I have a 12 blade fan, 1850 KV motor and 100A ESC from my Mig-21, I put a 9 blade fan and 1900kv setup in it.

In your opinion and experience, did you find that the 12-blade, 1850kv was improved upon in your Mig-21 with the new setup? Did it have more punch? I think the 1900kv set up is what's in the A-10 and Avanti S?

Thanks, guys. That's very interesting and encouraging to hear. I bought this fan/motor for my Mirage not knowing that it already was the "high speed" version. That kinda worked out for the best since this allows me to buy the L-39 ARF Plus. I say "kinda" because I wasn't really planning on it since I'm very satisfied with my Avanti S. I also have a spare 100A and 130A ESC hanging around, so getting into the L-39 isn't quite as wallet draining as it could have been. Soon, I'll have TWO very enjoyable and satisfying EDFs to play with.
I was worried that maybe I should have purchased the 12-blade instead. I only just realized that's what's in my Avanti S and I love how short a distance is uses to take off from my lumpy, bumpy, grass field. Top end is neither here nor there for me at 3500' altitude. It's the getting off the ground quickly that's important for me. From what you guys have just told me, the 9-blade should not disappoint in the L-39. With 2 of them in my A-10, that plane works so well at my field.

Originally posted by Monty500 View PostMotion, Bajora, it looks like there is a flat area behind the MFCB. Is this suitable for mounting a stabilized receiver like a Spektrum 9350?Originally posted by Quickstop View Post
If it fits, it's suitable. I was thinking the same thing for my Lemon stabilized receiver

I thought I should mention that we are not going to make a new announcement at Nall in the fall. The timing is not working out.

Here is the best shot I can share to show you what is behind the board. That IS where I have my receiver mounted. You may have to "level" that area off with a piece of styrene or thin balsa? There is a square inset in the foam there. A receiver may nestle nicely into this inset however. Mine kinda sits atop of it. But I would say yes, you should be able to mount a gyro equipped receiver there for sure.
That's where the receivers are mounted in each of our test birds here at the factory, as well. With the L-39's large cockpit piece, we were able to stretch the platform forward to give easy access to a gyroceiver behind the MFCB.
