BVM T-33 flight characteristics
I have a fan powered one which, as others have said, flies like it is on rails. It did, however, teach me how to and how not to land it! Once we figured out how to land it and do it that way every time, life is good. I am using an 8 channel radio and do not have enough channels to make the ailerons into spoilerons as others have suggested. Mine does have flaps but still it seemingly wants to glide forever. The trick to smooth landings without the spoilerons is to let it glide! Let it glide about a foot or so off the runway until the wing no longer has enough lift to fly and then it settles down nicely. If you get anxious for it to set down and let loose the up elevator too soon, be prepared for the plane to start that nasty hopping thing. Mine seemed like it took turns which of the four points hit the runway. Wingtip, bounce, nose, bounce, tail, bounce, you get the picture. However, when we discovered why it was doing the bouncing thing, we quit doing that and almost every landing since has been perfect.
I found that the elevator throws recommended make the elevator waaaaaaaaay too sensitive. I cut mine down by about half and the plane is a real *****cat.
