Cool little plane

Jan 18, 2023

Just unpacked it and all seems good, some parts came loose in shipment but otherwise the wing and fuse are pretty OK from shipping, haven't had a chance to fire it up yet but am looking forward to it.

Pretty good

Nov 07, 2022

Well constructed and made, the tail could be easier to install but not a big problem.
Flies very well with a Pixhawk and two 4S batteries in parallel.

Great plane but the ESC is crap

Apr 20, 2022

The ESC does not seam to remember settings and you have to reteach the throttle Min Max all the time. replacing the ESC wit a Spektrum unit because all my other electronics are Spectrum

This is an excellently detailed product (my 3rd. yes the others are still flying), performance is good and speed is scale.

Flies like the full sized aircraft - scale, paint needs protection form wear and tear with handling -sealing maybe?

Chuck

Apr 07, 2022

Would probably buy again. Only suitable for smooth fairly hard runways. If you land on rough ground/weeds likely all three landing gear struts will bend and not close. Assembly takes considerably longer than an hour due to tight fits and need to relieve areas for clearance. Internal surfaces are coated with mold release and must be well cleaned to adhere to. Speed brake servo, located under the wing, worked once and died. Nose weights were needed for balance. The nose landing gear hung on the door due to a spring not stretched enough to fully open the door. Supplemental springs had to be added to both sides. Quiet in flight and forgiving of errors.
Recommended spare parts:
Alcohol and swabs for removing mold release
Velcro and adhesives for retaining battery, wires.
Nine gram servos
Struts for all three-landing gear

Poor Manufacturing

Apr 06, 2022

I received the T28 and tried to assemble it and found the molded plastic part that hold the horizontal stabilizer was put in crooked, and made the model useless. Getting a replacement part is taking forever even though Hobby King shows the fuselage in stock in the US.
The model itself is fine. The blue tape on the bottom is coming loose and will have to be redone. I would recommend using a standard 10x6 3 blade propeller until you are use to landing this plane before putting on the scale prop.

good plane for the money

Mar 16, 2022

It's easy to build. It's easy to fly. But the landing gear is extremely weak. To build in FPV needs components from HK. Others don't fit. Overall it's a nice plane, but you can't get any spare parts.... This sucks!

Frail landing gear

Feb 09, 2022

This plane is fabulous except for the frail retract landing gear. It might be ok on concrete or bitumen landing pads but on grass it is absolutely useless. After every fly there is damage to the gear. Usually bent shafts and consequently the effect of the gear is lost. You make this weak landing gear always on your great scale planes of which I have had many. Now I am converted to taildraggers.
Beef it up to double the thickness then we will get more enjoyment from 3 wheel undercarriage.
