The Perfect Scale Micro RC Plane for Beginners

The North American T-28 Trojan was a military trainer aircraft introduced in the 1950s, used by the U.S. Air Force and Navy to prepare pilots for jet-powered flight. Known for its durability, handling, and versatility, it even served in combat roles during conflicts like the Vietnam War. Its iconic radial-engine and tricycle landing gear made it a recognizable and beloved aircraft for generations of pilots.

Meet the FMS 410mm T-28 Trojan—a compact, beginner-friendly RC plane inspired by the legendary North American trainer aircraft. Designed with first-time pilots in mind, it blends classic scale looks with modern tech to make learning to fly smooth, fun, and frustration-free. With a powerful 1020 motor, tricycle landing gear, and lightweight yet tough EPP foam construction, this Ready-to-Fly (RTF) aircraft includes everything you need right out of the box—plus a multi-mode gyro, heading-hold-return feature, and one-key stunts for confidence-boosting flights every time.

Notes to Buyers

1. RTF (Ready to Fly) airplanes come with everything you need to fly in the box. A transmitter, receiver, battery, charger, and all other required electronics are included and pre-installed from the factory.
2. PNP (Plug-and-Play) airplanes include the ESC, motor, and servos all pre-installed from the factory. A transmitter, receiver, battery, and charger are not included.
3. EPP foam can bubble or deform in high heat. To prevent this, avoid leaving them in direct sunlight when not in use.
4. To ensure the heading-hold-return function works properly, please set it before takeoff. Once the aircraft is in the air, the feature cannot be activated.
5. The RC airplane is perfect for teens aged 12 and up, and for kids under 12 with parental supervision.
