Official Freewing T-33 Shooting Star 80mm EDF Thread

[davecee]

davecee The Pre-Order is now live! The first batch arrives to the States in about a week from now, and to the EU about a week after that, so.... Surprise, surprise, many of you will be flying this bird before the end of the month. Merry January!

After the typical ~8 week pre-order interval of the AL37 and F-18, we wanted to change it up with a quickfire release for this T-33, same as we did with the Skynetic Havok and Shrike, and FlightLine P-51 and Fw-190D.9 Dora.

Sweeet! Just ordered the Black Knights livery. I feel that this is the way to do it, short pre-order interval.

I couldn’t decide which one so I ordered both. Great job MRC.

Temptation got the best of me,hit the preorder button.

They’re claiming it flies like the Venom. If that’s the case then it should be great. I have the Venom and it’s my best flying 90mm. So much fun. Great power to weight ratio and comes down easy on the batteries.

Preordered!

I'm hoping the power to weight ratio on this jet is good.

Preordered!

Agreed .

[TBolt]

NICE!

[Quickstop]

Navy T-33 with drop tanks instead of tip tanks, and you can easily see the 33 inch section added into the fuselage in the bare finish.

Absolutely! Alpha was on this project. There's no way that it was dialed in wrong. With a 1920kv, it's gonna get atmospheric in a hurry!...

[GBLynden]

I rarely pre-order this quick, but I have been wanting a T-33 for years after watching one go every other year at the Abbotsford Airshow!

You have me excited Alpha!

[T-CAT]

The 9 blade fan 80mm EDF with an inrunner motor has been a large request from me and many others for a long time. It's really nice to see this on the market. Just throwing this out there too, but.....Alpha, I'd also like to see the same power system with a 8S 80mm set up offered by Freewing and Motion as an aftermarket upgrade for aircraft that withstand the battery size and weight. That would likely satisfy those who like to modify things further, but who usually go for other 9-11 blade aftermarket fans, and provide a reason to try the Freewing 9 blades instead.

[GBLynden]

That's a happy man right there! Love it Andrew!

That position makes it look like your "Bat Wing" James or was that your subtle hint earlier?

[fastphil]

The T-33 is a classic jet I've wanted for quite so time, and i'm happy to be able to order this one with all the latest RC gear and design from Freewing...I chose the US version, and am hoping to receive it before all our SW fly-ins start..!

[Hardway]

Luftwaffe version ordered! Thank you All

[Phantom]

U.S. version ordered, another jet scratched off my list!

[e4dragongunner]

Great work Motion RC Team, now when can I order?

Stoked!! Just asking.... where are the production flying vids? Sorry if I missed an answer to this question if it was posted earlier.

[MOFO1]

It's all fun and games til the pliers come out, pulling my gold tooth to finance this one. Been waiting for this jet. A Canadian AF or Mexican AF scheme in the future for this jet.

Flying vids should come next week. I only got the jet last Friday and once I told everyone I'd go live with an announcement, an irrational fear came over me that something would happen to it, or someone would leak a picture. Going out this weekend for sure and Alpha is also filming some flights today (his time is tomorrow already). Plenty to come next week.

Actually, got a beater L-39 now that is getting a Batwing makeover ;)

[Sekhet]

I pulled the trigger on both liveries.

The better-half caught me just as I hit the enter button.

BH: What did you just order?
Me: A t-33 trainer.
BH: Don't you already have one that you just put a new JetCat in?
Me: Yes, but I wanted an EDF to play around with.
BH: Don't you have an electric T-33 as well?
Me: Yes, but I wanted one that is small enough to fly in the field behind the house.
BH: Well, you can just sleep in the dog house then.
Me: I guess I should tell you I ordered two, one for you and one for me!
BH: Hump... OK,... you don't have to sleep with the dog, you're on the couch! Come on Fido, it's bed time.

Thank the Lord she likes airplanes
