Default RE: RClander T33 for 90 or 120mm edf

Hi Al,

Thanks for the tip! I did check out the RCG thread and learned plenty from the members that already built one. For me, it is a winter project so I can take some time building it. The T-33 is a unique large foam plane design by Tim. Good luck on your maiden!

The next step was to glue the air intake pieces together and then into the plane. After the glue dries, the side panels follow. It's nice to have an old soft sofa to work on so the finish doesn't get rash. The Beacon Foam-Tac has worked very well so far.

Before gluing the side panels, I positioned my DF in place and drilled pilot holes for the metal ring mount. The bottom half of the foam insert was then glued to the fuselage before mounting the side panels. I'll be using the older Lander 120mm DF which I'll detail later. The T-33 can be fitted for either 90mm or 120mm DFs.
