Not my project but as Mr Dowbekin does not really get on with computers he has tasked me with putting this on the website.
About 3 years ago Harold decided to build a large T 28 Trojan. He initially purchased a 1400mm FMS T28 and was impressed with its flying characteristics so he had a plan enlarged somewhat and embarked on yet another epic build to a scale of 1 to 3.6 giving a wingapan of around 3.6 metres or 12 foot in old money. He initially decided to power the plane with a flat four 160cc 3w engine but part way through he was smitten with the Evolution 260cc beast of a radial engine, so thats what he obtained and I agree it looks a lot better. As his pit bitches I and Steve Stuttard have been helping him along with various aspects of the build. The airframe is more or less complete with a few more pieces of glass skin to be fitted and radio/fuel systems to be installed. The undercarriage is custom engineered electric retracts designed and built by Harold and are more than strong enough to support the plane. Initial weight should be around 30kgs without fuel so with the massive wing area it should hopefully be a pussycat to fly. Shouldnt be too long before its in primer and ready for test flying. Should look and sound fantastic alongside Corsairs and Sea Fury's at the shows.
