Official Nexa 1770mm T-28 Trojan Red and White ARF Thread

[chrisbzzl67]

good morning,
May i ask if anyone has the T28 1.4 and the battery of choice. I have been told to get the 4s 3700 or the 5s 4000. Has anyone flown either and recommendations please?

Thank you for any assistance regarding battery selection.

Hey Vic,

What's the latest with your T28? Have you put it up yet?

How is everyone setting up the steering with retracts. Seems like there is allot of wood in the way. Pictures if you can

A gaping hole is presented for the nosewheel wheel well without the gear doors installed. This not only looks bad but probably affects the flight characteristics. I fabricated a cover for the wheel well to help with this issue.

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

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

Here is a link to my "Build Thread" where you will find lots of valuable information about this model.

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

[iFLY_RC Vic]

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"!

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.

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.

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.

WTH?
On Motion RC site:

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

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

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..🤪

[Gilatrout]

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