Our newest soaring masterpiece! Long the mainstay of the Club Soaring world, the Schweizer 2-33A was the first taste of soaring for many thousands of pilots. This beautiful 1/3 scale rendition with an advanced high performance airfoil is truly designed for aero-tow or benevolent slope launching. In just about any conditions you'd want to fly in, this majestic 17 foot wingspan 1/3 Scale 2-33 will deliver; it's smooth handling and uncanny ability to find and signal "LIFT!!" in light air will amaze and impress anybody who's ever flown a "cookie cutter" all molded lead slipper. Since this big 2-33 is easy to ballast-up for efficient penetration in windy conditions, yet remain responsive and manageable in light air or on slow field approaches you'll find this 'Gentle Giant' is the one you always want to take along on any kind of soaring outing. Developed for Aero-Tow, it's docile enough that a big slow Cub can mange her on climb out on the lazy light air days and the wide speed range will keep you flying much longer in a wider range of conditions than anything in its class.

The Plans Set and Manual Package

This is the 'heart' of any big bird building project.. and the quality starts right here. Instead of just a set of blurred copies and a 'good luck' handshake, we give you 8 sheets of precise, detailed Original printed Plans with full size patterns and a complete 'bill of materials' for the entire project including the options setups as well as scale detail sheets.

As with our 1/4 scale version, the Build is astoundingly smooth and easy.. what would have been an overwhelmingly complicated fuselage structure builds up very quickly, flat on the board, right over the plans... (click on pictures for enlarged views)

The Scale Tow Release Setup

As part of the basic design we've got the fabrication and installation of a conventional model tow release included in the plans and manual. But we've got folks that really wanted a Scale Tow Release instead.. and here it is. The decision to incorporate the Scale Release has to be made prior to starting the fuselage build since the structure of the nose is quite a bit different to accomodate the Scale Release. Here's the Plans Addendum, the Scale Release Installation Manual (with detailed photos) and the additional CNC cut parts necessary to build it into the nose, the cardstock templates to modify the parts impacted in the kit AND the Scale Release all in one package. No 'head scratching'.. makes the inclusion of the Scale Release in your Gentle Giant a breeze.  

Note: CANNOT be added to a finished model or a fuselage that has already been started!

  The Shipping Situation

The Basic, Standard and Deluxe Kit packages can be over-sized or ship in two boxes, so the shippers often calculate shipping based on the packages dimensions rather than it's weight. We send this via UPS to US 'lower 48' destinations, usual cost is between $37.95 and $49.95 for the various short kit packages. Please note, Overseas or Canada destinations can cost significantly more. The cart system will process the order for your items and assigin a base shipping price for each item in the cart. This means that if you order multiple items the Cart System will keep adding to the shipping costs.. no worries, we'll refund immediately the erroneous 'overages' and charge you only the shipping amount for the largest item in the order. If the kit or items are going to an overseas or Canadian destination and the cart didn't collect enough to cover the shipping we'll contact you promptly via email for the difference in costs.

 I guess we should let you know...

The fiberglass work, plans, manual, CNC and laser cutting are ALL done in house here at Aviation Concepts. This is the ONLY way to assure the level of quality and attention to the details that make our kits the best in the industry. We strive to keep kits on hand ready to ship immediately, so you'll normally not have to wait "six weeks" (or months) for your kit to ship. If we experience any shipping delay longer than 2 days after your order comes in, we will immediately notify you of the situation and when you can expect your kit to ship. We'll do our best to not keep you hanging.. unless it's already built and you just wanna keep it in the thermals. We're certain your going to love it! Enjoy!
