Owned and demolished two T-28s after flying them hundreds of times. To me they are simply fun flying planes and make excellent grab and go models. Can't remember what happened to number one but number two crashed into a chain link fence and was demolished beyond repair. So I started searching for number three. Found several on FB and being a cheap bastid I passed on them because they were over $100 or over two hours away. A flying buddy linked me to one that the guy was asking $80 for that was less than 30 minutes away so I contacted the owner and cut a deal. Picked it up last night. The thing looks good from a distance but I'm happy that it cost $60 and the guy threw in a spectrum receiver. Planning to bind it to my transmitter today and do some T-28 flying this evening.

Hey Don,
I am pretty sure you are talking about the ParkZone T-28 & T-28D Trojans with 44-inch wing span (presently Horizon Hobby references them as 1.1m wing span).
If so, I am trying to rid of some from my fleet.
I have at least one that I like to let go but, it needs some adjustments so, it can fly good.
I can provide pictures as it does have retracts.
Carlos

Thank you Carlos but I was able to find one of the Horizon fixed landing gear T-28's. The prior owner had lost the canopy and made a new one that actually looks good. The difference between this one and the other two is that the thing floats forever when landing instead of slowing down. I posted a few photos of it over on the WF FB page. The white one is this photo is mine.
