E-flite T-28 Trojan 2.0m Smart SAFE Select BNF Basic

Exclusive technology

The BNF® Basic version is equipped with the exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. AS3X Flight Stabilization works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence, giving a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying an even bigger plane. Optional use of SAFE Select offers limited pitch and roll limits and automatic stability that can be turned on and off with the flip of a switch! If you do not want to activate the SAFE Select function, simply pair the receiver in the normal way and only the AS3X electronic stabilization will be active.

SMART technology

The Carbon-Z T-28 is equipped with the exclusive Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart Lite controller, which can provide you with a range of real-time drive-related telemetry data, including motor speed, current, battery voltage and more, thanks to the Smart feature, via compatible receivers (including AR637TA) and transmitters equipped with Spektrum AirWare™ (including DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, DX9, NX6, 8 and 10, iX12, iX14, iX20).

Powerful AC drive

The installed AC motor is compatible with 6S 3200-7000mAh LiPol batteries. You can use a 3200mAh LiPol battery for light weight and low surface load, or a 5000mAh LiPol battery for an optimal balance between power and handling, or up to a 7000mAh LiPol battery for long flight times of 10-15 minutes. The engine cover has a model of a radial engine installed, which greatly contributes to the realistic design of the model.

Retractable landing gear and flaps

The model has installed a 3-wheel retractable undercarriage with a steerable bow leg and more durable and reliable folding mechanisms. Flaps and LED landing and navigation lights are also installed, which are functional elements that take your experience to a higher level.

Rigid and durable Carbon-Z construction

The Carbon-Z construction combines solid and very durable and stiff EPO foam with appropriately placed carbon reinforcements, which add to the model's strength and mainly increase rigidity, so the construction comes out lighter than classic all-wood but is much more durable. In addition, possible repairs in the event of damage are facilitated. The cockpit with the pilot and dashboard is also ready.

Two-piece sash

No glue is needed for final assembly of the T-28, everything is assembled with a few screws. The two-part wing makes storage and handling during transport as easy as possible. The wing is connected using two laminate tubes, the preparation for flight consists of mounting the wing using 4 screws and connecting the connectors. You insert the battery and you can start.

AS3X™ stabilization

The Spektrum receiver is equipped with AS3X technology, which helps stabilize the model in flight. The receiver contains a three-axis MEMS gyro and an accelerometer, and thanks to electronic stabilization , control of the model is simplified , for example in windy weather. The model reacts similarly to a much larger model and its flight is calm without maintaining its full controllability. AS3X brings more confidence in driving.

SAFE Select™ technology for beginners

Thanks to the SAFE Select technology used, the model can be driven even by a less experienced pilot . The SAFE system prevents oversteer when cornering and also limits climbs and descents. Simply releasing the controller's control sticks will return the model to level flight. These functions will be especially appreciated by novice pilots who are not yet fully confident in driving the models.

As the name SAFE Select itself suggests, this is an optional feature - it's up to you whether you want to use or disable SAFE technology. The pairing method determines whether the SAFE function should be turned on or off. It is also possible to turn off or turn on the SAFE function and the flight mode using a free channel of the transmitter.

Advantages of the SAFE Select™ function:

• 
  
• It limits the maximum tilts of the model and thus prevents the model from going into a corkscrew.
  
• Automatically puts the model into horizontal flight when the transmitter control sticks are released
  
• Using a free channel, the SAFE system can be turned off or on during flight.
  

Recommended Spektrum transmitters

To pair the BNF version model, we recommend modern SPEKTRUM programmable transmitters:

• 
  
• 6-channel DX Spektrum DX6e DSMX series transmitter with telemetry, 250 models in memory .
  
• 6-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX6 DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  
• 8-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX8 DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  

Recommended batteries

To power the model, we recommend a 6-cell LiPol battery (22.2 V).

• 
  
• LiPol battery Spektrum Smart LiPo 22.2V 5000mAh 100C IC5 with technology Smart .
  
• LiPol battery Spektrum Smart G2 LiPo 22.2V 5000mAh 50C IC5 with Smart G2 technology
  
• LiPo battery with higher capacity Spektrum Smart LiPo 22.2V 7000mAh 30C IC5 with Smart technology
  
• For maximum performance and flight time LiPo battery Spektrum Smart G2 LiPo 22.2V 7000mAh 30C IC5 with Smart G2 technology
  

Spektrum batteries with Smart technology currently represent the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. The benefits of Spektrum Smart technology can be found here.

Recommended chargers for conventional and Smart batteries

If you decide to use modern Smart LiPo batteries in RC model airplanes, then we recommend the following chargers:

• 
  
• Network charger Spektrum S1100AC with one output 1x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S1400 with one output 1x 400W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2200 with two outputs 2x 200W .
  

Accessories for normal operation

For the normal operation of flying RC models, you need suitable adhesives, a set of tools and a storage case for LiPol batteries. From our assortment, we recommend a quality set of 1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0mm allen screwdrivers and Modelcraft Phillips screwdrivers (set of 6). Modelcraft mini pliers in a case (set) will certainly come in handy for assembly, and for cutting a Modelcraft cutting knife with an A6 pad.

For quick repair of model airplanes, we recommend the fast-curing 4-minute Epoxy glue. From our offer, we recommend Speed Epoxy 4 min. 71g

Protective covers for accumulators

Protective packaging is intended to limit the risk associated with the transport and charging of accumulators. LiPo accumulators, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, can provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity. The LiPo battery is particularly susceptible to mechanical damage and therefore needs to be thoroughly protected.
