T-28 Trojan 1.1m Manual

Model Assembly Continued

Tail Installation

1. Place the model on its landing gear.

2. Turn the horizontal tail so the control horn faces down.

3. Slide the horizontal tail in the horizontal tail mount until it is centered

perpendicular to the vertical tail.

4. Apply 4 pieces of tape (A) on the fuselage mounts and the top and bottom

of the horizontal tail.

5. Attach the clevis to the elevator control horn (see instructions for

clevis connection).

6. When needed, disassemble in reverse order.

Landing Gear Installation

1. Turn the model so the bottom of the wing faces up.

2. Install the main landing gear by inserting the main gear struts (A) into the

corresponding gear plate hole located on each wing.

3. Carefully turn each strut in the gear plate until the horizontal section (B) of

the strut gently snaps into place.

4. Loosen the nose gear screw (C) in the nose gear arm before installing

the nose gear strut (D). The screw may be fully installed at the factory, so

loosen the screw enough to ensure the screw does not block the strut. A

hole in the cowling allows a screwdriver to be used to turn the screw on

the nose gear arm.

If more maneuvering space is needed, remove the propeller and cowling

from the model before installing the nose gear (as shown in the “Motor

Service” section of this manual).

5. Install the nose gear strut so the ﬂ at surface of the strut faces forward. The

coil in the nose gear strut should face the rear of the airplane. Fully insert

the nose gear strut into the nose gear arm. When inserted, the top of the

strut will touch the upper portion of the ﬁ rewall.

6. Fully tighten the nose gear screw against the ﬂ at surface of the nose gear

strut.

7. When needed, disassemble in reverse order.

Always ensure the steering linkage clevis on the rudder servo arm is correctly

adjusted so the model steers straight when the rudder control is at neutral.
