I’ve recently bought the t33 and wow it’s an awesome warbird jet it flys like on the rails the siloete is stunning it reminds me of star wars x wing fighter but here’s the negative bit on its 3rd flight the front nose retract wouldn’t come out I circled maybe 3 times switching the gear then finally it came down saving a lot of damage to the underbelly. on inspection at home I discovered the pinion that turns the bolt which brings the wheel out had come loose so just a bit of super glue and it’s fixed . I think Freewing need to rethink how they build these retracts maybe use some lock thread but other than this issue all is good

Overall, this was a great purchase of a jet. It went together really quick - the only minor thing I needed to do was move the bluebox to the fuse side as I wanted the original space for my receiver.The T-33 flies wonderfully. Only 1 clicks of down trim needed. I'm flying with 6s 5000 packs all the way forward. I am flying with about 5% less than the low rates on the aileron. I also need to play with the flaps. For the way I fly, I think I need more than the stated flap throws in the manual.Overall, I'm very pleased with this jet!

Flies as good as it looks. Good low speed quality for easy landings and with plenty of speed for aerobics. Good run times to boot!

I’ve bought 3-4 EDF’s over the years and this EDF handles great but lacks the speed that I’m looking for.I fly electric only and have custom built prop planes that will out perform this plane.The only EDF’s that perform are BVM’s but there are way too much money.
