Just got back from a Fun Fly, HOT!, but a great day.

I flew my KY T-33 three times. Man, I love this little jet! I bought it used a couple months ago and replaced the stock motor with an Aveox 2726/1.5 and a TP 3S2P 4200 G2 pack. It hand launches very easy and has been clock at over 80MPH!

I wish Kyosho was re-release the T-33, F-16 and Lear Jet foam EDFs!

Hey Brian. Alot of people have commented positive about the Kyosho t-33 and F-16. I myself have come close a hundred times to picking one up in the forsale forums. Maybe one day Ill grab one before they become too extinct :)

Mike,

I would suggest it, I had one NIB, but sold it. (still kicking myself!)

It is really amazing how well it flies and how much fun it is!

I am getting ready to start the MiniWave by Rich Uravitch...100-MPH!!!!

I too enjoy my T-33; one in the rafters as a spare!

1st flight was 7/00; well balanced stock fan/rotor (w/upgrade spinner & adapter) still going strong at nearly 500watts.

jrb, 500 watts!!! That is great, I lost a fan at 450...guess I need to balance better.

Both the upgrade aluminum spiiner and collet adapter help quite a bit at higher watts!

However, some have been able to balance the plastic as well.

Do you know if Tower still carries the upgrade spinner and collet?

Tower not; but maybe Kyosho, who has the fan/rotor: http://www.kyoshoamerica.com/index.asp

Read somewhere ( http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4046276&postcount=88 ) that someone found a different collet adapter that could be made to work.

Try a cut down Kamdax IC impeller with the Kyosho fan; I'm using the Mega 16/20/2 on a 4400 4S and she is right at 735 watts :eek:

VERTICAL is FUN

Still haven't flown mine yet, all stock gear with nicads, Canadian markings and colour. (Before you guys yell at me, I cannot afford lipos, but I can afford to build balsa models!) I also have a spare motor/fan, and intend to build a (balsa) CF100 or RB66; at that point I may have to go to better (lighter) battery packs...
