Have now witnessed 4 T-33's at our field. All flew great. But 3 out 4 had LG(Mains) fall out on landing. Poor glue job in China. Nevertheless, I bit the bullet and order the German version. Arrives Friday. Maiden on Sunday.
With the coronavirus still looming and no end in sight, getting shipments out of China is going to be difficult for a while. Of course this crisis applies to just about anything. The Chinese Supply Chain is a mess.
I saw the new HSD T-33 this week. The first one in the US. Still in final testing, Wow ! She's a beaute. 120mm EDF. 15#'s thrust. Again, Wow ! Same airframe as their turbine version. Makes the Freewing look pale in comparison but it's also 3X the cost. A completely different category. Hopefully, Andy from RCjetwerx will bring it to Jet Jam in June for all to see.
Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39
Out of Service: 80mm Mig-21,64mm F-35, 64mm F/A-18
I Want: 80mm A-4, twin 80mm F4J Phantom

I wish HSD the best and hope they continue to improve upon their aircraft, design new aircraft, and provide a better service now with their new US partnership. I own their Super Viper and in some ways I like their engineering, while in other ways I don't like it at all. I may own another HSD product in the future, but I'm not sure. I don't think I'm impressed enough with their current products that it would make me excited to immediately purchase another. We have a lot of HSD products that have flown at our field, EDF and turbine, and it's allowed me to base an opinion on variety of their aircraft. Maybe they'll release something that will blow my socks off, who knows.

It sounds like they are starting to improve various aspects like the power system in the PNP's, parts availability, etc., so we'll see how it goes in the future.
