          "I added some leds to my T-33. A solid green & red on the wingtips, a white beacon on top and a red beacon below.
          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."

          IT2:

          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.

          Thanks flazz

          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.

            Thanks! Here is the file for a 3DP nozzle. Slow progress with my make over, but the weather over here is still too bad for maiden flight.

            • 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

                How do you know it doesn't? You don't know till you try. Personally, I fly all winter in the snow/ice but it's primarily with my VTOL's and water planes, "skidders", hand launchers and planes with giant balloon tires.

                    So do I. I have 5 or 6 planes with floats, Ski's and Tundra tires, but I prefer All of them with the floats on them. Come Spring and the Lakes melt then I fly off the water while out fishing. Love my Two Mini Timbers. Fly them from my front deck.

                    • 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.

                        Ditto; keep up the good work (and 3D-goodies)!

                          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.

                          Man thank you for doing the CAD work on this and my friend Vic for printing these out. They can out great! I installed it last night and it fit perfectly and as soon as I finish the paint I will get it posted.

                          Thanks guys!

                                  Oops! I‘m currently on vacation, you need to wait till the end of the coming week. You‘ll get the canopy arch incl. rear view mirror and compass housing then as well.

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

                                      dont be a so lazy Gilatrout , you will bite yourself into your own ass later if you dont install the wing lights now, while you are at it. To wait a few days longer will hurt nobody, just think about how cool it will look and go for it .
