Why 2nd? Because I misjudged distance and destroyed my first one. I don't want to be without this plane! Love it. Great landings with the sprung gear, it's a speed demon, and actually SOUNDS like a real jet. Freewing really has a winner with this T-33. Thank you Motion RC for a great product line and fantastic customer service!

Build was easy, well crafted parts that fit together beautifully. Flies like a dream. Lands like a butterfly, but...$400 and no lights, not even a landing light on the nose!$400 and no separate nose cone! Not that the landing gear would ever collapse or fail. You just bought a complete fuse.$400 and no external parts for realism! I have a basement full of your planes but I am not liking the trend of price vs. product delivered...

Checked the issues ,,,L.G. glue ,CG and overall Quality,,,THIS BATCH of T-33's HAD NO ISSUES!!!!Shes heavier than a lot of other 80mm's that i own,,, but MAN this thing HAULS!!!!Flying WITHOUT TIP TANKS and its easily 10 MPH FASTER,,,they'll never go back on,,,,,,,,,,,control ,speed range ,landing speed and overall flight characteristics put it at the TOP of my JET fliyng list and i own 15 jets!!!!!!!TOP NOTCH aircraft to fly!!!!PULL the TRIGGER,,you won't be sorry!!!!!!!

EDF just keeps getting better all the time. I use full flaps and full throttle to take off of our grass field. Once it break ground...flaps up, gear up and I move around at a little more than 1/2 throttle. Landings are a breeze. Just hold the nose up a little and touch down on the mains first. I have a gyro for the winds, but it flies great with it off as well when the winds aren't kicking so the gyro is not a must have for this plane.
