I added sidewinder missiles instead of the tanks and saved a little frag and think it looks better especially on the camo version.

If your anything like me you will get some hangar rash when moving your L39 in and out of the basement or shop inherent with foamies . Also in my case I got some damage when I lost control the other day. Pilot error. In case you need some touch up paints for the camo version of the L39 I got mine at Home Depot Paint section. They did pretty good job of matching them up. I had them mix satin for the gray underside and drop tanks, and the camo is flat latex samples. they cost like $3.90 for each sample jar.

Can you share paint labels from home depot?

Although it tends to disappear in the distance the cam has great quality and the video was great. What cam are you using?

Hi urrl, thanks for your kind words. I'm using a GoPro Hero5!

Nice flight and video ! Your hat cam has better video then a lot of people using cameras to film so keep up the good work.

Hello all new to Hobby Squawk but not to RC. I fly all scale gas warbirds and since everyone at my field seems to have at least one EDF i decided to get one. There were a lot of Avantis and i flew a club members and why it does fly great i am a military junkie so i decided to get the L 39 camo version after reading the reviews and seeing them fly. If anyone has been using the Admiral RX600SP on this plane or any other EDF can you tell me if you have been happy with it? The reviews on MotionRC are 4.8/5 with over 340 reviews but i have never used anything but Spektrum RX and i just want to make sure there are no issues.

Thanks
Charlie

The Admiral receivers are working great on 4 of my jets and 2 of my warbirds. At this price point the quality and operation have been awesome.

Now $399... We knew the inrunner would raise the price, Motion told us so. When I bought mine it was $349 and the most expensive 80mm FW EDF. It was worth it. Great flying and had lots of scale features including quite a few lights. Then Motion raised prices... $385. Now $399. I still think it's a great deal for an awesome flying plane.

L39 now standard with the 1857kv inrunner. I'm a big fan of this move to inrunners!!

My favorite jet but looking forward to the new Freewing AL37 airliner.

Oh crap, was fooling around with flaps and lost control too low. Almost headed toward the pits so i dumped it. Analyzing damage and ordered parts today. I love that camo L39. Dont take your eyes off of it when making low passes!

Did you crank the servo tester dial from end to end a couple of cycles? The click may mean that it's just reset itself because the dial was at the wrong end.

Yes i did i have tried other tests as well with the same issue. Motion is sending me a new retract they have great customer service.

Getting ready for the maiden and the nose gear wont retract anyone else run into this issue? I put the nose gear retract on a servo tester and i hear a faint click sound and thats it.
