Another thing Alpha, I have been flying RC since 1993. That L-39 is the best RC plane I have ever owned. It's fast, sounds good, flight times are great, and the gear just absorbs our rough runway. It looks the part too.
I am pretty sure we have two club members ordering this week after seeing mine fly this past Sunday. We flew formation with the 90mm F-4 several times that day. Everybody just loves this bird when they see it fly.
It might be the best jet you guys have ever made. It's a contender for that spot anyway.
Some 100mph formation flying fun. We were actually battling some pretty good gusts this day.

If you plan on using your own "very bright" LEDs, be sure to take into consideration the amp draw of the LED. To stay on the safe side, you don't want to exceed 5A total throughout the MFCB.
We've got some new lighting options including higher power LED drivers coming after Chrismas. I'll show a preview next month. Some of it is very novel, and very bright.

The MFCB's LED ports each output 5V, and yes, as long as the MFCB is powered, the integrated logic still will output the signals on each of the ports' respective flashing pattern. Plugging in the 1W LEDs that are included in most of our modern LED sets and PNPs from Freewing/FlightLine for example, is fine.
If you plan on using your own "very bright" LEDs, be sure to take into consideration the amp draw of the LED. To stay on the safe side, you don't want to exceed 5A total across the rail. **EDITED to say "you don't want to exceed 5A total throughout the entire MFCB**

I used a couple of left-over LED's from the GT Power kit that MRC sells (and HK). They are 5mm LED's and work fine. I added a strobe to the tail and a beacon on the underside of the fuselage. I plugged my red beacon into the "Strobe" outlet and the strobe into the "double flash" outlet.Meridian Aeromodelers, Meridian MS

I've used the 5mm LEDs also in the strobe and beacon ports. They work great, are cheap, readily available from various retailers, and are lightweight. However, I did have a red 5mm LED burn out when plugged into the Constant On port. I'm only going to use them in the flashing ports that aren't on all the time.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream
