Hum, think we should have gotten those with the plane.

I used some clear lenses/mounts where these high power 1w leds fit in perfectly, as you can see it gave good results and I could install them without showing or damaging the foam."

Very cool, I'm planing on do something similar. Can you give us a source for the LEDS and the lens covers? Also, what flashing unit are you using?
thanks for any info.
I bought my lens covers here https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32820431045.html but you should be able to find similar ones on Amazon or eBay.
I didn't use a flashing unit, all leds are connected to the various light ports on the bluebox (steady lights for the wingtips, double flash for the white beacon on top and triple flash for the red beacon below).
Good thing that Freewing includes these blueboxes in their planes, but I always suggest to open them and check the soldering on the bottom.

To bad the T-33 doesn't have enough power to put ski's or floats on it, I would be out flying mine off the Snow.We just got 8 to 12 " here in Rapid City SD OH well I just finished painting the floats for my new E-Flite Air Tractor and painted and put floats on the new UMX Turbo Timber to fly off the Snow

I think, if you really wanted to, some smaller floats would work on this T-33. You don't need them to be large enough to "float" the plane since it's not off water, just enough for it to slide along the snow/ice. I'll bet this plane has plenty of power to do that - less friction sliding on snow than wheels rolling on grass. Personally, it's just not worth the effort to do it with my other "winter" planes available. I even had a Lippy P.15 that can be thrown in winter.

Here are parts for the speed brake, loosely based on Brent's design. The servo mount is designed for a Corona (!) DS-939 MG servo. I had to remove a bit of foam from the fuselage to give room for the servo. It should be easy to move the servo closer to the "brake boards", if desired. You may notice a "step" at the aft end of the boards. That's caused by an issue with my printer, it's not in the model.

I'm not going to do the wing lights or I'll never finish. It's almost time to fly
