I am pretty sure that the picture at the bottom of the document that insists it is a 2-33, and not a 2-33A, is wrong. What's the easiest difference? Notice at the top of the rudder, you can see that there is a protruding part of metal ahead of the hinge.
Notice this picture, look at the tail: (2-33A) http://www.flickr.com/photos/runway27r/811965094/ (FAA registry: http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/nnumsql.asp?NNumbertxt=2934H )
I'm having a hard time finding a picture of a 2-33 without the "A". I've seen this glider up close, and verify that the tail is an authentic 2-33 (not A) tail. But their website has a poor quality picture, so I can't exactly prove my point. I've asked the webmaster for a better picture.

Well, according to the Canadian Aircraft registry
http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/activepages/ccarcs/aspscripts/en/notice.asp, it's a 2-33, not a 2-33A; but still.... the date it was built and the serial number are too young to make it a 2-33, and not a 2-33A.. Also the spring-loaded tailwheel was a feature that didn't come along until later. Is there any way you could take a picture of the metal plate in the cockpit? Was there a major repair on the rudder and tail to make it have the 2-33A tail?

OK, I've been living in Switzerland with all my soaring books in storage, including my "Sailplanes by Schweizer" book. But now that I am back in the US, I have found the book and can research the topic more accurately: I think this text in the book pretty much settles it:
In 1968, after 85 deliveries, we converted to the 2-33A model by adding a balanced rudder to reduce the control forces and incorporating some other minor improvements.
Sailplanes by Schweizer, a History. by Paul A Schweizer, Martin Simons, page 176.
It looks like the article has been changed to reflect this, so I think I am a little late to the game here. :)

I added to the tail description. hope it is OK. Arydberg ( talk) 02:15, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
I made a change to reflect the different trim system on the 2-33 and the 2-33A Arydberg ( talk) 14:47, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
S/N 591 has it. I assumed it was part of the A series. I will look. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.172.214.170 ( talk) 21:40, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
I suggest you add something like.. The four bungee trim system was replaced with a tooth wheel and spring starting on S/N 500 http://www.airplanesandrockets.com/airplanes/Schweizer-2-33A-Sailplane-Manual-p1.htm
It is on the 2-33A my club flies.
The source is here http://www.airplanesandrockets.com/airplanes/Schweizer-2-33A-Sailplane-Manual-p1.htm I tried to edit it but cannot add the reference to the list Arydberg ( talk) 22:22, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
I guess I overstepped. Did the early 2-33's also have a steel tube/ fabric vertical fin & rudder assembly? Arydberg ( talk) 15:04, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
On ours the vertical fin is aluminum. Perhaps you should check it. Arydberg ( talk) 15:09, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
We flew today and I checked the plane the vertical fin is aluminum but the rudder is fabric covered presumedly over steel. Arydberg ( talk) 20:38, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

I noticed in the caption for the photo showing the planform on the white 2-33; it says that the outboard wheels are used as anchor points in windy conditions. This is not correct from what I understand. The wheel and the bolts that hold them in place do not have the rating to keep it in place without sheering. There is, however, a ring mounted at the uppermost part of the strut which is the point that is used to keep the glider tied down. Thoughts on changing that caption? --Ribbit it's Toad573 01:52, 3 June 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toad573 ( talk • contribs)
