However alot of parts had to be removed to get everything in there. That's my pain with big planes. But yes it can be done

I have a feeling Foil will be available several months before the HSD T-33 even goes into production.
MRC was nice enough to announce the A-4 on my birthday last year. Was hoping this year Foil would be announced for my birthday. But alas, it was not to be. But I'll still take a belated birthday present (hint, hint)! ;)Pat

It will be on my birthday. Aug 18. ;) :) get'er done!
as for dropping the seats, not gonna happen, this car I got when I returned from Germany. It has 2 10" subs in the back, from my younger days. Also my personal memorial to some of my lost buddies who them and I use to put these things in cars for soldiers to get extra money. So taking them out also isn't an option.

I'd have to go with a VAQ-129 scheme, or an imaginary "never" happened Q-3 Moondog paint job. We be jammin!

If foil is a T-33 well, Meh. Wont be a must have for me. Pretty planes, just were never particularly good planes in my opinion. We had one based at the airport where I grew up. They never really had enough power, but were very nice to watch fly around. We actually had a an operational Vampire Jet there too. Same basic thing low on power, but looked great in a dive. Jets weren't really that good in that era. In my opinion the first real jet was an F-86. To be frank, your basic 60's model Lear Jet would literally fly rings around either of these jets.

Hooah! That it is. It will be interesting to see what is actually gonna become of this project. I thrive on history and in a very small way being it back to life. The coolest thing to me is not just the flying, but when one of my friends at the field who is a Korean war veteran, enjoys when I fly the tigercat as well as the corsair. He then tells me how he remembers those corsairs cutting through the valleys dropping neipolm and ripping out of there as quickly as they came. It's those kind of things all the money in the world cannot buy, and I do feel blessed to bring back the happy times for him. As he seen many more not so happy times for sure.

Imagine not wanting to fly a model of a WW1 fighter because back then they didn’t have a throttle, just an on- off switch! Even the VIetnam era jets, like an A-7 Corsair II, required the entire runway and then fly for a mile in ground effect if carrying ordnance. Tech speaking by today’s standards they were all dogs but as r/c aircraft I love them all! I want them all!
