    FB Jets. One cartridge should be plenty to assemble your Large FB Jets T33, however depending on how you prefer your setup; it is a good idea to have spare available.

    Servo extensions (length may vary, depending on receiver placement) This Model is one of • the largest T33’s on the market. You will need a number of quality extension leads for your servos given the length and wings span of the model.

    FEI BAO/FB Jets Large T33 Step 1: Check Forward Fuselage Remove the fuel tanks from the fuselage. • Also remove the forward component boards. Now would be a good time to put a coat of • paint on these parts if you would like to protect the wood surfaces.

    Step 4: Nose gear To ensure a smooth operation nose steering and retraction function on your T33 nose wheel, it is ideal to pull the front nose retract from the airframe to work on it. In doing this your can check the retraction function of the nose wheel assembly with ease and add silicon stray if needed for prolonged smooth operation.

    • however, as you may want to remove the tanks in the future. When the glue is dry, run air system lines to the tanks. In our T33, all air and fuel fill lines are • run to the front hatch of the airframe together with the fuelling points etc for easy of service.
  • Page 9: Step 6: Vertical Fin And Rudder

    In most kits, the hinges are preinstalled in the control surfaces, but must be glued into the • flight surface. This however is not true for the rudder and fin and elevators as FB Jets has utilised the screw pin method. The servos for the rudder and elevator fit nicely into both the fin and the tailplane making it easy for you to install the servo arms and pushrods together with the control horns.

    FEI BAO/FB Jets Large T33 Step 7: Horizontal Stabilizers The horizontal stabs build up in a similar fashion to the vertical stab in terms of the servo • installation. Install your servos in the space provided and modify slightly as required if your selected servo does not fit.

    FEI BAO/FB Jets Large T33 Wire tie the brake line to the main strut and check operation of the gear once more to • make sure brake line has adequate length and clearance. Photo 6: Main gear Step 13: Aileron and Flap Servos Remove the aileron servo covers.

    Try to conduct test flights under ideal weather conditions, at a flying facility that offers • plenty of “outs” in case of problems. The T33 will enjoy any wind but a head wind on take off and landing will make for very slow controlled landings and smooth short take offs. We deactivated the speed brakes for a first flight and actually found that this model by FB jets slows up superbly even without speed brakes.

    FEI BAO/FB Jets Large T33 Equipment Installation Photos Equipment, including fuelling tubes, switches, air fill, air gauges and remote ECU board were • all installed in on the component boards to have as much weight forward as possible. Also, the wiring for the ECU and for the servos was run down opposite sides of the fuselage to avoid interference.
