Default RE: RClander T33 for 90 or 120mm edf

When you see the video, you'll understand that the taxi test was in an office park, so take-off was not an option. Most folks with a similar setup on the T-33 have been coming in around 10.5lbs but I have not weighed mine yet. Users that are going with larger 5AH packs are placing one up front where mine are and the second one behind it. So to answer your question, yes they will fit but not side by side.

We used three different cameras and I had some difficulties with various resolutions and FOV settings. One of the cameras produced an MOV file which had to be converted to MP4 for editing. We're still on the learning curve with the new tools.

The only issue seen with the T-33 was the front strut came loose. You can see it wobble as the jet approaches the camera. The screw that holds the front fork in place vibrated loose. It had no thread locker on it so I coated it with Locktite before I tightened it up back home.
