HobbyZone T-28 Trojan 450mm RTF RC Plane Introduction

Now it's easier than ever to learn to fly RC (Radio Controlled) airplanes in more places and smaller spaces with the HobbyZone® T-28 Trojan 450mm! Its ultra-micro size makes it perfect for flying in large yards, parks, soccer fields, and other suitable spaces where larger RC “trainer” models can’t typically be flown successfully by first-time pilots. Plus, it features a “pop off” prop-saver design and incredibly tough EPP construction, making it one of the most durable trainer airplanes yet! Best of all, it also features SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology that helps prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation, and crashes, so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully. The 100% factory-assembled airframe is equipped with a reliable electric power system, receiver, and servos. It’s also RTF (Ready-To-Fly) right out of the box, including two rechargeable batteries, a charger, and a controller/transmitter, so there’s nothing else you need to buy or provide to fly!

HobbyZone T-28 Trojan 450mm RTF RC Plane Overview

Welcome to the exciting world of RC (Radio Controlled) flight! If you’ve ever dreamed of taking to the skies, Horizon Hobby has you covered. We are committed to engineering aircraft that you can learn to fly successfully, even if you’ve never flown RC before. Every HobbyZone® aircraft we offer features industry-leading design and technology, developed by experts, to keep you in control and learning at your own pace, so you can turn your dreams of flight into a reality!

The North American Aviation T-28 Trojan became the primary trainer aircraft of the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marines soon after WWII. It was in service for more than 30 years, and today, many are still being used for aerobatic and warbird demonstrations at air shows and beyond. The HobbyZone T-28 Trojan 450mm is a scale replica of the iconic military trainer that makes learning to fly radio-controlled (RC) airplanes in more places and smaller spaces easy and fun! Its ultra-micro size makes it an ideal choice for a smaller trainer model that can be flown in large yards, parks, soccer fields, and other suitable spaces where larger models can’t typically be flown successfully by first-time pilots. Best of all, it’s equipped with Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope (SAFE) technology that helps to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation, and crashes, so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully! Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced flight modes allow you to choose the level of stability and control you need, or are ready to try, at the flip of a switch.

And the fun doesn't stop while or after you learn how to fly! The lightweight yet extremely durable EPP airframe is equipped with a powerful electric motor that delivers long flight times and provides plenty of speed and power for aerobatic maneuvers, including loops, rolls, and even inverted (upside-down) flight in the Experienced mode. Or, if you’re not ready to perform aerobatics on your own, the T-28 can automatically perform single or even multiple loops or rolls in the Beginner or Intermediate flight modes with just a quick press of the “Aerobatics” button and by moving the control stick in the desired direction!

This Ready-To-Fly (RTF) model includes everything needed to fly in one box, making it ideal for new RC pilots. The 5-channel 2.4GHz transmitter with AA batteries, two 1S 400mAh LiPo batteries, and a charger compatible with many USB power sources leave nothing extra to buy. A spare propeller with a "pop off" saver design is even included in case you need it.

Skill Level 1 – No Experience Required

Skill Level 1 “trainer” aircraft are perfect for beginners and first-time RC (Radio Controlled) pilots because no prior experience is required to fly them! And after you learn to fly the T-28 Trojan 450mm successfully, you can move up to a larger and more capable trainer, like the AeroScout 1.1m or Carbon Cub 1.3m, or a “Skill Level 2 – Next Step After A Trainer” model.

Ready-To-Fly Convenience

This Ready-To-Fly (RTF) model includes a controller/transmitter equipped with 2.4GHz technology and everything else you need to fly, including AA batteries for the transmitter, two rechargeable lithium polymer batteries for the airplane, and a USB charger. That means there's nothing extra to buy or provide to fly, which also makes it an unbeatable value!

Fully Finished

The T-28 Trojan 450mm arrives 100% factory-finished with a unique, fully painted, high-visibility trim scheme inspired by a full-scale T-28. It’s also fully factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box. That means you can be flying in just the time it takes to charge the battery!

Durable Design

The unique “pop off” prop saver design, combined with construction from advanced EPP material, delivers a lightweight yet incredibly durable airframe that's tough enough to withstand everyday flying punishment without bending out of shape. A spare propeller is included, and in the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a replacement airframe and spare parts are readily available.

Capable Gear

Taxi over, take off from, and land on smooth surfaces using the included tricycle landing gear. Or leave the landing gear off to easily hand launch over, then land on grass or other suitable surfaces.

Learn to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Technology

If this is your first RC airplane, the included SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology prevents overcontrol and crashes. It also offers multiple flight modes to deliver more control and capabilities at the flip of a switch as your skills progress:

Beginner Mode

In this flight mode, the airplane has pitch (up/down) and bank (left/right) angle limits that prevent overcontrol, which could lead to a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the airplane automatically returns to level flight, allowing you to relax and enjoy simply 'steering' the airplane through the sky. Best of all, takeoffs are as simple as giving full throttle and letting the airplane fly off a suitable smooth surface, or by giving it a quick hand launch over surfaces such as grass. And landings are as easy as lowering the throttle and letting it glide to a landing on its own!

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode allows greater pitch and bank freedom but still prevents significant overcontrol, and the airplane returns to level flight on its own more slowly than in the Beginner mode. This allows you to make tighter turns and to climb and descend faster as your skills advance.

Experienced Mode

In this flight mode, there are no pitch or bank angle limits, so you have complete control! You can even fly inverted (upside down) and perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, stall turns, and more.

Automatic Aerobatics Mode

The fun doesn't stop while you learn how to fly! Even if you’re not ready to perform aerobatics on your own, the T-28 can automatically perform single or multiple loops or rolls in the Beginner and Intermediate flight modes with just a quick press of the “Aerobatics” button and by moving the control stick in the desired direction.
