FMS T28 - Quick assemble overview and some issues including a bad servo out of the box
I really like my big E-Flite 2 Meter T28, but it takes up a lot of transport space. So why not something a little smaller? After comparing the T28 E-Flite 1.2 and FMS 1.4 I ordered the FMS version. This video shows some of the assembly process and issues encountered. The only remotely serious problem was a defective servo that FMS is replacing.

The good:
Everything fit right up, no missing parts, no mismatches.
Eight wing servo leads are consolidated intro only two plug-ins!
Gear doors cover all struts and wheels
Finish quality is very good
Final product looks great, especially that scale prop
FMS service was excellent in taking care of an issue
The not-so-good:
A flaps servo was bad out of the box, FMS is sending a replacement
Foam hinges
Had to slightly modify the canopy to get a 3200 4S battery to fit
