Step 7
Range Checking your Radio System
After you have finished the final assembly, it is
time to range check the radio system within the
T-28D Trojan BNF.
Prior to each flying session
• Turn on the transmitter prior to plugging in the flight
battery. With the airplane on the ground and motor
running, you should walk away approximately 100
feet and still have full control of all functions while
following the specific range test feature of your
DSM2 transmitter.
If this is not the case, do not
fly!
Call Product Support at 1-877-504-0233.
• Always make sure that all controls are functioning per
the transmitter input that you are giving. This includes
ailerons, rudder, elevator and throttle.
• Always make sure you have fully charged the
transmitter batteries.
•
Always remove the flight battery from the
airplane when you are done flying, or when you
are on the way to the flying field.
Flying
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your
ParkZone T-28D Trojan BNF. It is ideal for you to fly at
an AMA sanctioned flying field. 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 schoolyards. Always follow
local ordinances. We recommend only flying your Trojan in
light winds.
Prior to each flight
• Always make sure your T-28D Trojan BNF is properly
trimmed.
• 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.
• Always verify the dual rates switch is set at where
you plan on flying. We recommend LOW rates for
your initial flying. The T-28D Trojan BNF 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-28D 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.

Step 8
Control Direction Test
1. Move the elevator stick on the transmitter forward
and aft to check elevator pitch control. When
the stick is pushed forward, the elevator should
move down.
2. When the elevator stick is moved aft the elevator
should move up.
3. Move the aileron stick left and right to check aileron
roll control. When the stick is pushed to the left,
the left aileron should move up and the right aileron
should move down.
4. With the aileron stick pushed right, the right
aileron should move up and the left aileron should
move down.
5. Move the rudder stick left and right to check yaw
control. When the stick is pushed to the right the
rudder should also move to the right (if viewed from
behind the airplane).
6. With the rudder stick pushed to the left, the
rudder should move to the left (if viewed from behind
the airplane).
If at any time during the test the controls respond in
the opposite direction, it may be necessary to reverse/
change the direction of operation of the flight controls.
Follow your transmitter instructions to change the
direction of the various flight controls.
