Default Byron T-33

Hi guys,
Just got a virgin Byron T-33. I was wondering if there aere any building pitfalls with this kit. Or maybe areas that need to be beefed up a little? I'm going EDF so turbine re-enforcement is not needed.

I did a search here but could find much here on this kit - probably all the threads are older and not available anymore.

i put a ram 750 in mine, nice flying plane. As with most Byron planes they fly great and build relatively easily. They are built strong enough for grass field s and ducted fans so electrics should be no probllem as it is designed,

Ram-bro,
I saw yours earlier - great job. You still have it?

I like the flaps and speed boards you did. Any details or pics on those?

Dear r/c modeler,
I´m building a Byron T-33 with a Jet Cat P-80 SE. I´d like to know were did you fit the turbine, C.G. and wich fuel tank did you use. Did you change or reinforced some special part?
Regard!
Alejandro
