T-28 Trojan Red and White 1770mm (69") Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA1056-001

The North American Aviation T-28 Trojan is a radial-engine military trainer aircraft manufactured by North American Aviation and used by the United States Air Force and United States Navy beginning in the 1950s. Besides its use as a trainer, the T-28 was successfully employed as a counter-insurgency aircraft, primarily during the Vietnam War. It has continued in civilian use as an aerobatics and warbird performer.

This recently developed Nexa T-28 Trojan is now accessible to hobbyists, featuring a large interior hatch to enable convenient access with either electric or gas power. Incredible scale details, including a functioning pilot door, make the T-28 Trojan an optimal selection in any hangar.

Anyone have one of these?

[Winger1000]

These models have been available in Europe for months now. The European site that sells them has sold out and restocked since they first popped up on the Motion site - yet they aren't here yet. Getting antsy...

Nice, I hope someone writes up a flight report.

[Gilatrout]

I bet the 3 bladed flightline Corsair prop would look pretty good in this model

I wish this bird was out sooner, but I’m happy to say I just ordered one. I’m a huge fan of the T28, I learned how to fly using the 1.2 E-flite T28. This is a good size for this bird, got lots of ideas for the build. I’ll post any issues I have with the build, along with what I used for gear. I’ll also post a flight review, hopefully with a happy ending..🤪

I found electric retracts on Amazon 87$ they fit almost perfect in size, the nose retract has a small wheel but I had a front strut assembly on the shelf it was for a freewing a10 it fit perfect in the shaft from the Amazon retract, the whole process of adapting the retracts took about 10 minutes , the mains work perfect, I am putting the nose in tonight

I didn't buy the plane yet, and I want to make a full evaluation of the cost when RTF. Can you share the brand or details of the retracts you are using?
Thank you in advance

[Markj]

Didn’t find a part number , actually 81.99 , main wheels 2.75 dia front 1.75 , but like I said I used an a10 strut and wheel on the front, I have installed nose strut and had to use a dremmel to make a little clearance but it is operating nicely, set plane on floor and looks to be sitting nice and level with this setup, didn’t actually measure but looks nice , next up is gear doors

OK. Thank you for your help. With that info I think I have enough

WTH?
On Motion RC site:
Silver 1770mm Requires Admiral GP5 4220-770Kv Brushless Motor

Red & White 1770mm Admiral GP20 6320-295Kv Brushless Motor

[DR1-Pilot]

And good luck finding a motor for this. Gosh it would be nice if Motion could actually carry/stock items you need to complete the ARFs they sell.
BTW This plane is ridiculously heavy. The E-flite Carbon-Z T28 costs less than half as much by the time you add everything up, And can out perform this pig by leaps and bounds.
Sorry I wasted so much money on this.

[jhjanek]

I just bought one from Motion RC on impulse.
now that I have read these posts,,,”rotten truckers luck”, I guess.
This will be my first gas plane.
I bet it is a good thing I fly “Nice and Easy” like my hair color 😎.
I will update and post on my build. Probably looking at late summer or early fall to get it airborn.

I have one bought it as a VQ model exactly the same probably made in the same factory.Its's a great flying bird I was using a DX9 with a as3x receiver with a Saito FG 21 in it,so it sounded great.I bought a Radiomaster Tx-20 max and er6 receiver only because I nearly lost reception with the DX9.Unfortunatly I took it off and just could keep control of it for some reason and ended up crashing. Wouldn't mind getting the Silver Nexa one,it looks good at least I could the retracts and everything in it.
