Hi Pete

Your hatch and install looks great. Will you have your T-33 at Kentucky Jets this year. So far there will be (4) T-33's there that I'm aware of. We plan to have them all in the air at one time. Yours could #5.

Thanks Beave.
Vincent, a brand new Skymaster T-33 weights 29.5lbs.my rebuilt T-33 is 2 lbs. heavier.
Also, I have used a UP3 valve, for the canopy before, and works great.

For sure, I'll have the T-33 at Kentucky Jets

HI Vincent, that"s 29.5 lbs in kit form, no pipe,before you start the build. A normal build with a Rhino and pipeand 3 batteries is 14 lbs.

Hot Dog. Can't wait for the maiden video of this one. Hey Pete. What type copper do you use for your spot rods? Was needing to make a new/longer set for my welder and Mc-Master just has waaaaay many choices. Lol.

Looks great Pete. Exceptional looking install. Mine weighs 47lbe with UAT full. The Rino will fly it very scale like. I upped mine from a P-160 to a P-180. I fly off grass and just wanted a little more for take off. In the air you can't tell the difference. When's the maiden?

K.O.
