Several guys told me THEIR T 33s had also tended to spin easily. The root cause ( excuse the pun) was eventually trace to the cusp on the wing root which BVM eventuallY removed as it was on their F80. That seemed to fix the problem.

The T33 spun off a lowish speed wing over, it happens as we have seen in the Kamloops Snowbird tragedy last week where a low speed wingover following an EFATO resulted in a spin, the jet crashing into a house, one pilot ejecting and surviving, the other so sadly died.

Anyway welcome back John, perhaps we may meet up again at a CJ.

its always good to see guys explain their crashes miniscule , and blame everything and everyone for their crash.. ;-)
welcome back! your going to use telemetric servos again on a none telemetric device?.

"Kruze" ;-)
