Attractive model with that classic 50's jet look. Excellent, wide flight envelope and easy to land for the new EDF pilot and plenty of top end for the more experienced EDF flyer.

Truely a scale masterpiece! Silky smooth EDF power plant with tons of power! EDF have come a long way from just a few years ago. I love these older Scale war fighters. Keep them coming MotionRC! Perhaps a B-52? The Buff!! I would also love to see bigger EDFs that we can use two of our 6s packs for power 12s :)

This T 33 is a very nice flyer. Easy to see in the sky. I don't know how you can go wrong with this one.

The airplane assembled quickly and easily. With the battery as far forward as possible,it still would not balance on the marked cg.The airplane is too heavy for the wing area. Should have cheated on the wing area, like they did on the FAT fuselage, to make it fly better.The main gear is located too far back and makes the airplane difficult to rotate for takeoff.It performs most maneuvers fairly well, but requires too much forward pressure when flying inverted. If you're not careful, it will snap roll during knife edge flight.Landings are easy if you keep the speed up. Needs brakes to stop on a calm day. Overall, it flies good, not great, and I'm not sorry I purchased it.

Plane arrived safely packed in molded foam. Assembly time was less that two hours, including receiver installation and transmitter setup. First flight was uneventful with only minor trim adjustment to the elevator. A fair amount of up elevator was required upon lowering the landing gear. A little gear/elevator mix fixed that.Overall, a good value and a lot of fun to fly.

Great looking aircraft. I use to crew and fly with my number one Captain. It brings back a lot on memories.
