Skynetic T-33 Shooting Star Micro 30mm EDF Jet with Gyro - FTR from Skynetic - SKY1075-002
The T-33 Shooting Star is the aircraft that taught the world to fly jets. Developed from Lockheed's P-80 fighter and first flown in 1948, the T-33 went on to become the most widely used jet trainer in history — more than 6,500 built, flown by roughly 25 air forces, and still in service as recently as 2017. Its clean lines, wingtip tanks, and tandem canopy remain instantly recognizable more than 75 years later.
The Skynetic T-33 Shooting Star Micro 30mm EDF Jet shrinks that shape down to a 500mm (19.7 in) wingspan without losing what makes it recognizable. Crisp surface detail and authentic U.S. Air Force markings give this micro jet real presence for something you can launch from your hand.
Power comes from a 30mm 12-blade EDF spinning on a 1108-6800Kv brushless motor and 4S LiPo, delivering smooth thrust and surprising speed for its size. A 3-mode gyro (Beginner, Intermediate, Expert) shapes how that performance shows up in your hands: Beginner keeps things stable and self-leveling, Intermediate opens up more control while still smoothing things out, and Expert hands over full manual authority for pilots who want to fly it like they mean it. Beginner and Intermediate modes also unlock a one-key aerobatics button, for an instant, clean automatic roll or loop at the press of a switch.
This Futaba Transmitter Ready (FTR) version ships with an S-FHSS compatible SBUS satellite receiver ready to plug into the main control board and bind. Power on a compatible Futaba transmitter, connect the flight battery, and follow the binding steps in the manual. The 300mAh 4S flight battery and charger are included — only a compatible transmitter is required.

Unbox, Bind, Fly This FTR jet ships with the aircraft, SBUS-compatible receiver, battery, and charger all in one box. Bind the receiver to your Futaba S-FHSS-compatible transmitter, charge up, and you're airborne. |
 |
Three Modes. One Incredible Jet. Beginner locks in stability, Intermediate opens up greater maneuverability, and Expert hands over full manual control, no limits, all from one switch. Beginner and Intermediate also unlock one-key aerobatics: press the button, move a stick, and watch it snap off a clean roll or loop on its own. |

Flying with the 78th This micro jet wears the authentic scheme of T-33A serial 53-4892, flown by the 78th Fighter Interceptor Wing out of Hamilton AFB, California, in 1957 — right down to the "TR-892" tail code and unit markings. It's a slice of real Air Defense Command history, scaled down to fly in your own backyard. |
 |
Small Jet, Real Thrust The 30mm 12-blade EDF and 6800Kv motor at the heart of this micro jet are matched to the airframe for maximum punch. On 4S power, this thing pulls like something twice its size. |
 |
Ready However You Fly It Hand-launch it with a confident toss, or install the removable landing gear and use the steerable nose wheel to taxi and take off from a smooth surface. Either way, it is airborne in seconds. |

A Classic Jet In A Micro Size The T-33 Shooting Star has one of the most recognizable silhouettes in jet aviation, and this micro jet captures that presence faithfully — clean tapered wings, wingtip tanks, and the tandem canopy that defines the Shooting Star, all scaled down to 500mm without losing an inch of identity. |
- Authentic T-33 Shooting Star design captured in a compact 500mm (19.7 in) wingspan micro scale
- Powerful 30mm 12-blade EDF and 1108-6800Kv brushless motor on 4S deliver true jet thrust and speed in a micro-scale package
- Three-mode gyro (Beginner, Intermediate, Expert) sharpens control at every skill level, from confidence-building assisted flight to full manual aerobatic authority

This model is designed to operate using the included ESC and its integrated BEC, which is specifically matched to the onboard electronics. To ensure reliable performance and prevent damage, always power the aircraft's receiver and electronics through the installed ESC using the main flight battery. Do not use any power source other than the main flight battery to power the model, otherwise damage will occur to the electronics.
The receiver, servos, and other onboard electronics included with this model are rated for a maximum input voltage of 5.5V. When selecting your ESC and power system, verify that the BEC output supplied to the receiver and onboard electronics does not exceed 5.5V. Using a higher voltage will damage the aircraft's electronics. Product Specifications:
