Whether you are repairing a damaged component or upgrading your airframe, this strut wire assembly ensures your RC plane continues to perform at its best. As a trusted UK RC retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine E-flite parts to keep your aircraft flying safely and reliably.
The strut wires are critical components in the Carbon-Z T-28's wing bracing system, providing essential structural support and aerodynamic stability during flight. The inclusion of the NG steering arm and associated hardware means this is a complete solution for steering linkage repairs or replacements. The Carbon-Z T-28 remains one of the most popular large-scale RC military trainer aircraft available in the UK RC hobby market, and maintaining it with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts ensures compatibility and performance integrity.
For RC pilots flying the Carbon-Z T-28 2.0m BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select, or the Carbon-Z T-28 Trojan variants, this component represents a critical investment in keeping your aircraft airworthy. Whether you fly from UK airfields, local flying clubs, or private land, having access to genuine spares ensures you can complete repairs quickly and return to the skies with confidence in your aircraft's structural integrity and handling characteristics.
Key Features
- NG Steering Arm Included — This advanced steering arm design provides precise control input transmission to the aircraft's nose wheel steering system, ensuring responsive and accurate ground handling during taxiing operations and directional control during takeoff and landing phases of flight.
- Complete Hardware Kit — The assembly includes all necessary fasteners, connectors and mounting hardware needed for installation, eliminating the need to source additional components from multiple suppliers and saving you time on repairs and maintenance tasks.
- Genuine E-flite OEM Component — Manufactured to original equipment manufacturer specifications, this part guarantees perfect fitment and performance characteristics that match the original airframe design, ensuring your Carbon-Z T-28 maintains its intended flight characteristics and structural reliability.
- Compatible with Multiple T-28 Variants — This strut wire assembly is designed to work with both the Carbon-Z T-28 2.0m BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select variant and the Carbon-Z T-28 Trojan models (both BNF Basic and PNP versions), providing broad compatibility across the T-28 product range.
- Durable Construction — The strut wires are engineered to withstand the structural stresses experienced during normal flight operations, including the aerodynamic loads placed on the wing bracing system during manoeuvres, dives and recovery movements typical of aerobatic RC flying.
- Professional-Grade Reliability — These components meet the same quality standards as the original airframe assembly, ensuring long-service life and dependable performance whether you are a recreational flyer or engage in more demanding aerobatic flying with your Carbon-Z T-28.
Technical Performance
The strut wire assembly has been engineered using materials and construction methods consistent with E-flite's reputation for building robust, long-lasting RC aircraft components. The strut wires provide critical lateral and longitudinal bracing for the aircraft's wing structure, working in conjunction with the fuselage to create a rigid, stable airframe. The inclusion of the NG steering arm ensures that ground handling and nose wheel control remain responsive and precise, essential for safe taxiing operations. The hardware included in this kit comprises stainless steel fasteners and precision-engineered connectors designed to maintain their integrity across repeated assembly and disassembly cycles, whether performed for maintenance, repair or seasonal storage. The steering arm itself features an advanced geometry that optimises the mechanical advantage of the control linkage, translating control input from the receiver-connected servo into smooth, predictable nose wheel movement. This component is specifically engineered for the Carbon-Z T-28 airframe dimensions and control system architecture, ensuring seamless integration without requiring modifications or adaptations.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Carbon-Z T-28 models is this strut wire assembly compatible with? — This component is designed for the Carbon-Z T-28 2.0m BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select, the Carbon-Z T-28 Trojan 2.0m BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select, and the Carbon-Z T-28 Trojan 2.0m PNP variant. Always check your aircraft's manual and model number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- Is this a straightforward replacement part for beginners? — Whilst this is a genuine OEM part designed for direct replacement, installation requires basic mechanical aptitude and familiarity with aircraft assembly procedures. If you are new to RC aircraft repairs, we recommend reviewing your aircraft's manual or seeking guidance from experienced RC pilots at your local flying club before attempting installation.
- What happens if these strut wires become damaged? — Damaged strut wires compromise the structural integrity of your aircraft's wing bracing system and can lead to instability in flight, reduced control authority and potential safety hazards. Prompt replacement with this genuine E-flite component ensures your aircraft returns to its original design specifications and flight characteristics.
- How do I know if I need to replace my strut wires? — Visible bending, cracking, corrosion or looseness in the strut wire assembly indicates replacement is needed. If you experience unusual wing flutter, handling changes or notice visible damage during pre-flight inspection, replacement should be a priority before flying.
- Can I buy this part separately or do I need to purchase a complete airframe kit? — This component is available as a standalone replacement part, allowing you to repair or upgrade your existing Carbon-Z T-28 aircraft without purchasing a complete new kit. This approach is both economical and environmentally responsible for RC enthusiasts who wish to maintain and extend the service life of their existing aircraft.
