Official Freewing T-33 Shooting Star 80mm EDF Thread

[rifleman_btx]

Testing EDF unit.

I bought me EFlite F4 II with FMS 80mm 12 blade, ( 3270 2000Kv )
So I was wondering difference between FW 80mm 9 blade ( 3658 1920Kv ) and FMS 80mm 12 blade.
So I used Phantom as test plane.
Results:

1. FMS EDF Unit Static trust: 2.25 Kg, Amp: 96.7A, Volts: 22.85
2. FW EDF Unit Static trust: 2.25 Kg, Amp: 108.1A, Volts: 22.83

Conclusion:

FW EDF Unit is consuming more current than the FMS EDF unit at full throttle testing static trust.
Also I had thought that less blades would use less amps

I will put FMS EDF Unit in my T33 and see how it will perform in flight compared to my FW EDF Unit.

Well the FMS EDF unit does not fit in T33 ore I have to make adjustment sadly.

That would probably be due to pitch differences? Or maybe the 9 blade is grabbing more air and the 12 blade is developing vacume pockets between blades allowing for alittle less load? Just some thoughts.. also if you have a 3d printer you can print a shorter ring to fit on the fms fan so you don't have to cut foam, I seen one on thingiverse. Just search for freewing.

F2, Do we get a sneak preview of the new livery? Best, LB

[Elbee]

I didn’t at all like the silver metallic, so I tried what was supposed to be metallic gray. So much for the T-bird scheme.

Definitely qualifies as "Cool". Aluminum Finish or a painted finish on the original livery? Looking forward to seeing your progress. Best, LB

F22, Ummm; something really , no doubt. Best, LB

Going this direction LB, without the tip tanks and with the Early round wing tips.

Say bye to the Liftwaffe version

And Brent's flight demo of his superb T-33 Shooting Star recently at St. George Utah 😎

Enjoy 😁!

First video of a two parter. In this one, Brent gives us a good walk around to discuss the various details and mods. He also tells a funny aviation tale, that involves the background of the model's subject matter 😉

Enjoy 😎!

How would i go about finding these additional canopy files to print ? I found the list of a handful of files just now , but i cant find the speed brakes or your mirror component set for the cockpit?
can i buy them somewhere? Thanks in advance!

DISREGARD I FOUND THEM!! SORRY!

[Knifeedge98]

Here are the final 3DP parts for the cockpit.
- Front panel coaming. I trimmed mine by 4mm in height.
- Canopy arch plus mirror and compass housing
- Canopy frame cross brace (located above rear coaming).

I found a nice file for a control stick and scaled it down:

Finally got to maiden my T33 today, what a sweet flying jet!
Handled the well cut grass at the field easily, and landed nicely with one stage of flap. 45% left in the Admiral 5000 pack with 3 minutes set on the throttle activated timer, so I reckon I can cautiously increase the flight time a little.
Very happy with this jet!

CN, Great repaint. Diggin' the extra attention you paid to the fuselage shaping and nozzle work. Nicely done. Best, LB

Finally finished the cockpit on the t33! Pretty happy with how the model turned out. Cant wait to fly it. My dad 3d printed all of the cockpit parts for me.
