Ahhhh I've been watching your flights on the Tube. Subbed to you the other day (RobisonRacing68 on YouTube) after our mutual friend (Erich Ische) sent me a link to your video when you had a dead stick. So thanks for doing the durability test. LOL! Really good flying sir :)

WOW!!!! Maiden +6 additional flights. CG set a little behind what the manual calls for. All else by the book. Only needed a few clicks of aileron and elevator trim. Tracked great on the ground with no trim added. Used Roaring top 5000 mAh 35c batteries. Did 4 minute flights at 60% throttle with with reserve left in the battery. Even at 60% throttle it moves around at a good pace. Take off and landing with flaps only needed a few clicks of elevator trim mixed in. Was thinking of doing a RCAF scheme but this thing looks so good that I changed my mind. Only mod I will do is the landing light. Really glad I purchased this jet. I know it will be one of my favorites. Great work on this one MotionRC.Comment

I knocked this little mod to the T-33 jet intakes tonight. It was pretty easy and only took about 20minuts. It took longer for the paint to dry than it did to build the intakes. I used the plastic piece that was glued inside the intake as a pattern and then cut the new ones out of some scrap balsa. Painted and CA'd into place.Comment

Great idea, I noticed those were missing right away. Much more scale this way.

Here you go (USAF aircraft, locations on GAF aircraft are different, see post #246 for different nomenclature)

Just noticed one downside to factory-applied decals. Note the emblem at the rear of the fuselage - the star is upside down!Comment

Well done!!!! I grew up 20 minutes east of Griffis in Utica/New Hartford. In 1972, my father was the president of the local RC club and one of the members was Col. Doug Brenner, who was commander of the 49th -- for some reason he invited my father to take a ride on one of their two T-33's. Understand, dad is a dentist/civilian (now retired). When he got to the base at the appointed hour, Col. Brenner discovered both T-33's were on a cross-country flight. At that point, he noticed their two-seat F-106B was available! So Dad got a back seat ride in the F-106B and they ran a dummy intercept of an F-111B out of Plattsburgh. I seem to recall Dad got to have the stick for a few minutes.Repainted in the colors of the 49th FIS, based at Griffiss AFB, circa 1980's. Painted in overall Aircraft Gray, 16473. Decals are home made. Colored decals are printed on white waterproof vinyl and cut out by hand. Black lettering is vinyl cut with a Silhouette vinyl cutter. I normally maiden my planes before I repaint them but the consensus on this one is that it's a pretty honest flyer so I decided to chance it on this one. It's so much easier to repaint the individual components
This was my exact same experience, and like you, I can't recall that ever happening before!Successful maiden in the books! Almost a non-event. Zero clicks of trim needed. First time that’s ever happened for me.Comment

Hopefully I can get TWO sets from motion when they ship out the ones for the bottom.....😀Comment

Oh NO! That would drive me bonkers. When they come out with parts, I should think they'll send you a set of decals so you can apply one over the original. Hopefully it won't show through in the white areas...Just noticed one downside to factory-applied decals. Note the emblem at the rear of the fuselage - the star is upside down!Comment

I have been wanting the T-33 BUT seeing all of these quality control issues I'm going to hold off and see if the second batch is any better.Comment

That is a good point. I'm going to hold off at least until spare parts are in stock.Comment
