Range Test
You will need two people to perform the range test: one
to hold the plane and the other to give the transmitter
input.
Warning: The person holding the plane should hold it
in such a way that the propeller does not come into
contact with any part of their clothing or body.
1. One person holds the transmitter, while the other
person walks 100 paces away with the airplane.
2. Be sure the left gimbal (stick) is in the full down
position.
3. Extend the transmitter antenna completely and turn
the transmitter on.
4. Plug the airplane battery into the speed control.
5. As soon as the throttle stick is advanced, the
propeller should spin quickly.
6. As the first person moves the transmitter controls,
the other person watches to be sure the airplane’s
motor and tail controls operate smoothly.
Programming:
The E-flite 25-amp programming sequence is designed
to be very simple and intuitive. It is a simple menu
system that should be very easy to learn and remember.
Stick Up = Full Throttle
Stick Down = Idle
Default Setup for E-flite 25-amp ESC:
• 3S auto-cutoff
• Brake inactive
• 4-pole and greater timing
• Auto setting throttle input range
Programming Mode:
1. With the battery disconnected from the controller,
and the transmitter turned on, first move the
throttle stick to the full power position. Leave it in
this position and then connect the battery to the
controller.
2. Wait for 5 seconds, and the ESC will give two
sets of fast ringing tones to indicate you have
successfully entered the programming mode.
3. Once you hear these tones, move the stick
to center, and the controller will beep 1 time,
indicating you are at menu item number 1.
4. The controller will now wait 5 seconds for you to
make your selection, move the stick to Full Throttle
for “Yes,” or to Idle for “No.”
5. When you have made a valid selection, the control
will beep once with a lower tone and then you can
move the stick back to center for the next menu
item (2 beeps, 3 beeps and so on). If you do not
make a selection within 5 seconds, the controller
will move to the next menu item.
6. Please note that you do not need to program every
menu item. You can simply exit the programming
mode after you have made the required selections
by:
a. Moving the throttle stick to idle, after making
your selection.
b. Leaving it in the idle position for approximately
8 seconds (if you made no selection), until you
hear one set of 3 medium length rising tones that
indicate the controller has armed the motor.
c. Simply unplugging the battery.

Flying
VERY IMPORTANT
The 4-channel control system is designed for the
experienced radio control pilot and is not intended
for the first-time flyer. If you have flown airplanes with
aileron controls, such as the HobbyZone ® Aerobird
Swift ™ , then you should be ready for the ParkZone T-28
Trojan. However, first-time pilots of this plane should
seek the assistance of an experienced RC flyer.
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your
ParkZone T-28 Trojan. It is ideal for you to fly at AMA
sanctioned flying fields. If you are not flying at an AMA
approved site, always avoid flying near houses, trees,
wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid
flying in areas where there are many people, such as
busy parks or school yards. Always follow local
ordinances.
Prior to each flight:
• Always make sure your T-28 Trojan is properly
trimmed. From time to time, it may be necessary to
re-trim your airplane. Simply turn the radio system
On (along with flight battery) and check all control
surfaces. Most trim changes should be able to be
made by using the trim levers on the transmitter.
Greater changes will need to be made by removing
the clevis from the control horn and turning it on
the pushrod in the appropriate direction.
• Always make sure the receiver, ESC, and battery
are properly secured.
• Always verify the propeller is on securely.
• Always ensure the servo reversing switches on the
transmitter are set correctly.
• Verify propeller is fitted in correct direction and is
attached securely.
• Always verify the dual rates switch is set at where
you plan on flying. We recommend LOW rates
for your initial flying. The T-28 Trojan is VERY
maneuverable on high rates and requires a lot of
experience to handle properly.
Center of Gravity Location:
• The center of gravity on your T-28 Trojan should be
located approximately 2-1/2” behind the leading
edge of the wing, when measured against the
fuselage. This CG location has been determined
with the ParkZone 1800mAh 11.1V Li-Po
battery installed.
