Official Freewing 80mm EDF L-39 Albatros Thread

[Hardway]

L-39 is just a good flying jet... Really like it. And I was NOT excited when it was released.... :Straight-Face: But after flying her a few times, just wow. The F-22 is super sweet too, but just something about the way the L-39 handles makes it special, IMHO...;)

maidened mine today flew fine no trim at all fast when u want it and flys great at half throttle...I do have a bit of a cg problem..that is to say it seemed nose heavy so on nest flight moved the battery back some...that was a mistake it was really tail heavy and didn't want to nose down and land...guys how close to the front of the battery area do u put the batteries? iam using 4500 admirals

Mine was balanced right at the tape line on the bottom, with it upright and gear down place your fingertips at the red servo wire tape and see what it does? It should drop the nose a little or want to teeter for a moment, because we all use different batteries it's hard to say where to place your batt. My Gensace 5000 60c was about 5mm back from the front edge of the battery tray, I started with it right at the edge but moved it back and it flew great, sorry I don't have mine anymore to take pics, just sold it this week, I would think your 4500 would be at least forward of the tray some on the foam.?

thanks ill check it out with gear down rightside up etc think I had battery just on the front edge of the wood try

[GBLynden]

I am loving mine so far and am just waiting for decent weather to fly it!

Glad you like it, Radar-Guy! The L-39 was a monstrous hit for us, and we received many requests from both European and Stateside customers for this "Russian Camo" color scheme, so we decided to make it happen. It is unique enough from the Air Show demo scheme which was intended to highlight the sport/civil/acro use of the Albatros, and now with this new scheme we can contrast that with its military trainer heritage. The toughest part was translating all of those decals, AGAIN, to yet a different language. First it was Romanian text all over the airplane, now it's Russian. Thanks to those who helped us with the translation!

Did you really put Romanian text on a Slovakian airplane?:Confused:

[Alpha]

Slovakian was on the Slovakian L-39, Russian is on the Russian L-39. I must be thinking of a different Romanian, or I need a nap.

[Radar-Guy]

:Cool:Take a nap first, then tell us about that Romanian plane. 2 x 80mm ?

Yes.......here ;)

[Bajora]

Thanks for the photos George ... she DOES look great! WOW!

[Alpha]

Yes.......here ;)

In stock and ready to ship from both our US and EU warehouses. No pre-order on this bird. We kept this as a surprise until it was on the shelves since it's technically a Repaint and not a new release. Enjoy!

And seriously, thank you for your support, "|o?woohoo"

Thank you, thank you MRC, I was one of those that complained about the first livery release, but I bought one anyway, I flew it a few flights and just couldn't like that livery, so I sold it just last week and what a total surprise this morning to see this camo available, I couldn't hit the buy button fast enough.............:):)

[James]

[Twowingtj]
