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.

I contacted Motion to let them know and attached the pictures. They offered to send the plane back, but that's not something I prefer to do.

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.

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
Successful maiden in the books! Almost a non-event. Zero clicks of trim needed. First time that’s ever happened for me.

You get a acknowledgement as far as getting them shipped? I sent a request for a set but haven't heard back from them. I realize that they aren't here yet.
