Which One Is Better?
 
Which is better and why?
Parkzone T-28 Trojan or E-Flite Apprentice 15e?

The word "Better" is very subjective. Is this your first plane, or can you already fly?

If you haven't flown before, the Apprentice is a much better choice, but be sure to get help. Even the best trainer is no substitute for a good instructor!

Both are good flying, quality airplanes. Ithink the fact that the full-scale T-28 was used as a militray trainer confuses people sometimes though. They see the word "trainer" and associate it with an RC trainer which it really isn't. It is definitely a nice, great flying intermediate plane though. If you are brand new then go with the Apprentice. If you have experience then the T-28 is excellent.

I use to have a Piper Club.. 3 channel... I got it doing backflips in 3 days I can get the hang no doubt... Ive done it with all R/C's people just say I have the gift... Rc shops tell me I could go pro with easie... So... Will the Apprentice 15e fly upside down? OR do yall have better ideas? 5 channel 6 channel ect?

If you have successfully flown a Cub then the T-28 may be a better option. It will be fairly tame but still capable of sport-type aerobatics. May favorite thing to do with it though is touch & goes. It just looks cool gently touching down on the main wheels.

Yeah as long as it is reliable.. I just liked the looks of the 15e... I mean would the T-28 fly upside down better or the apprentice?

The T-28 will be more responsive and fun, it will also be cheaper and easier to repair when you go OOPS!

You also might want to look at this one. I reviewed it last autumn and it can be docile or a real preformer - And it flies great inverted
