New H9 T-28 Trojan Arf ??
 
I am hearing rumors of a new H9 T-28 Trojan ARF, something large, in the 90-100 " range that may be forth coming. Anyone else have any scoop on this ?
I think it would be a great seller for them if there is any truth to it.
Your thoughts ?

Where did you hear the rumors?

tailskid 08-18-2018 09:47 AM

I've been BEGGING them for a GS T-28 for over15 years....I sure hope that rumor is TRUE!!!

BarracudaHockey 08-18-2018 10:27 AM

Interesting rumor :)

tailskid 08-18-2018 02:35 PM

I just hope it is true! Another great idea would be a Top Flite GS ARF....in the 110"WS zone.

u2fast 08-20-2018 04:09 AM

its true

IFLYBVM2 08-20-2018 04:39 AM

YES !!!! Can't wait. Hope Daryl will do some kick butt gear for it when it is relesed.

And you know this how?

BOLTMAN 09-16-2018 07:48 PM

Anyone heard any more about this?

tailskid 09-17-2018 11:29 AM

love to have one in my hangar!

Lifer 09-17-2018 12:06 PM

Any guesses as to what size engine would go in a plane this size?

If its in the 100" w/s range I believe the Byron T28 was 1/5 scale and 98" w/s. There is a video out there of one with a 100cc twin, so that would be sweet

tailskid 09-17-2018 07:11 PM

Saw a Byron T-28 fly over the weekend by Dean Copeland....beautiful!

Awesome! this rumor has me putting the skids on a project I was gonna pull the trigger on, a big t28 with a 3 piece wing and 100cc twin would be worth waiting for!

Ram-bro 09-18-2018 09:46 AM

this is one on my bucket list.

kork 09-20-2018 09:36 AM

I guess its just a rumor then?

BarracudaHockey 09-20-2018 10:05 AM

Where there's smoke there's often fire.

Lifer 09-20-2018 10:11 AM

Could be they are testing the waters, as well. One thing is for sure, if they release this model and you really like it, buy another one cause it will have a short life in Horizon's inventory.

BOLTMAN 11-13-2018 08:23 AM

A bit more time has gone by, has anyone heard ( or seen ) any more on this one?

oriole 02-27-2019 01:11 PM

The Toledo Show is a little over a month away (April 5,6,7). If Horizon doesn't have a "Show" model at their booth... I would think it is not going to happen anytime soon, if at all.

BarracudaHockey 02-27-2019 01:55 PM

I didn't hear anything about it being at AMA Expo either

PLANE JIM 03-31-2019 03:11 PM

This is as close as I will get....

planenutzz 05-24-2019 11:38 PM

anymore news on this?

RickVB 08-06-2019 10:04 AM

I guess this was just one more incidence of wishful thinking...

IFLYBVM2 08-06-2019 10:26 AM

What the ?
 
Anybody know what this new release that they are coming out with on August 15th ? They are giving hints on their FB page-can't quite tell what it is ?https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...5e8fe04807.jpg

BarracudaHockey 08-06-2019 10:43 AM

Something cool i'm sure.

RickVB 08-06-2019 10:46 AM

Well, based on the spinner and the cowl shape (note the reflection of the shadow), it doesn't appear to be a T-28...

BOLTMAN 08-06-2019 10:16 PM

A couple of observations on that pic.

1 the Trojan does not have that much outlet area at the back of the cowl.

2 Based on the size of the bolt in the front of that spinner, whatever plane it is, its not as big as the rumoured Trojan was to be.

paladin 08-07-2019 04:48 AM

notice in the reflection the cowl flaps in the shadow, rules out the t-6

quist 08-07-2019 06:39 AM

Look at the mirror image in the spinner

IFLYBVM2 08-07-2019 11:55 AM

My guess is currently Ki-84 Frank.....

planenutzz 08-07-2019 03:14 PM

nanching ...

That's exactly what I was thinking; look at the wingtips in the reflection.

Where did that photo come from, anyway? I can't find it on the Horizon Facebook page...

Nah, the Nanchang doesn't have cowl gills as can be seen in the reflection of the shadow of the cowl.

It was on the Hangar 9 FB page.
