EN9T-28 Trojan S Installing the Flight BatteryYour T-28 Trojan S RTF transmitter comes pre-bound to the aircraft, so binding should not be necessary. Keep the aircraft and transmitter away from large metal objects, wireless sources or other transmitters while installing the battery.CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po ﬂ ight battery from the aircraft receiver when not ﬂ ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential ﬁ re when batteries are charged.CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.5Sec.Place aircraft on its landing gear. Keep immobile and out of the wind for 5 seconds.1.2.For a list of compatible DSM2/DSMX transmitters, visit www.bindnﬂ y.com. Binding®1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver.2. Make sure the ﬂ ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.3. Ensure the transmitter is powered OFF.4. Connect the ﬂ ight battery to the aircraft and turn the aircraft upright. The receiver LED will begin to ﬂ ash (typically after 5 seconds).5. Make sure the transmitter controls are at neutral and the throttle is in the low position.6. Put your transmitter into bind mode.7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid, indicating that the receiver is bound to the transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the end of the manual.8. Disconnect the ﬂ ight battery and power the transmitter off.For subsequent ﬂ ights, power ON the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the ﬂ ight battery.Binding Procedure231430–32mm30–32mmAdjusting the Center of Gravity (CG)The CG location is 30–32mm back from leading edge of the wing at the root. The battery cavity is oversized to allow for center of gravity adjustment. Start by placing the battery at the front of the cavity, and adjust as necessary.

EN11T-28 Trojan S SAFE® Control Direction TestPerform the Control Direction Test to ensure the aircraft responds correctly to your transmitter. Once you are sure the aircraft responds correctly, move the aircraft as shown to ensure the SAFE system moves the control surfaces in their proper direction. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not ﬂ y the aircraft. Contact Horizon Hobby Product Support.The SAFE system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the ﬁ rst time after the ﬂ ight battery is connected. Once the SAFE is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal. SAFE will remain active until the battery is disconnected.Aircraft movement SAFE ReactionElevatorAileronRudderFlyingIn Beginner mode, when properly trimmed, your aircraft will climb at full throttle without use of the elevator stick.• Set a ﬂ ight timer for 5 minutes.• Flying with the nose pointed toward you is one of the hardest things to do when learning to ﬂ y.

ENT-28 Trojan S 13Wind 0–5 mph (0–8 km/h)CAUTION: Never catch a ﬂ ying aircraft in your hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and damage to the aircraft.45MIN.11 ft (30 cm)USB Li-PoChargerEFLC1008SOLID RED LED–ChargingDC Input:5.0V 350mADC Output:4.2V 300mALED OFF–Charge CompleteWhen a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The aircraft’s ESC protects the ﬂ ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to the motor. Power to the motor quickly decreases and increases, showing that some battery power is reserved for ﬂ ight control and safe landing.When the motor power pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the ﬂ ight battery.Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Fully charge your Li-Po battery before storing it. During storage, make sure battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.For your ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 4 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter ﬂ ights once you have ﬂ own the model. Flights of 6 minutes or more are achievable if using proper throttle management.NOTICE: Repeated ﬂ ying to LVC will damage the battery. Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)After Flying1. Lower the throttle stick completely and do not move the steering stick. Wait at least 5 seconds. 2. Disconnect and remove the battery from the aircraft. Keep hands away from the propeller.3. Power off the transmitter.4. Fully charge the aircraft battery.5. Remove the battery after charging is complete.NOTICE: When you are ﬁ nished ﬂ ying, never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.NOTICE: Always disconnect the battery from the aircraft before powering off the transmitter or injury and damage may result.RepairsRepair this aircraft using foam-compatible CA(cyanoacrylate adhesive) glue or clear tape. Only use foam-compatible CA glue as other types of glue can damage the foam. When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by item number.For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to the list at the back of this manual.NOTICE: Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the aircraft until the accelerant fully dries.LandingReduce the airspeed on the landing approach by lowering the throttle to 25%. Fly to the runway, keeping the aircraft pointed into the wind and the wings level. Approximately 1 foot (30cm) from the ground, fully lower the throttle and gently pull back on the Elevator stick to bleed off airspeed and ﬂ are for landing.
