Micro Trojan T-28 by Parkzone

August 30th, 2010

The larger version has been such a great hit, Parkzone decided to create a smaller Micro Version

New Micro Trojan T-28

This exciting Ultra Micro Series edition of ParkZone’s wildly popular T-28 Trojan is a must have for any intermediate to experienced pilot. Like the original, it has plenty of performance for sport aerobatics but remains a joy to fly at slower speeds if you want to throttle back and shoot touch and gos. And, like the original, it boasts remarkably scale lines and a great looking U.S. Navy trim scheme. Best of all, this one is small enough to fl­y in your backyard.
