FMS T28 Trojan - Three Bladed Prop Vs Two Bladed Props

[@rafaeltorres2886]

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 ..

[@RCPlaneAddict]

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!

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.

[@looneytunes47]

i used to use APC props but have found the the master air screw props to be much more efficient with better pulling power.

[@RCPlaneAddict]

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!

[@looneytunes47]

@@RCPlaneAddict Yes thats another thing they look a ton more scale and correct looking as too the real thing.

[@RichieRich980215]

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!

[@RCPlaneAddict]

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!

[@RCPlaneAddict]

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.

[@looneytunes47]

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.

[@RCPlaneAddict]

James, thanks for the suggestion. I will have to try that out.

[@littlfire]

Cool ~ ! Great Fun .

[@RCPlaneAddict]

Hey thanks for checking out the vid. Good fun, terrible gear. It is a good learning experience though.

[@rafaeltorres2886]

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.

[@RCPlaneAddict]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to pick some up and try them out. Cheers.

[@toddshobbyzone659]

Did you do a video on installing flaps on this t28

[@RCPlaneAddict]

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?

[@toddshobbyzone659]

@@RCPlaneAddict not yet, I gotta fly mine a bit more before I modify it

[@toddshobbyzone659]

I made a mistake, I thought this was the eflite t28- the one without flaps-- now I realize this is the fms

[@RCPlaneAddict]

No worries, its probably because I froze my retracts. I'm waiting for them to break again so I can 3D print a fix.

[@Pedro-dk1ej]

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?

[@RCPlaneAddict]

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.

[@RCPlaneAddict]

Pedro, sorry about not responding to your last comment with the motor. Which motor did you buy? I can try to help.

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 🤙🏻🇬🇧🛩

[@RCPlaneAddict]

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

[@xboxice2005]

I crashed my p47 two weeks ago 😕she's no more now.

[@franciscomoises82]

Did you have both props balanced? Btw the grass looks like a shag carpet baby! Yeah.....

[@RCPlaneAddict]

I did not balance my props, rookie mistake, and the grass is extra plush friend!

[@My_AviationChannel]

Nice stall lol 👍

[@RCPlaneAddict]

Thanks for the support brother!

[@onapproachrc5471]

What size of 6s do you recommend flying on ?

[@RCPlaneAddict]

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.

[@TangoOne]

2 bladed props are more efficient than 3 blade. I think it's the size you chose.

[@RCPlaneAddict]

Remedy, thanks for checking out my vid, and please leave any suggestions for prop sizes, that you think I could benefit from. Cheers.

[@xboxice2005]

Three blade would have more toque 😀

[@RCPlaneAddict]

Your right about that. Cheers

Love you co-host.....lol
