    Love the paint scheme of this T33, that contrasting yellow band on the fuselage makes orientation easier. Only bug bear are the aileron horns are on the bottom surface of the wing, its a belly lander - put them on the top. They will eventually get damaged if your flying field is not pristine. 4s all the way!
    I would launch it by holding fuselage behind wings and throwing it up and forwards.
    My first 50mm EDF was an A6 Intruder. I would love to see Arrows make this jet available too!

    • @ScaleMeDown
      @ScaleMeDown  3 роки тому +2

      An underarm launch might work too - I tend to catch the tail on the back of my pants doing this though. The finger grips work OK, but a grip behind the wings is much more comfortable.

      @etops.flight 3 роки тому +1

      @@ScaleMeDown another thing I noted are the horns and clevis’ look a bit weak. Sky Angels were notoriously thin and brittle. Banana Hobby Viper Jet had much beefier and robust ones. Hope they can follow-up on that, perhaps plastic hinges too but you could easily mod those before the maiden.

    Wish you a happy new year 2025. I have them all. And crashed them and fixed them. The CG is crucial.
    My newest is the BAE Hawk with gyro. Maidened in 31.12.24. Beautiful and very fast with 4S, fast out of sight! 😂

    It's weird how the UK models don't come with Vector. It isn't needed, but it's very helpful to launch it.

    • @ScaleMeDown
      @ScaleMeDown  4 місяці тому +1

      The more recent ones such as the L-39 do come with it (although this makes them a bit more expensive), so I think Arrows Hobby are listening to our comments. Glad you enjoyed the video. L39 review is here; ua-cam.com/video/QKN4tky_lCs/v-deo.html

  • @bobi2582
    @bobi2582 3 роки тому +1

    I wonder why Arrows made the wing flat or even slightly anhedral? The fulls size had a bit of dihedral for stability. Seems stable enough though.

    • @ScaleMeDown
      @ScaleMeDown  3 роки тому +2

      Not sure. Yes, super stable in flight.

    It’s a fun little edf. I bought both 50mm’s from Arrows. I was stunned that the T-33 is the better of the two. Not that there’s anything wrong with the Bae Hawk, it’s that the T-33 handles better.

    ya know I have always wanted a small size, but not quite UMX EDF that fly's nice and slow with a nice easy roll rate, that would be perfect for learning to fly EDF's, because honestly the E-flite F-15 is a handful. I can't believe the perfect jet finally came out and once I finish learning my F4U this will be my next buy!
    P.S.: Great review!

      @@kingsolo303 Hi, I don't use FlySky myself, so can't be completely sure, however the kit comes with a 'y' lead for the ailerons. Ensure that the plugs and sockets are all the correct way round (wires connected white to white, red to red, black to black) on all 3 ends of the y lead. Check which way round the plugs are inserted into the receiver. If you are using separate channels for each surface the problem will be with the model setup in the transmitter
