The L-39 uses a one piece wing, so the flexible wing harnesses are nestled safely in the center, with zero load on them from wing rock, etc.

[SIZE=12px][FONT=sans-serif][COLOR=black]Hi Andrew,
The L-39 uses the new Multi-Function Control Board-E ("MFCB-E"), which, as a universal device being rolled out among many models, contains more options than any one model will use. For example, the L-39 uses only four LEDs, but that MFCB-E has seven LED ports. Technically the user can plug into any port other than the factory configuration, or, buy more LEDs separately and plug and play! Similarly, the L-39's MFCB has different port options for the gear doors. Single stage, or dual stage. In the stock configuration, the retracts are connected to the dual stage circuit, on anticipation of people adding their own inner gear doors and servos. The stock delay is the common 3 seconds, same as most other aircraft from Freewing and FlightLineRC and FMS, etc. Here's a shot of the opposite side, showing the receiver outputs and the LED inputs. Note that now users can mix and match between an array of LED input ports. Triple Flash, Dual Flash, Landing Light (on only when gear is down), Single Blink, and Steady On. We'll cover the two new MFCBs in a video coming soon. The other MFCB is larger and supports multi-motor, multi-ESC, UBEC, afterburner, and other options found on our more complex aircraft. Technically these MFCBs can be used in any aircraft. We've even tested them for vibration and shock, on our helicopters and larger aircraft.

Twowingtj, since you mentioned the plastic cockpit tub, I'll post a pic here, It's not a worldbreaking innovation, but for what it is in terms of Simple-Yet-Effective, I like it and insisted it be on the final model. The L-39's cockpit is big and there's lot of visual space, so it made sense to line it with plastic to ward away alligatoring.

Of course, they're thin enough where those of us planning to repaint the model can simply paint right over everything with a coat of primer then customize from there. As always, I recommend painting directly over the factory paint since the factory paint bonds best to the foam, instead of removing the factory paint and trying to get back to bare foam.

I'm stoked to get mine and I LOVE the color scheme you choose!
