    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.

    Features:
    • Complete Balsa and lite-ply construction for rigidity and durability
    • Covered from tip to tail in scale details
    • Large battery hatch allows for your chosen electric or gas setup
    Includes:
    • Nexa T-28 Trojan Red and White 1770mm (69") Wingspan - ARF

      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.

          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

                  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

                            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.

                              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.

                                  Just started the build on my NEXA T-28 (Red-White). As I was installing the aileron servo, I noticed that the covers on the servo mounting plates are white with no decal to match the wing. I checked the spare parts on the web site and found that Motion RC charges $10.00 for a decal set that includes the lettering for these mounting plates. That's what I call "Cheapskates"!Blank servo mounting plate

                                    I found this decal sheet supplied with my kit. I withdraw my "cheapskates" comment.

                                        How did the nose wheel gear doors work for you? Do they fit properly (open and closed)? Here is what mine look like
