ziggyfoos Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Not sure if this was already mentioned. I just saw on SB that Aires released a speed brake set and Quickboost exhaust set and also new prop (labeled as propeller "A"). Wonder if more sets coming? Still waiting for OV-10 and A-6 upgrades. ........ kalashnikov-47 and phantom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for OV-10 and A-6 upgrades. ........ Is this the same as the "A" prop? (the one on the top, the kit is on the bottom) I did it a few months ago, but theirs looks a bit thinner than mine.

ziggyfoos Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Not sure, I assume it's the supposed to be the same prop? I don't know what they're referring to with the "A" label since it's obviously not meaning the T-28A. I know the T-28C prop was different, how many versions of props were used on the T-28B/D variants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otis252 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Since we're talking aftermarket, what about the engine. Would one of the Eduard B-17 engines work for a T-28? Thanks. Chuck Edited May 26, 2017 by otis252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrbrdmech Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The Aires/Quickboost "A" prop is a bit misleading. It's like a replacement prop for the civilian/warbird A models that use the 3 blade prop. To my knowledge, you don't see those blades on a B or C model T-28. Those are not the blades you made Harold. Your blades are the closet thing you'll find to a true B model 3 Blade prop. The kit comes with the A model 3 blade and the C model short wide 3 blade props. So far Harold has the only B model blades available.

Chuck Chuck I think the Eduard B-17 engine will work. I have the set of 4 for the B-17 and plan to use one on my T-28 build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrbrdmech Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Thanks Shane. When Harold made the props, I immediately used a set on my D-5 and they look perfect, in my eye. Yes Ernie, Harold's prop is correct for the B/D. I have one for my B build. Nice that quick boost released a prop but it's about as useful as the "A" prop that Kittyhawk put in their kit which is useless. I wonder if they will release a "B" or "C" prop.

MikeMaben Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I wonder (hope) if they will release an A. Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billi Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Don't forget to add Steve's AOA decal sheet 32-015 to the T-28 AM 'to-buy' list. Just got mine and it looks great. Cheers Bill Inglee Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
