I have a lot of confidence in the Freewing (and Flightline) planes I have purchased from MRC, including this one. My T-33 arrived in excellent condition with no dents, was easy to assemble, and everything fits well and works smoothly. The camo paint job is very nice, and the foam surface (cells) are relatively smooth across all surfaces. I haven't flown it yet due to weather, but the many consistently positive flight reviews lead me to expect performance similar to my Freewing 262, which is an outstanding flyer. The one negative comment I have is that once again, Freewing has omitted a light package. Just like the ME-262, the T-33 is just too good a model to not have navigation lights, at the least. I have installed lights on both models, but really -- they should come with lights! Especially on the T-33, the blue box already has plug-ins for landing lights (on and off as the gear goes down or up), nav lights, and strobe lights, so why not charge a few bucks more and have them factory-installed. Otherwise, I couldn't be more pleased with my German-schemed T-33...and with Motion RC's customer service, as usual

First off, the airplane is beautiful. Construction was easy, simple, and straightforward. But that's where it ends. My gear refused to work. They were in the up position and wouldn't budge. I spoke to another T33 pilot that I know and asked for some help. He told me to get 2 U harnesses and bypass the blue board for the retracts. I tried it and it worked like a charm. Aside from the gear, it's a sweetheart. I haven't flown it yet, but I hope she makes up for the gear problem.

I have both the USAF and Camo T-33. They are great quality, assemble fast, look and fly fantastically. The fact I ordered a second one while my first was still in top shape and flying well speaks to how much I like and enjoy this model. I fly mine with 6S 6000 mAh batteries all the way forward to the foam. Perfect balance.
