MotionRC is all about choices and with the 3DP upgrade parts the choice is all yours ;) Files will be available to download on the top tab of the listing for free for printing yourselves or alternatively they will be available to purchase under the upgrades tab and should come with a bass white ready for your own finishing paint. Below are examples of the 3DP parts painted by Alpha with just a few hours work. I think you can all see the results talk for themselves:

Where can I download the 3D printing files for the L39 cockpit and accessories?
I have tried searching but cannot find the files.
thanks

I just completed the main gear doors on my L-39 after struggling for ages to get the 2nd one to work. The first door went well and operated fine right off the hop, the other one not so much (go figure). Hours of fiddling but finally got both working reliably on the bench and hopefully in the air. As can be seen the opening and closing is quite abrupt but such is the nature of mechanical, as opposed to servo, operation I guess. I've used an elastic to hold the doors open but will try to source some springs at some point- there's a fine line between what feels like enough spring tension to hold the doors open in flight and too much tension which stalls the retracts as they try to close the doors.
I just hope the retracts continue to work for awhile as they've been subjected to maybe a thousand or so cycles in the last few days!

Well it happen but State Farm cant cover that. Seems my 6s 6250 may have took a hit as it lost control even after pulling power to nill and still no control regained. Tested battery on internal IR and total was 15ohm with average of 2.5 ohms on each cell so not sure. All radio checks fine but when I plugged the battery up and tested at 25-30% power it dropped like a rock on the cell checker. Just as i was turning base to land too!
Good news in this, really, you think? Yes the Dragon is still fully intact and im thinking of a Frankenstein resurrection of graphing a new fuse to the front from the intakes forward. What would you do?

Maybe someone can help me i have 5 flights on my L39 and on the 5th flight i took off and put the gear up and when i came around for my first pass i noticed my nose gear door was not closed so i landed. While on the ground i turned the plane over and cycled the gear and the nose gear and one of the main gear only go up about 80% of the way. I have had no hard landings has anyone else had this issue or with any other freewing jet?

Hey guys!
Do any of you have any pictures or other details on what you used to touch up your wing tip tanks? I need some of that blue and am not sure about the following:- Type of paint (acrylic, latex, other?)
- Color combinations/numbers you guys have used after getting a color match
- Any place that will send said paint from online

I’ve been following this thread and wanted to post that I got my maiden in today and all I can say is ... looks like I’ve got a new everyday plane ! Had a blast !! Only needed a few clicks of down trim and it was flying hands off .. I’m flying it with HRD 5000’s and it seemed a little nose heavy. But was still able to make nose high landings .. sorry no video !
