Me too! Landings are pretty easy with that plane. Lots of wing but still, that was probably my best landing to date.

Come on down when you are back in town!

Yeah... too long... that gear issue and go around kinda messed me up!

That 120mm EDF sure takes takes a lot of power!

I flown it more already than my other giant edfs. Really good flying plane.

Sometimes the RC gods are with you...

I was watching a few other vids and forum posts and others are getting much better flight times on their t33s. So i was very surprised when I was fully out of battery. I need to put voltage telemetry on this one.

Thanks! Yeah... the gear stuck kinda messed me up! On the ME-262, keep a bit of down elevator on your rollout and release it only when you are at flying speed. The underslung engine nacelles have a bit of a pitch up effect at high throttle / low speed and you can easily take off before you are at flying speed. Happened once, when I forgot to keep a bit of down... almost crashed it.

@@all_rc Thanks!

Can anything be done to improve battery performance or is it just the sheer size of it?

@@capnhardway I usually cut back to half throttle once the jet gets on step. But it is definitely a 3 minute flight to be safe.

Me too!

Thanks! And yeah... damn lucky!

Nope. It's done. I probably could have repaired it but after spending all that time painting and filling that plane, I didn't want to do it again. That was my first bigger edf so it had some miles on it. I figured at some point, I'll get another one and it will be nice to have a shiny new one again.

That plane makes it easy

Lol! I like to live dangerously!

Batteries are still good! I checked IR and they are good as new. Been running them with no problems. Those SMC HV batteries are awesome

Out of the box.... HSD T-33. Nicer quality with its MFC that everything plugs into (already done for you). Flies lighter... landings are easier with its lighter wing loading. Better roll rate. Better quality edf fan. But no foam spares. If you break a vertical stab and want a replacement, nope. Unless you are willing to shell out for a whole kit. But the 339 is really good. The edf is so-so... hsd seems to use the same motor, but their fan unit does make a difference. It does fly great. Lands with a bit more power, but it's manageable. Wiring will not be as nice as the HSD because all servo connections go directly to the receiver and it has small boards for BEC, brake controller and retract controller. You can't go wrong with either but i did replace the motor right away on the 339. Still like the 339. If i wanted just one, the T33 would be it. But the 339 isn't bad.

Yes. It'll bubble. My canopy interior (under the clear plastic) is starting to bubble but that's worst case. Rest of the plane is fine. It's foam so yeah, you do have to treat it gentle. On really hot or sunny days, I have a packing blanket I put on the plane to try an protect it but the body hasn't shown signs of bubbling.

Much appreciated! I've been watching your content for a while now!

SMC smc-racing.com I'm just starting to use them.... they are worth the money. I've tested them in a few of my planes and the power, and endurance is noticeably better. I used the 6200mah High Voltage version. You charge them on the LiHV setting which charges the battery to 4.35v per cell.

@@all_rc Oh, okay. I'm old. And been through a lot. Thank you.

It's pretty easy. Put your stick full throttle. Turn on the plane and then hook up the main batteries. Wait a couple of seconds for the esc to initialize and then throttle to idle. Make sure throttle cut is off for this to work. That's it!

@@all_rc Thank you very much my friend for the info.

Ailerons are sensitive. I fly at around 65% for elevator and ailerons. That's my high rate. Low would be around 50 but I haven't touched low rate since I set up the plane.

@@all_rc Perfect......ya 65% is what I was thinking just looking at the surface movements.....factory spec is always too high for me....tks

Yes sir

Uhm... that's taxiing in the dirt where we pit. Had to make sure the nose wheel tracked straight before taking it to the main runway. We have a concrete runway. There wouldn't be any dirt spray from that!I'm not trying to deceive anyone!
