hey everyone. i have been flying for about 4 months now. i really enjoy it. i started in rc trucks and 3 weeks after that i bought a hobby zone super cub. i enjoy flying and i am want to get into 4-channel. i was curious as to what trainer would be the best. i want a foam trainer. i think foam would be good for my next plane due to the durability. i have looking into the hobbico j-3 piper and it seems to fit my needs. i really want the RTF pz t-28 trojan. do you think it is a little too much? thanks for the help.

If you have been flying your Super Cub for several months and you're comfortable and confident with it, then the Parkzone T-28 Trojan is a great next step for you. I'd say go for it!

Some people may disagree with me but if you're flying skills are good for the short time you've been at it (be honest with yourself), then the Parkzone T-28 may work as your next plane. Keep the throws on low rates and it is a very gentle, stable , easy flying plane. If you aren't ready for it you may have to buy an extra wing or tail piece here and there.

I bought the RTF since the LHS had it in stock. For me it was a waste of money since I installed a Spektrum receiver a couple weeks later, bought extra batteries and used my Accucycle Elite charger instead of the included one. If you don't have a 4-channel radio already though along with a charger, etc., the RTF is a great deal.

the T-28 is a good plane, I got it as a second plane and learned aileron control with it. if you have a large place that your flying I'd also consider the hobbico electristar, it's not a foam plane, but it flies really good and is stable in the air. aside from that the T-28 can teach you all the controls and you'll still have fun with it once you've got it down.

thanks for all the input guys!
