Default Balancing a Kyosho T-33 ?

Could someone please tell me where to balance a Kyosho T-33 electric ducted fan jet? To my surprise, they don't have that info on the internet.

The instructions call for 40-42mm behind where the leading edge sweep intersects the main leading edge of the wing. I found the best CG to be a few mm behind that. This is a nice flying plane with a 7 cell pack, but even better with an 8 cell pack.

Thanks, Ryan

I got this thing used and the receiver doesn't seem to be working. I hope it just needs charging, which is something I won't be able to do till this weekend. This plane came with a 7-cell pack but with all the openings smoothed out for better air-flow. I'll let you know how it flies when I get to try it.

I fly mine totally stock with a 7 cell pack, but have seen what they can do with eight. Make sure you have some separation between the receiver and the speed control, since it is handling around 30 amps.

Default Kyosho T-33

Had mine in a box for a few years, & now have all the parts ready to go.

Decided on 7-cell 8.4v 2000mah batteries to start, & will leave all the stickers & decals off to keep weight minimal....
Should be ready for next weekend.
