Default T-33 arrived....

...and I have to say I am mighty impressed for the money!!

I dare say they'll be a few niggles to sort once I start on the build but general construction looks good, gear is great, paint very nice and price even better. Feibao have surprised me

Cheers,
Mark

Anurag,

160 size. Flies really nice too with that power.

Marc, believe it's 1:4.3

Cheers,

LOL - you'se a funny man!

We'll see how we go - looking all over it at the mo everything is a perfect fit and lines up so I'm taking that as a promising sign. Lots more carbon in the new wings following some reports of 'possible' wing flex on the early model flying at Florida Jets so they're taking things on board too which is good.

Looks really good, what was the price if you don't mind me asking? Looking forward to your build thread..............

to be honnest feibao was not bad in the past and they where open for suggestions.
it was just they sell to anyone and dont care about dealer networks .

More correctly, it sounds exactly like dealing with Jet Legend. See the thread " Jet Legend Buyers Beware" to get a first hand description of how not to take care of both your customers and your dealers. I know from first hand experience.

Mark,

Looks great. Did you buy it direct from FB or through a distributer?

Hi Tim,

I wasn't aware there were any dealers in the UK. In the end I used Marty Cowan, despite being based in Australia he was very helpful and on the ball. Good comms and links to the factory it seemed. E-mail and the internet makes the world such a small place nowadays I don't think it matters where in the world someone is based! (unless you need to meet them in person of course! )

Rgds,
Mark

Thanks Mark,

Looks a VERY nice model. Hoping to get my hands on one soon. Got a P-160se ready for it.

Please keep the details/ pictures coming, as your build starts.

Looks like it now has some new decals that were not on the original?

Guys,

For those that own this model, Pablo, Fritz, Scott, Mick & Co, pls can you post some installation pictures?

For a model that seemingly needs nose weight, its a shame that huge void in the nose is not really accessible as that would alleviate any nose weight issues I'd have thought?

So, post some pics!

Oh, and what servos are you running? I have about 16 x 8411s unopened - would be great to use these. The surfaces really don't look big at all so I suspect they'll be OK but interesting to know what you guys ran/are running.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Everyone,
The UK Dealer is Martin Little ACEJETS.CO.UK . If you are wanting a light weight pipe call wren turbines they have them ready made.
