5. Mount the wing to the fuselage with the supplied bolts. Make sure to feed servo wires into passage to fuselage compartment, ensuring no wires are pinched in the wing saddle. 6. The final stage of assembly is to mount propeller. Slide prop onto motor shaft, engaging molded hex detail on back of propeller to hex fitting on prop shaft. Tighten prop nut to shaft firmly by hand. Note: It is recommended that you balance the prop and spinner before installing for optimum performance and efficiency.
Congratulations, basic assembly of your T-28 Trojan is now complete. Please perform a final check on all screws, bolts and components, ensuring all are secure and firmly in place.
SETTING UP YOUR MODEL: 1. With your receiver installed and all servos plugged into their corresponding channels, connect the flight battery to the ESC to power up the electronics. With the model now armed, ensure all servos are centered and all control surfaces are level. If not, adjust by turning the control clevises by hand accordingly until the control surfaces are level as shown. Note: For safety reasons, it is advised that this is done with the prop removed from the model.
2. Check control surfaces for proper movement with applicable stick input. A reversed control could lead to loss of control and damage to the model. 4. Linear power delivery is important to optimal flight performance. Calibrate the ESC using the instructions below when switching to a new transmiter. A. Switch ON the transmitter and move throttle stick to 100%. (Full Throttle) B. Connect flight battery pack and wait about 2 seconds. C.
50-60mm 5. The center gravity (CG) for the T-28 Trojan is approximately 50-60mm from the leading edge of the wing. Using the recommended Turnigy 4S 14.8V 2200mah LiPo, the correct CG can be attained quite easily due to the ample battery space. If using larger capacity batteries, you may need to shift the battery backwards more to attain the correct CG. eht morf derusaem nehw mm06-05 GC .toor eht ta gniw eht fo egde gnidael .
MODEL FLYING PRECAUTIONS ● Select your flight area carefully. Always choose an open space that is unobstructed from trees and buildings and away from crowed areas. Avoid flying in area’s with roads, electric/telephone poles/wires and water near by or within close proximity to full size air traffic. ● Do not fly this model in poor weather. High winds, low visibility, inclement temperatures, rain and storms are to be avoided. ● Never attempt to catch this model whilst in flight.
Flying the T-28 Trojan The Durafly T-28 Trojan not only looks good as the original, but flies just as well; capturing perfectly those excellent flight qualities that established the it as such a popular RC sport model all those years ago. The T-28 Trojan requires no special flying considerations as it is such a well mannered sport model suitable for both novice and experienced fliers alike. The model has a good range of speed and is just as happy fling at low throttle as she is full throttle.
T-28 Trojan TIPS When handling the T-28 Trojan it is recommended that you do so only from the leading edge of the wing to avoid wear to the edges of the fuselage. The T-28 Trojan by design has flat sides and hard edges that are vulneralbe as painted EPO. Over time these edges can get worn down if handled so it is best to avoid handling the T-28 by any surface other than the wing.
