Official Freewing 80mm EDF L-39 Albatros Thread

And for anyone wanting to convert his L39 into turbine, the post I just created might be of interested to him :):

A mate of mine and myself designed some fpv stand alone modules that attached to the wings like jetison tanks, added weight was almost 400 gr, the L39 did not really care and flew just as good as always..just needs a little bit more speed when landing. So, I cannot see aaaaaany problem at all flying with the 6000mAh.

Has anyone tried out the new Admiral 6s 6000 pro in the L-39? Did flight times improve despite the potential extra weight? And CG issues?
Thanks!

It's not the L-39 but the principles are the same. Flight times for the F-18 went up. I think it will be the same for the L-39. The 6000 battery weighs just over 100g more than the recommended 5000mah. That's barely 4 oz. It's like adding a pimple on a large wart. The L-39 has a huge battery compartment with lots of room to move the battery back to compensate for added weight.
Personally, I'm just fine with the 5000mah batteries in these planes. I usually fly several planes and each one multiple times each day I go, so increasing flight time by even a couple of minutes doesn't mean anything to me.

One? from what I've seen they won't stay with just one, get another....easy:Cool:Whenever I loosen just one, it comes loose, it seems to be the pressure of one against the other that holds it in.

I Have to retap the hole now and find a bigger screw. Had to drill out the stripped one (thanks freewing)

[Quickstop]

So today I started painting and taking apart my plane, only to find that the right retract had a fully stripped Allen screw on the back. Has anyone else found this from the factory? I had no other choice but to drill it out which was very frustrating considering the small work quarters. I really hope they stay on with only one left in it.

It's the 2836 3300 kv motor 12 blade fan with 40 amp esc, I have some 60 amp esc laying around some cobra ones from my race wings.. or should I just get a bigger 4s pack like a 2500 mah 80 or 100 c packs?

[Aj L88]

I have the 4s set up.the f22 64mm raptor.. I've been running admiral 2200 60c pro packs and having my tinerr set for 3 mins and batteries are really hot. They have puffed after less than 10 flights. Question is how can I use my 5s packs ? They are 2200 80c 5s rdq liops

Tried to take some early morning "glamour shots" of my new paint yesterday. Heavy fog hindered the process.
