E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.2m Bind-N-Fly Basic Electric Airplane w/Smart ESC, AS3X & SAFE
About this part
This T-28 features a specially tuned motor and a 70A Smart Lite ESC making it capable of easy scale-like and sport flying for intermediate pilots, or flying at higher speeds and performing higher energy aerobatics in the hands of experienced pilots. With a compatible receiver (such as the AR631 included with the BNF® Basic version) and Smart or non-Smart batteries, the Smart Lite ESC can deliver a variety of real-time power system telemetry data including motor RPM, current, battery voltage, and more to Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters. These features bring you closer to the action and give you the data you need.
This Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX receiver featuring AS3X (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. The result is a heightened sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you're flying a much larger, expertly tuned aircraft.
Features:
- Updated and upgraded to be easier to fly and to offer improved scale-like, sport flying, higher speed and higher energy aerobatic capabilities
- Easy to take off, fly and land, making it a perfect "next step" after a trainer and first "full-house" warbird model

The quality of the air frame is great the quality of the nose landing gear is a piece of crap. E- Flite should be ashamed To put it on any of their airplanes. I had to put a retractable nose landing gear from a Free Wing 80 MM jet and that fixed the problem. The T=28 is one of the best flying airplanes I have the power is perfect it does everything above average.
This plane flies amazing. It can take off and land on grass. I like the retractable landing gear. The reason I do no give this plane 5 stars is that it has a fatal flaw with the front landing gear. Very weak and can fail easy if you do not land perfect. Otherwise great plane to have in your collection. This plane is a daily flyer for me!
The airplane arrived in good conditions, how ever I have to pick up the package and pay some duties ,which Nobody told me
Flies great! Shipped quickly and arrived in perfect shape.
I have had that model for a year standing after lost my nose landing gear the wheel warped.. I ordered an FMS fighter front gear kit. Eflite should be ashamed of the quality of a product that does not match the requirement for such an aircraft, as in Timber they screw up the landing gear a lot. Too bad.
Reviewers generally praise the T-28 Trojan's flight performance, with descriptions of it flying well, handling grass takeoffs and landings, and offering good power. Airframe build quality is also described as good. The recurring complaint concerns the nose landing gear, which reviewers say is weak, can fail on imperfect landings, and has warped or been lost. Two reviewers replaced it with aftermarket gear. One reviewer reported import duties on delivery, and another noted shipping and packaging were fine. Overall sentiment is positive, with four-star ratings common and the landing gear as the main reservation.
