Skymaster T-33 build
This will be the order for now
1- Clean up all,( what not should be their in the first place)
2-remove the speed brakes and tape the flaps for inside red paint.
3-Trim the cockpits for easy removal and install rail for support
4- install the fuel tanks
5-beef up any area's with special epoxy formula of West systems 205 epoxy, milled carbon fiber( very hard to find a supplier) and Cabosil Thixotropic filler.
6-Build a front mount for the gages and power box switch
That's 2 days work
more to come.

Hi Pete,
I am building my second Skymaster T-33 at the moment. What a great plane !
I have done a building report with a lot of picture here
http://www.rc-network.de/forum/showt...Skymaster+T-33
The report is in german but should be no problem if you use a translater.

The Rudder assembly needed extra work, the whole system is too low, into the pipe, removed 3/8'' on the horn /rudder post, also removed the servo plate and replaced it with 5/32'' 5ply, c/w blind nuts for the servo, and raised it a 1/2''. I used just one servo rod, but am not happy with the amp. draw and binding, will remove and go with the suggested pull pull.

Pete, have you tried the West Systems 610? It is already a thickend epoxy that is way cheaper then other cartridge dispensed epoxies and it uses a regular caulking gun to pump it out. I use it all the time for filled bonding areas and you could mix in other fillers as well. I don't use the supplied tip and just apply it with a artist's palate knife.
Are you looking for short stranded carbon 1/4 inch or milled carbon like power? I can put you onto the 1/4 carbon but don't know a spouce for the milled powder type like cabosil powder.
