Excellent! Very easy to see and orientate with those huge tip tanks. Is Anton planning to fly F3A with this model?

regards

Excellent! Same jet I'm going to start scratch building soon. He beat me on that. My plan sheets got home last week. And Anton's one is all-ready airborne. Almost same size. Mine will be 100"span 89" lengh. At least I know now where to find the gears and cockpit for my project.

Thanks Anton,

Very nice plane, but a little too heavy for F4C rules (maxi 15kg dry)... :-(

Anyway, this is an original model...great !

Hi,

Skymaster produced this model already last year. Anton has test fly and redesign and test fly and redesign the T33 untill he was happy with the performance of this model. It is very important that the model must be as light as possible and that no extra weight is needed for CG. The wing profiles were also changed to make sure you have great flying and landing characteristics. I know from flying a bvm t33 df it was very difficult to get the landings just perfect. Maybe i was still a rookie then . The SM T33 lands very slowly and i think the good wing loading is a big factor.

So when you spend that hard earned dollars be assure that you will receive a well deisgn and well tested model that will work out of the box.

Regards

Hello Jeanfi,

Good news! Anton just agree to make a version for f4c same size. This will be perfect for 12kg turbines...

Hi Anton,

Order gone in for one of these

Can you confirm you are aiming this at scale competition?

Also, does the model have the speedbrakes on the underside of the fuselage as in this picture?

And when do you think the first kits will ship now that the test flights are complete?

Thanks,
Mark

PS See you at JetPower!

Hi, Mark

yes, the T-33 will be super scale like the F-86 1/5 for competition version , and it will included the speed brake and opening canopy ,

I think the release time of T-33 will be end of 2009 or beginning of 2010, the Likai already starting designing the scale L/G for T-33.

I now wait the sample of L/G , i will post the pictures here when I got it,

Nice color scheme for the T-33, could you send more pictures to us for your color scheme,

best regards

Anton
