It is, but the 33 is still 2 1/2" wider than the 35, yet still more
The 33's envelope goes two inches farther aft but starts two inches
farther aft too because the tail weighs more.
Gotcha...I was thinking of something else and did a reference fart.
There are 33s and then there are 33s and there is a big difference
between useful load and CG. Early 33s (prior to 74) had roughly a
100# useful load while those after had a 1400# useful load. I don't
know about the ones near the end of the production run.
With the early ones you didn't have much worry about CG change with
fuel burn either.
