HSD T-33 for Turbine or 105mm Ducted fan

[wolpertinger]

Saw the new HSD T33 at a jet event this weekend. It was the silver turbine version. Seemed to fly well with an 80 size.
Wonder how the EDF version will be. Hope that there is no Change Sun edf unit... the ones that came in my others were yanked out due to poor performance.

Andy, of RC Jetwerx told me his new T33 is about 22lbs wet with the SW80 installed. He told me that it fly's very well too..... So with that said, xxxxxx this news just in

EDIT:
Andy of RC Jetwerx, the EDF version of the T33 will be 120mm fan unit for 12S and he is expecting a container of them mid December 2019

That's really exciting to hear.

This was Andy’s maiden flight back in February using his prototype that arrived just ahead of the crate. Andy was very conservative in his flight so that he could get a feel for it, and to get it dialed in the way he likes it and for it’s best settings. Pilot Ryan recently flew and filmed this same one. Ryan really had a great time flying it.

The big question is when is ours getting here 😝😝😝 can’t wait to rip the sky’s of sunny Florida up with this bird. It’s on order can’t wait to film this bird. We love our HSD super viper

I've preordered mine and Andy said they should start shipping about mid May.

Balancing my EDF T33 where are you balancing your T33 to? Inverted or upright?

CG set at 190mm gear up, just to make it easier I balanced mine upright. Sure is a pain to flip that big bird.

Just picked one of these up, hope to get it flying soon, I have to say one thing, it's very nice and looks great but it's huge, I didn't realize how big it was until I went to pick it up from the guy I bought it from, I have an older 94 Ford F-150 extended cab and had to lay the fuselage by itself diagonal with the passenger seat folded forward and it just fit, the rest was in the box so it fit in the bed, my first large EDF, fit finish is excellent, control horns are nice and strong along with the rods, gear looks great too.
