“The T-33 is my fourth EDF from Motion, all Freewing. (Mig-21, F-15, L-39) The T-33 is already my go to EDF. It has a WIDE speed range. Stable at slow and high speeds. Of all my EDF’s this one gives me the most flight time per charge. I have the timer set to 3:30 and typically land around the 4 minute mark. Leaving my Admiral 6s 5000’s with approx 30% in the tank. Landing is straight forward, definitely the “easiest” to land of all my current Freewing Jets. The T-33 has very good power for long vertical climbs and aerobatics. Even at our club elevation of 4500’. 4-point rolls are pretty indeed. It can be flown scale, or kick up the throttle and hot-rod it around. All around fun. The T-33 is a classic, and a keeper!”

“Santa Claus brought me the silver and red version of the Freewing T-33 for a Christmas present. I wanted something different than the two color schemes available from the factory, so I decided to paint my T-Bird in the black, gray and white scheme used by the Black Diamonds Air Show Team a few years back. The instructions say that you can just paint over the decals. I tried that and it didn't work very well. It was nearly impossible to cover that bright red, especially with the white. I used Acetone to strip all of the paint off down to the EPO foam. The Acetone took the paint off with minimum effort and did not attack the foam at all. I used the Callie Graphics T-33 Nomenclature decal sheet for the ground crew stencils. The numbers and insignia were made for me by Downen Signs in Fairview Heights, IL. I have not had a chance to fly the T-33 as yet, but a fellow club member just put the maiden flight on his a few days ago it flew very well, so I have high hopes for mine.”

“This my second review on the T-33. After many flights both main gear buckets came out on landing and broke the nose gear doors. Great plane but I would recommend epoxying the landing gear in. There was only 2 small areas of glue on both buckets. Seems like Freewing could do a better job. Everything else is great and I am very satisfied.”

“Got as a gift. My first EDF. One of my all-time favorite Jets. It's a great-looking model that is brought down by the fact that the landing gear system is, in fact, sprung but provides no actual benefit to flight ops due to the fact that the springs are so rigid. This model has, in essence, fixed gear. Examination of the main gear ops reveals that there are serious issues involving the gear arms engaging the doors with the slightest movement and having the potential for future failures. I believe Freewing purposely installed these rigid springs to actually prevent movement of the main gear when they discovered, perhaps late in the design/production phase, that this was a flaw. This was likely the most expedient and least costly fix and Freewing can still claim the model has sprung gear. There is really no option for the buyer to correct this, other than to change to softer wheels for more cushioning, or by replacing the stock struts with something else. Very unfortunate as flight reviews are so positive. It's amazing that no one has mentioned this very obvious issue, but I guess that's because most hobbyists these days don't really pay that much attention. I also personally find it very annoying that Freewing has elected to use thread locker on many of the screws, making maintenance or parts replacement unnecessarily difficult-to-impossible. A good start Freewing, but you will have to do better before I would buy another Freewing product. A more in-depth discussion of these issues can be seen on RC Groups under Wmetcalf.”

“This plane is a lot of fun. Wide speed envelope allows for easy landings, for a jet. It has an awesome presence in the air with those giant tip tanks. The gear door actuation is simple (no servo's) and works well. I have 4 Freewing EDF's and this one is my favorite.”
