F-80 & T-33
Shooting Stars
for EVF or Turbine Power

Conversion Packages - New
for 2012
|
There are
several early F-80 and T-33 kits that have been sitting
around for years. They are in various stages of
completion from new-in-the-box (NIB) to having been
flown with D/F or Turbine power.
The below list of parts packages were developed to build the prototype
EVF models that we have been flying and are included in
the new, all composite versions of the F-80 and T-33.
These parts can be used to convert/update the early balsa covered foam
wing kits and the Obeche skinned foam wing kits to the
very efficient EVF ~3~ 12s power. The new
instruction manual covers both the F-80 and T-33.
The full size CAD drawings are specific to each version
of the Shooting Star.
It is the customer's choice as to which parts packages you wish to
purchase and how much of the conversion fits the
state-of-build of your model. Please understand
that we can not breakup a package to sell one or two
parts. It would be labor expense that could not be
covered. It may be helpful to order the
instruction manual and plans first, then order the parts
by the package number as shown below.
Both the BVM F-80 and T-33 have placed high in recent scale competitions
because the outline is true to scale and because they
fly and land very well.
Note: If your Shooting Star
has the original balsa sheeted wings, give us a call for
information about adding more strength to those
structures. |

WING TANK CONFIGURATION







Main Gear Flex Mounts
for
Early T-33 / F-80 Kits

| The early BVM F-80 and
T-33 kits used molded C/F plastic, then machined
aluminum plates to mount the retract units. These
retracts utilized separate air cylinders to operate.
The flex mounts and doublers available for these
airplanes are now machine cut from Carbon Fiber plate
stock.
The reinforcement doubler plates come as one
part for manufacturing convenience. Simply cut them
apart at the tab and file off the remaining stubs.
q
Scuff the doubler C.F. plates with #80 grit and epoxy
glue or Slow Zap them to the top surface of the main
flex plates using the 4 holes to align.
q Use
a #89 bit to drill out any glue, then tap with #4-40.
q Use
the longer 4-40 flat head bolts (supplied) to mount the
retract units.
