Default RE: Parkzone North American T-28 Trojan


I haven't put a watt meter on it, so I can't tell you exactly how the 3 blade does on power consumption, but I think it is generally agreed 3 blade props shorten flight times, so I just plan on five minutes and land. What I like is the 3 blade prop makesmore thrust andseems to give the plane better slow speed manners, which helps on landing.



I haven’t noticed the motor or ESC getting hot, so I don’t think it is stressing them any at all.

By the way, I have ordered the FMS 1400 mm T-28, I plane to paint it the same.

Love the colors. How does the 3 blade prop perform compared with the stock 2 blade.

I love my T-28s. I have both Navy and Air Force along with many other planes, both nitro and electric. I fly t-28 more than all others combined.

Anyone have problems securing the battery? I have had trouble with one of mine with the battery shifting forward and causing a severe nose heavy balance problem.
