and hope that's the sweet spot as when on 4s it pulled 70A max.

[@andyp.4205]

Great video, I was able to get my smaller 1.1mm E-Flite Trojan T-28 in the air today and I absolutely love this plane and totally agree with you. The scale military are so enjoyable and relaxing to fly.

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

Brian. Nice bird from FMS. Always admired this one from afar. I too have the Eflite 1.2M V1. Still going strong even after upgrading it to handle 4s. Sure was nice to see you and Megan pay a visit on the PRM YT channel last Sat. Y’all should do more of that. Take care, Brad. 👋😊

[@jeffreystone7327]

Sweet deal here. Nice sized plane for its price. Great appearance and flight characteristics. Plus an AR620 receiver, MONEY SAVER. Especially with how you have programmed it. Lots of features for the same money. Well done Sir. This is one to have. Can’t wait to watch the unbox, build and setup. I have an Arrows 1100mm T-28 that’s a bit banged up. Looks like a great replacement here. Thank you both.

[@RCflyingnuts]

Hi Brian. Excellent work as usual! And you did it again….I had to buy it! I did get the 8 channel Spektrum receiver to keep things simple😮!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Excellent! AWESOME! Glad you got the 8 channel...it'll make it a LOT easier, and then you can take FULL advantage of throws on flaps, with so much less dinking around!

[@nathanmcguire1449]

Another amazing video as always = ) I recently got into the hobby and your videos have been absolutely essential! I appreciate all of the great work you both put in to put together such great content. I think it would be cool if you put together some favorite lists (favorite plane of year, favorite plane in class, etc.). I look forward to many more great reviews!

LOL… Brian and Megan have had the exact same effect on me, except around 12 years out of the hobby. In less than 3 weeks, I have 3 planes, 9 batts, and a NX8, and a 4th plane backordered until April. The technology has evolved incredibly since my last foray into it; what a time to be alive! 🤓

[@michaelebersole6989]

What a beautiful plane! So fast! Thanks!

[@snoriverrc3842]

I'm looking forward to seeing you fly the 2M this summer. The Predator often doesnt tell you its reversing, and its only on a few size ESCs. I'm pretty certain the Yak 130 I recently built only had 3 wires. Wow that flies slow beautifully and you didnt even have wind. You could practically reach out and catch it. 1.4m is a nicer size to store and transport, the 2 meter is huge even with the wings off.

[@russel419]

I like that you are using the NX series transmitters. It's great for us new guys. I'd suggest the IX transmitters for those non beginner, high dollar planes.

[@phoenixeasyrider6026]

Great videos, great plane. Have the 1.1, it's awesome also. Can't wait for the 2.0 Video??

[@AeroNautical100]

This is a really good idea. Correct me if I’m wrong but what you did was put thrust reversing and flaps on the same channel by having these ranges: ( not exact just conveying the concept) Take off flaps 50 Landing flaps 90 Landing flaps + 10 makes reverse thrust because reverse needs 100? Great idea!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Pretty much ;) I dont' want to say 100% exactly, since I don't recall off the top of my head what the values were, but you got the right idea.

[@Djray54]

Just caught your video and the trouble you were having with using a 6s battery. I was having the same issue and found it was a timing issue with esc. Apparently the esc and motor are out of sync and by setting the timing to low it solved the issue. Something so simple was causing me a lot of frustration. Give it a try.

[@GoofballFlyer]

If using a 6s I think you can limit max throttle to maybe 75% and not have the motor issues but still have a larger battery capacity and more flight time.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Only if the ESC arms.

Hi Brian. Just to let you know that my FMS T28 1400mm Trojan ESC does not have Thrust Reverse. It looks like they sent you one with the yellow cable on the throtle wire but the normal shipments do not have the yellow wire😢😢😢. I ended up buying an Avian ESC and benched the Predator 80Amps for future use.

[@redwineisfine]

Hey buddy, was looking for a good midsized prop plane with spring-loaded tricycle landing gear that has a 5-8 minute flight time for FPV... Does the canopy lock in on this, or is it magnetic?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I can't recall, but if you check out the UNBOX BUILD RADIO SETUP video (in the playlist), you will 100%, for sure, see that detail.

[@redwineisfine]

@BrianPhillipsRC Sorry, I forgot about those. Ty my friend

[@RaGeRC]

I've noticed that a lot of the newer planes are coming with an esc with signal reverse wire. My FMS 64mm Rafale has it and I setup thrust reverse on that . Also my new 80mm X-Fly T-7A also comes with a signal reverse wire. I setup thrust reverse on that but it didn't seem to he very effective. I'm sure you'll be doing the 80mm X-Fly T-7A so maybe you can experiment with it as well.

[@DuneDaddyO]

Of all of the T-28's available and on the market today (which is a ton!) in what I call "Mid Size" 1.1 up to 1.4, choosing between the $230 Arrows 1.1 PNP with no gyro buy you could add Vector for another $20, or for $100 more the $320 1.2 V4 Horizon Hobby with the 70 amp Avian ESC and SAFE, or the most expensive $390 FMS 1.4 with the leds? I think I'm gonna guess with your own money on the line you'd go with the 1.2 V4 all things considered (weak nose gear and all)? And although slightly smaller seems to be more of a ripper on 4S than the 1.4, and possibly a slightly better flyer, correct? This is of course without regard to the livery preference, just flight characteristics and performance and full house features. I don't think you ever reviewed the Arrows T-28? I know everyone has their own opinion, just curious what yours is if you can say it here without offending anyone? Thanks Brian!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

bprc.me/T28 - 1.2m 100% all day. The 1.4m is a lot more plane!!! That being said, the 1.2m has it all. Get that, then when you want a bigger experience, you can get the 2.0m Carbon Z, and you'll NEVER look back! (same link)

[@toddolejniczak5652]

@BrianPhillipsRC I've seen the 2.0 in person and it is a big Mama Jama. Like need a trailer to get it to the field and then assemble it there big but it is oh so glorious and sounds amazing at full song.

[@nolavigil5117]

Hi Brian , you mentioned the motor was loose , mine has become loose too but is not the screws that holds it , do you know how to fix this? I also hear a rumbling sound from the motor when I fly it,also changed the esc to an avian and fly it now on 6 s, is a Beast. Your input is appreciated 🙂

Hey Brian I have a question me and my wife are me to rc plane flying I just bought a spitfire and we have a fsu Corsair and so we would like your opinion wat is the best way for us to fly these planes and get better at it so we can advance to bigger planes

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

What SIZE FMS Corsair and T-28? The size makes a big difference, as you'll figure out quickly as you advance in your own piloting skills. Can I suggest you start with "easier" planes, so as to help prevent a bad experience early on? It's not that these planes are REALLY HARD to fly, but more that there's a lot easier to fly, and if you start with the wrong thing, you can kinda ruin your psyche before you get good enough to handle that type of let down.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Please don't hear what I'm suggesting as a put down, or let you get discouraged. EVERYONE has to start somewhere, and you COULD with the T-28, but I'd rather you have these planes survive for next year when you're well on your way to success, then to blow $500-1000 on planes that end up in the "spare parts" bin. You can do it!

[@chrisswartzfager5814]

Thanks for the advice and I have been looking at the club. Thank you and thanks for your great videos and the advice you give

[@mrvoyagerm]

My ten year old Grand Tundra from Avios came with thrust reverse through an additional lead off the ESC to any separate channel on the TX. Guess what, you just wait for the motor to stop and switch it and you are now in reverse. The new Aerostar ESCs can be switched any time and you don't have to wait for the prop to stop. I will be replacing the stock 70 amp Avian ESC in my new 2.0m T-28 with the new 100 Amp Aerostar and problem solved with no monkey buisiness.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

This isn't an Avian ESC...it's a Preditor (FMS's branding) - We've never had this issue with an Avian (Although I HAVE accidently turned it on while in flight a few times on Avian's - aka pilot error), but we have had it kind of a lot with the FMS offering...BUT what happened here was a pilot error, not an ESC issue, to be totally clear.

[@Big-Hass]

Hi Brian, then is it fair to say the plane cannot be run on 6S as is? If FMS statement of it can be run on 5S and 6S is conditional on upgrading the ESC and changing the prop size then it is a misleading statement from my perspective. I just bought this plane and I am very sorry I could not use your link because I live in Canada and FMS has a separate website / warehouse for Canadian market (otherwise I would gladly use your link), but the only reason I ordered this plane is to run it with my 6S 2600mAh batteries, otherwise I would buy the Eflite 1.2m BNF if I wanted to fly the plane on 4S. I appreciate it if you can let me and others know what you have found out about the conditions where the "5S and 6S capable" statement stands. Regards, Hassan from Canada
