new T-33 flies (finally!)

[Phil Cooke]

I've finally got round to finishing and flying the Durable Aircraft Works EPP T-33 - having been 'building' it (it wasnt really building with this funny foam stuff! ) for over 2 years. It suffered terribly at the hands of other projects constantly 'leapfrogging' it in the work queue!

Now it's all finished I am really quite pleased with it - it has great presence both on the ground and in the air, and flies ever so smoothly! It spans 72" and weighs just shy of 5lb. Heres some shots from this weekend, taken in the glorious Peak District!

Enjoy!

Phil.

Hell everybody! Been somewhat busy for along spell, so a little out of touch with things at the moment.
Crikey Phil. I didn't think you were an EPP type of guy. That's a stunning model though! All credit to you for finishing it so well! Did you need the EPP finishing tecniques that I posted all that time back?
Is that kit designed for PSS or power? If power, was it simple to convert?

Be lucky, Mac. ;D

Hiya Mac - how you doing?
Thanks for the T-33 comments - the model is designed as a PSS, the kit came from the US - unfortunately it is no longer manufactured, we imported them as last of the line a few years ago.

I finished the model using 3M spray, packing tape and white solarfilm. Finish is ok, not up to normal model standards but fine from 10 feet plus!

all the best,
Phil
