Official Freewing T-33 Shooting Star 80mm EDF Thread

It was not my plane, I was the test pilot... If mine I would also do a rudder to motor differential mix.

On all of my twins (and twin twins, in the case of my HK B-17), I set them up with differential thrust. It does make the planes a lot more fun on the ground. The Bush Mule, which I keep on floats, is crazy fun to have both reversing motors and differential thrust on the water.

T-33 Owners, I ran across these USAF specification sheets in my stuff and thought it might be useful to all. Best, LB

Those spec charts are great! Now all you have to do is match the color number with the chart:

Flap wells and wheel wells (#16473) = Aircraft Gray

Landing gear (#17875) = Insignia white

Does anybody know what color silver is used for the base paint that I can use with my airbrush?

Has anyone done the duel light fixture for the front gear yet

Has anyone done the duel light fixture for the front gear yet

Yes, I‘ve prepared something.... But I will fit and try it first. Unfortunately there are still no T-Birds for us here in Europe...

MRC EU website says they will be shipping them out to us in late January, so that’s got to be next week I’m hoping.
This is the first time I’ve done a pre-order.

Has anyone been concerned about the long battery lead? Without additional capacitors it is hard on the ESC. I removed 8 inches of length and still had plenty to connect a battery all the way forward. I also removed 12 inches of length from the throttle connection.

While I was at the War Birds Over the Rockies, I did manage to get a few of the Full scale fly by's they made. Here is one of the T-33 with smoke on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjQyX0XRdHw They had a P-51, a British Sea Fury a Canadian all red T-33 and a C47 or DC-3. They all made some awesome fly by's about 100' out and 100' high over the RC field at 225 kph there in Golden Colo.

Hi. I have the red and silver that Home Depot did for me. I have NT tried any of them yet. Silver (?) 4-17-22 Red 32-45-207-147 I just took a picture of the tops of the jars. I will try to up load and attach it.

Some people have posted paint codes for the liveries. Bmccool posted the Air Force livery paint codes, but he still needs to test them. I posted (post #528 in this thread, and linked below) the Home Depot paint codes for the German camo. T-33. If you'd like, maybe it could be beneficial to update the first post (or the website or anywhere Motion is comfortable with) with the pictures of the various codes for each livery to make it easier to find instead of sifting through the thread. Maybe that can be possible on any thread when someone (or you) provides the paint codes.

Are they automatically shipping these out to all of the folks that bought into the pre-order? Because I remember discussion about these decals lacking but I thought there was also something we had to sign up for to receive them. But I never saw anything on their website about it...

I checked mine and found this, the servo wire resting directly on top of the very sharp screw point. No damage, but given enough time it could be very bad. A must check item
