Stock fuel fittings work great. I'm running a kingtech 260 and have had no issues.

Enjoy, Its an awesome jet!!!
Hi guys, I'm building my T3 and the holes at the wing clamps are not 3mm, nor 4mm. The holes for 3mm are big and for 4mm are small. I'm thinking to make them 4mm but maybe it's an imperial size screw? Does anybody know? Please help!

Thanks in advance,
Makis.

I didn't write it correctly, the screws at the wing clamps are ok. I'm talking about the hole on the metal tab in front of the wing (photo attached). Anybody know about the screw thread? Maybe is 4-40?
Thanks in advance,
Makis

Yes they're metric, since nobody responded then, I found the solution from my own. The T3 is an awesome jet, really flies on rails!!

I have a T1-Mini and I'm thinking of either getting a T1 or T3, I know there are some big differences between these jets can someone tell me the main flight characteristic differences with these compared to a Mini T1 and which one would you buy?

Thank You!!

As far as the T1 would you say its more forgiving in slowing down for a landing then the Mini i guess what also im saying is it less prone to tip stalls?

Thx for your help!!

I have been flying both since 2018, I don’t find either to be tip stall prone, I do use crow (up ailerons) in the landing mode in all the jets, I can do slow pass with either….I don’t really know how else to answer this, not sure if my slow pass with the t-1 are slower then the Mini….to me all jets are slightly different and demand sometime slightly different techniques.

Question T3 Pneumatic Main Stuts?

How do you fill the Main struts to increase the air pressure or is it filled with oil on the T3 Pneumatic Main Stuts?

Thx!!

I have flown all three. They all fly well but the bigger they get the slower they land. All land fine but my vote would be for the T1 or T3. If budget allows go for the T3!!!!
