Who's got one?

I love mine!

I got one too and it is my first fixed wing :), also tried the 10x7x3 blades by MAS

Is it faster? Where can I get that prop online? What brand and size tires are those?

The props (MAS 10x7 3 blade) are slower than the stock, what you get is the scale look and cool sound :) The wheels are Dubro Super Lite Wheels 2" http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&W=001518387&I=LXAZE3&P=K both can be bought from Towerhobbies.com

Did you have to modify the hole in the center of the prop to fit the T-28?

Yup, used a prop reamer and sandpaper. Yesterday I flew with the 3 bladed props and everyone was noticing the sound it creates as it buzzed around the field. Used it for one flight and swapped back the stock props, somehow I couldn't get used too the slow speed and keep looking for the stock prop's speed make, you'll know what I mean ;) I am waiting for my APC 10 x 7E props, some says it is better than the stock blades. I'll post the results as soon as I get and try it.

Hi,

Got one. I modified the Motor mount and installed a turnigy motor with a 40A ESC + SportBEC

Nice plane. IMHO but if you want REAL fun... get a Funjet :D

T28 is so easy to fly. I installed a Camera for aerial pictures :D

yep just got mine today, have been reading up on them for weeks, they reckon they are one of the best :thumbup:

i was even luckier as i must of got one of the brand new models as mine has a 30-Amp Pro Switch-Mode Bec Brushless ESC instead of the 25-Amp one that so many have had trouble with

can't wait to get good weather to go have a fly

cheers chuck

is this a good beginner plane? this is one i have been eying, and it doesn't cost a fortune.

[istandalone]

this is imho the best trainer out there. it's cheap, easy to fly, easy to crash (lol), and if you learn on this, you'll already know how to fly an aileron plank. i've never understood the theory of getting something like a supercub to learn on, with just rudder and elevator. because then you'll have to learn again when you get a "real" plane. get one and don't look back. i got one in march, and now have three other planes and a edf jet.

[Pinecone]

I really want one, but everytime I get ready to buy one, I do something like buy the Vibe 50. :)

I don't know...there's quite a few airplane guys at the club that feel that the rudder channel is for steering around on the ground!

[Whirly-Girl]

I highly recommend this plane. I test flew one for a fellow and fell in love with how easy it was to fly and how cheap replacement parts are. Even though I never got one for myself, at least 4 club members have bought one based on my recommendation and they LOVE it (and now I don't have to buy one since I can "borrow" theirs!) :thumbup:

Great plane! And I 2nd the comment on NOT starting on a rudder only plane like those Super Cubs. Steer clear! They will only teach you bad habits like rudder on your right thumb. How dumb!

[joegamma1]

Oh ya great plane! But with me its crash and glue, crash and glue. It's not hard to fly I just get carried away, and end up trying too much, and my skills are.....lets say, not there yet.
