Corsair Nut's P-80 Shooting Star (Freewing Kit Bash) Flight at Rabbit Dry Lake

[@rodgerhecht3623]

I really like how in the opening shots you show the mods,detail and weathering he did. You both have really upped the game of refinishing these foam planes. Cool stuff.

Wow! Just wow! I watched Corsair nut's build progress videos on the P-80 and I smiled through every one of them. The P-80 is one of my all time favorite planes but it's kind of a shame that there aren't a lot of Rc models of this. When I first heard he was kit bashing a T-33 to look like a P-80, I was thrilled! I was even more amazed with the level of detail he put into his model. Makes me want to go out and buy my own Freewing T-33 and convert it into a P-80! Thanks for sharing!

[@Thercgeek]

He did a great job on this thing. So much so, I bought a t33 for myself originally thinking of doing the same thing. But I’m thinking I may go even crazier with it in terms of kit bashing, haha! We’ll see what happens when the time comes. 😊

[@mylesspear]

@@Thercgeek lol! Cool!

[@Thercgeek]

This is what I’m thinking. 😁 modelingmadness.com/review/korean/cleaver/usaf/tmc94.htm

[@mylesspear]

@@Thercgeek nice! Didn’t think about the f-94. That’d be a nice project. Haven’t seen too many of those in Rc either.

[@Thercgeek]

Yeah, it’s pretty obscure as airplanes go, but it has direct lineage to the T-33. I love the F-94C personally. It’s so ugly is cool, haha!

[@victorrcjets7660]

Sounds good too, upgraded EDF too!

[@hechtspeed]

The power system is actually a downgrade lolol. Has a a10 outrunner fan

[@airhammer6203]

Wow....that's cool. Some great mods done to this one. Nice work showing them to us. AirHammer out!!

[@thegrayeagle9181]

That plane was awesome

[@thegrayeagle9181]

I hope one day I have the honor of meeting you and maybe flying at your field. Looks absolutely awesome. I retiring soon and will be going cross country. Checking out Rc Air fields.

[@ryanhawks6600]

Hope this 1 wins the Motionrc contest. It got my vote! YF-16XL a close second

Pretty sweet landing!

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

Work of art, brother. Well done. She's so damn fast!

[@DadsRCHangar]

Some great detail and weathering, and of course a great flight 👍🏻

[@williamluke5377]

I want one. Got to have it.

[@gavstreet8976]

Are you planning on doing a review on the twin 64mm f15 from arrows hobby?

[@Thercgeek]

Potentially, but I don’t have one at the moment.

[@spinnetti]

Looks and sounds great, and I'm not even a jet fan! Springs are too stiff in the landing gear, and seems like the flaps and speed brakes could use a bit of servo slowing ;)

[@Thercgeek]

It happens. 😉. I hear you on the servo slowing, though for me personally I actually prefer to transition through that stuff fairly quickly (1-2seconds). Transitioning too slow through the flap extension in flight can bring to light non linearities in the response of the aircraft which you can see visually. Transitioning quicker avoids that.

The correct P-80A nose for that time period's (pre-1947) markings would have been the original landing light nose in place of the black ADF housing. It would be cool to put a bright LED in there.

[@hechtspeed]

I know. But i like how tge puppy dog nose looks better :p

[@NICHOLASRGLORIOSO]

PRETTY COOL!!! Does It have a sandwich Drop bay??? Lol

[@Thercgeek]

Haha

[@NICHOLASRGLORIOSO]

@@Thercgeek it Would Bring a Whole new Meaning to FAST FOOD If it could Drop a Cheeseburger with a parachute! Lmao

[@Yankee2003]

The old jets are still the best....

[@Thercgeek]

Yeah they are and they fly so nice as models.

[@tdmaker85]
