Not sure if this will work but here is the first minute of the maiden flight. Needed down trim and right aileron trim hence why I was making left hand circuits ;)

My friends having issues getting the landing video uploaded to my dropbox. Hopefully he gets it figured out so I can share it as well.

Just printing up some rocket pods to play with although I do like the wing tanks and it really adds to the look!

Also one last question, do you all use velcro or the included anti slip pad in conjunction with the velcro strap to secure your batteries

Cheers

It is heavier than some but not nearly as bad as if you add the 3DP cockpit bits.


I did put in the 3d cockpit bits lol maybe that's why it seems so heavy but like radar guy said its no problem..just heavy lol

[Radar-Guy]

is it just me or has anyone noticed that the cockpit assembly on the L39 weighs a ton lol

Yes, but that’s no problem at all.

Well finally got around to flying this jet! Dead calm sunny day so couldn’t ask for better conditions. I managed to get 3 flights in. First flight went for five minutes as I got caught up trimming and I literally landed as the motor died! My mate got it on video so will post it up once I get a copy. Was a perfect landing too! 2nd and 3rd flights were real fun with the 3rd having the external tanks attached. Both flights I’m starting my landing at 3-1/2 minutes so still have plenty of reserve. Planes a ***** cat in the air and has the feel of a larger jet. I was also flying one of my turbine sport jets today and this felt just as locked in.

Really happy with this one! certainly grooves along and is surprisingly manoeuvrable.

Looking forward to many more flights!!

Thanks for the info as i started last night to print. I have a Maker13 shop near by and took the intro to 3D printing so as to be able to use their machines, Ultimaker 3's. So instead of printing some novelty item, i used the joystick file and printed those as my "test". Still not sure ill get my own printer but its a start.

You will find a link to the files under the „Support“ tab

I may be late to the 3D upgrade bandwagon but im looking for the cockpit parts. I dont see the files or the parts available on the MRC item page as was first given but i looked under the upgrade tab and no files or printer parts listed.
As i don't have a 3D printer yet and i do have a place i can print, a Maker13 community shop, i would prefer to just ask if some one can print these as im not proficient yet to just go in and print.

My nav lights and spare plastic parts arrived from Motion today so got the beacon and strobe installed. Really happy on how they turned out.

Couldn’t get the video to embed so here’s a link

Also Waiting on a new 3d printer to arrive hopefully this week as my current one finally died. Going to add the antennas and nose gear mod. Weathers not looking good for flying this weekend so will spend it getting the install and balance finalised and hopefully maiden the following week

[RichJ53]
