Hi,
BVM T33 with 12S BVM Viofan, finished with Klass Kote paints &
clear, and Aeroloft epoxy decals. It flies amazing with the EDF
unit and looks beautiful in the scale colors.
Regards,
Kevin Gambetti

Hi Heather
Here's some pictures of my
original BVM T33. I just finished it after my father started it
about 20 years ago! It is RAM 500 powered. It is painted in
Klass Kote and modeled after Doug Matthew's full scale airshow
T33. I've seen too many ANG orange and Thunderbird schemes, this
was different!

Beautiful Shooting Start
Jake, and thanks for sharing this with BVM.

RE: T-33 wing
Patty,
Yes I got my “Care package” the other day. Everything I need is there
for me to complete the repair and get my plane back into the air. Thank
you for all of your help, it is greatly appreciated. I attached a
picture of myself and the plane after the maiden flight late last
summer. Managed to get it in before a very severe thunderstorm hit the
area, part of the reason the picture is so dark. Also my wife was as
excited as I was on the successful flight that proper camera settings
were not on our minds at the time of the picture.
Happy Landings
Bob Wonitoy

Good morning
Bob,
Reinstalling
turbine and checking current draws on all servos. Thanks for the
years of producing excellent kits. The paint scheme is
that of the 197th FIS, Arizona Air National based at Sky Harbor
airport in Phoenix. The "Copper Heads" flew F-86s and thisT-33
was the squadron hack and instrument trainer. Barry Goldwater
had a few rides in the back seat. The colors are not the
original.
Thanks,
Skeet Hunt |

your support during our construction phase.

Kent Nogy campaigned his
Electric VioFan 5012 powered T-33 at the Mesa Arizona event November
16-18, 2007. There were several EDF jets at this event, about 40%
of the total entry. Kent was presented the pilot's choice "Best Electric
Jet" and the club's judges award for the "Best Electric Performance".
The T-33 spans 80" and
weighs 17.5 lbs. Fast passes and big loops were part of Kent's "T" Bird
flight profile in the elevated desert air.

![](../images/spacer1.gif) BVM's Metal-Kote Aluminum painted finish and
Pro-Mark's new solid
Aluminum rub-on rivets look great on this "Artic Scheme" T-33.
![](../images/spacer1.gif) This new A.F.S. T-Bird represents our best
effort yet in applying the Metal-Kote.
Click here for
the latest techniques on applying Metal-Kote.
![](../images/spacer1.gif) The rivets are applied on top of the clear coated
Metal-Kote and will withstand normal handling and cleaning of the
model.
![](../images/spacer1.gif) A JetCat P-70 provides
just the right amount of power for a very scale-like flight profile.
![](../images/spacer1.gif) In the hands of Tom Dodgen, this model
captured 3rd place in the Pro-Am event at Top Gun '04.
![](../images/spacer1.gif) You can order the
Metal-Kote from BVM and the new Aluminum
Rivets and Steel Screw Head package from
Pro-Mark at

![](../images/spacer1.gif) BVM Rep, Mark Taylor from Fresno, California built this "T" Bird
from a new A.F.S. kit and then applied Flight Metal for the finish. This
extremely realistic looking T-33 is powered by a JetCat P-70.
![](../images/spacer1.gif) Mark flew the real A/C while attached to an
F-16 Guard unit in Fresno.
![](../images/spacer1.gif) He found
the A.F.S. (Advanced Fabrication System) easy and quick to build.
![](../images/spacer1.gif) Flight report soon!
![](../JetKits/T-33.jpg) The BVM factory demo T-33 has been a scale
competitor thanks to the building and detailing skills of Jerry Caudle.
Currently this model has undergone a transformation to the new formers/retracts
and fuel cells along with a JetCat P-80 for power and is a lot of fun to
fly.

Mike Oberst from
Andrews, South Carolina recently logged the first few sorties on his brand new
turbine T-33. Here's a few excerpts from his letter - "Not having the benefit
of having any other "jetheads" close by to help, I was a litle apprehensive
about going on my own, but I shouldn't have been. This is a case where good
instructions and plans really paid off. A RAM 750F gets me airborne off our
grass strip with authority. I utilize the "crow" mixing as per your update on
landing, and it lands very nicely. The reason why I continue to buy exclusively
BVM is that in exchange for my bucks you guys have already done your homework.
Please keep up the good work."

Silver wings and
white fuselage with orange trim make this T-33 very visible. We found only one
black and white photo in an F-4 book to document this model. This is an easy
and effective scheme utilizing ProMark epoxy ink transfers for
detailing.
![](../HotShots/T-33-1.jpg)
This Thunderbirds
scheme is beautiful, utilizing Presto chrome covering and ProMark
graphics.

from South Africa competed in the World Jet Masters with his beautiful
T-33.
