- Durable Construction — Built using quality materials consistent with FMS Hobby's manufacturing standards, this stabiliser is designed to withstand the stresses of regular flying operations and maintain its aerodynamic profile over extended use.
- Easy Installation — As a direct OEM replacement part, installation requires no modifications, special tools, or extensive adjustments; simply attach to your fuselage using the designed mounting points and you are ready to fly.
- V2 Design — This is the latest V2 version incorporating refinements and improvements over previous iterations, benefiting from pilot feedback and performance data gathered from the RC flying community.
Technical Performance
The FMS 800MM T28 Trojan Horizontal Stabiliser represents precision aircraft component engineering, with every dimension and contour calculated to deliver optimal aerodynamic performance. The 800mm measurement refers to the spanwise dimension of the stabiliser, which works in conjunction with the elevator surface to control the aircraft's pitch attitude and maintain stable flight along the lateral axis. As a horizontal stabiliser, this component generates downward or upward aerodynamic forces in response to elevator deflection, directly controlling whether the aircraft's nose pitches up or down. The design incorporates proper airfoil shaping, structural integrity and mounting provisions that ensure consistent performance whether you are flying at slow cruise speeds or pushing the aircraft through high-speed aerobatic manoeuvres. FMS Hobby's reputation in the RC aircraft market rests on meticulous attention to aerodynamic detail and structural reliability; this stabiliser reflects those exacting standards. The component is crafted from materials selected for their combination of strength and light weight, critical factors in aircraft design where every gram affects performance and handling. Whether your T-28 is powered by electric motors or traditional glow engines, this stabiliser provides the stable platform necessary for confident, enjoyable flying. The horizontal stabiliser is one of the most critical aerodynamic surfaces on any RC aircraft, and this genuine FMS component ensures your T-28 Trojan performs exactly as designed by the manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this the correct stabiliser for my FMS T-28 Trojan RC aircraft? — Yes, this is the genuine OEM horizontal stabiliser designed specifically for the FMS T-28 Trojan platform. The model number FMSPA103RED-1 confirms this is the correct part for your aircraft. Always verify your aircraft model before purchasing replacement parts to ensure compatibility.
- What is the difference between the V2 and earlier versions of this stabiliser? — The V2 designation indicates this is the latest version incorporating design refinements and improvements based on extensive flight testing and pilot feedback. FMS Hobby continuously develops and improves their products; the V2 version benefits from this ongoing development process and represents the current best version available.
- Do I need any special tools or skills to install this stabiliser? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC aircraft building experience. This is a direct OEM replacement part designed to mount to the fuselage using the factory mounting points. No modifications or special tools are required; simply attach it securely and ensure your control linkages are properly connected and adjusted before flying.
- What is the importance of the horizontal stabiliser on an RC aircraft? — The horizontal stabiliser is one of the most critical aerodynamic components on any aircraft, RC or full-scale. It provides pitch stability, allowing the aircraft to naturally return to level flight if disturbed, and works in conjunction with the elevator surface to control pitch attitude. A properly designed and installed stabiliser is essential for safe, predictable, enjoyable flying.
- Can I use this stabiliser on other aircraft models? — This stabiliser is specifically designed and dimensioned for the FMS T-28 Trojan. Using it on other aircraft models is not recommended as the aerodynamic characteristics and handling would be compromised. Always use parts specified for your particular aircraft model.
- How do I know if my stabiliser needs replacing? — Signs that you may need a replacement stabiliser include visible damage from crashes or rough landings, warping or deformation of the surface, degradation of the mounting points, or changes in flight behaviour such as instability or unpredictable pitch response. If you suspect any damage, inspect the stabiliser carefully or consult with experienced RC pilots at your local flying club.
- Where can I buy this stabiliser in the UK? — The FMS 800MM T28 Trojan Horizontal Stabiliser is available from RC Model Shop, your trusted UK RC retailer specialising in aircraft parts and components from leading manufacturers.
