Thete is another tray in box that I couldn't figure it out , pretiate it if someone tell me about it ( see the photo )
will sent the first flight video soon ,
it is for the battery mounting option. usually the battery is on the nose for maiden. if you fell it is nose heavy after maiden. you can move it to the front of the tank. then use this tray.

Tony,

You mentioned that turbine used in your predator is a K260 but kingtech is only offering a K210 or K310 to my knowledge, thanks advising.

Hi,
nice color!
I use 3 , 2200 mAh , 2 for receiver and 1 for retract system , all 3 installed in front and turbine battery installed in front of tank , my Turbine is BF140F and with this setup CG is ok.
Brakes engages when Receiver is off and use 500mAh , its better to disconnect retract battey,

..... My Predator is power by ENJET-120 12 kg trust turbine engine ...

the given CG point by Pilotrc is very accurate .... with the measure tool given is very easy to check the CG of the jet , i just got it abit head heavy for the maiden flight !

i uploaded checking C of G in YouTube..





The Predator is very easy to fly and land ... just Love it !!! ..... it flies like a pattern plane to me , straight like an arrow !
