thanks

I found when installing the wing tanks it sure was easy, because of the tight fit, for them to become unplugged.

I thought about that so I tested them at the wing board and they worked fine. Anyhow for some reason they work now when the gear is down ????. Still may plug them in to stay on

Everything appears to be in the correct place on the board in the wing. I may just bypass the board and have them on permanent, shouldn’t use much juiceStuart is here to show you how you can keep the landing lights on all the time for your new Freewing L-39 Albatros and goes for a tandem flight.

Owe an update here after having been flying the Albatros for the past weeks. That the flight is absolutely delicious we already know from all the positive feedback from the guys, even that it is efficient but did not expect it to be to this extent. The past days we have been flying the Albatross perfectly at around 35 / 40% throttle stick, cruising around comfortably and even at a very reasonable speed squeezing up to 6min out of the stock setup..what and amazing flier and how aerodinamic the design is. Yet to see it stall too... Initially I had my timer set at 3min but ultimately after taxiing back my radio shows -3min with a voltage of 3.80V per cell. I could still squeeze it up to more than 6min I am sure. Kudos Motionrc & Freewing!

This part will help support the nose wheel retract when it is extended. I used the rubber cement that came with the plane kit to glue it in place. Make sure that it sits about 1mm below the top of the retract bay to allow room for the nose gear door to close. It is best to install it when the plane is new. If you are installing it in an older plane that has fore and aft play make sure that it is installed flush with the back wall of the retract bay. If you push a worn retract forward it will change the caster angle and cause the ground handling to be questionable. There will be still be play moving forward on a worn retract.
I've already printed one and installed it. Works perfectly!
I think that is a very smart idea. There is no one near who has a 3D printer so I'll make one out off aircraft plywood.

I always thought people mounted these right on top of the servo. At least I thought that was what I had seen people do on Avantis. I have one I am gonna install on my FW Bae Hawk and didn't even think about putting it further down like that.

Fashioned a HUD using thin aircraft ply and a material called Solyx. This stuff is a pretty good for HUD material. It’s transparent but also has a “prism” effect that reflects light at different colors depending on the angle viewed. Samples of this material can be purchased cheaply.2 Photos
