I am looking forward to sending any amount of currency they want for this when it releases 
looks gorgeous!
Among the many, many things to like here, Iâm happy to see the map option on the phone/EFB. A nice way to have a basic modern navigation tool without losing the late 40s vibe.
Thatâs in addition to the sounds, the handling, the systems, etc. Really looking forward to it.
I disagree. The current version of A300-600R is a pretty good aircraft.
Instant purchase for me. Grew up looking at this all my life.
Day one purchase for sure
Here would be me preview video in german language -
my opinion:
- high quality overall
the only thing I am not sure about are the speeds of this addon (noticably stall, landing takeoff). They dont match the official manuals for the old original T33. Maybe they modelled a different version. But you cant fly as slow as in the manuals. You will stall nearly 30 and more knots to early. You need to fly the mph numbers from the manual in knots.
Cheers
Ay ay ay ay ay!
Since you have contacts at Inibuilds, @JayDee6281, did you flag that stall discrepancy to them? Given they directly corelate from knots to mph, it seems like a human error in testing akin to the kind of thing that makes Mars probes crash. (âOoopsl Wrong measurement units!â)
nice analogy though, and who could forgetâŠ
I reported it. But it could also be an error on my side, but I cant figure where my error would be.
Here is a cool video from the modern T33 version
you can see, that he is going down to around 100 knots before touchdown. So this would be exactly what the old manuals would say. But in the addon you just cannot do that, you would stall at around 20-30 Knots before. And I tested it with around 12000 lbs gross weight, which is ok for landing. In dirty config stall should accour way below 100 knots with zero bank.
I still hope I am wrong and missing something or that the version I got, just dont have the final flight modell on it.
Otherwise this Addon is top quality and the price is very good for that qualitiy.
Cheers
In this AOPA pilot report, Barry Schiff notes the landing speeds as 125 knots on final, 110 over the fence and touchdown at 90. How does that compare with what youâre seeing?
Is there any difference between the early Lockheed T-33s and the Canadairs built under license? AFAIK itâs modelled on the Canadair CT-133, which are the variants Greg Colyer owns.
Got it (my POH arrives tomorrow - havenât been able to cross-check).
Sounds like the performance is off.
Have you tried to contact them? Asking naively - Iâve never bought an iniBuilds product and have no idea how they tend to respond.
In the developerâs overview video, they call for approach speed of 140-150 kts, and touchdown at 110-120, with 70% RPM, maybe slightly higher. See at 35:30, link in @VortecMalibuâs post here.
All those figures are higher than the POH.
They mention the POH, so clearly theyâre aware of it. Wonder why the disconnect. Was thinking it might just be that Collyer chooses to fly with an extra margin of safety - but then the aircraft shouldnât fall out of the sky at book speeds.
For those looking for a POH

Love my military jets , this one hopefully will come with RCAF insignia livery in the kit.
Looking forward to this!
