Sam51401, the Geeetech A10 looks a lot like the Ender3. Are you using a particular slicing software? We may want to take this over to the 3D Printing thread as you will likely get a lot more assistance from those with a lot more knowledge than even myself.

For anyone looking for that "special", not doing cookie cutter scheme, here is mine I finished and flew at the Jet Jam this weekend.
Contact Callie if your fine working with large graphics on compound curves. Stock from box on electrics and using Roaring Top 5000 6s 45c. Flight tip, front of battery was placed 1/4" aft of front edge of battery tray. Very neutral cg location as invert takes little to NO elevator to maintain level. Sweet spot found!

After flying the L-39 for a few months I decided it was time for a fresh look. I have seen the Patriots Jet Team perform multiple times at the Reno Air Races. So I figured, why not? Introducing the Freewing 80mm Motion RC, Callie Graphics, Patriots #6 L-39. The only problem is, with the shiny black finish, it’s now allergic to prolonged direct sun exposure. I’ll have to be careful! I also added a Gooniac afterburner. So cool. Can’t go without thanking Callie Graphics for the custom Patriots vinyl. Awesome. And goes without saying, thanks to Motion RC for the awesome jets and great service.

Looks amazing! I just finished my first (very basic) attempt at re-painting the L-39. How did you manage to mask the lines without pulling up the underlying paint? Well done!
I decanned the paint and just touched up where needed adn all was well.

Small request for future builds. Especially with the red white and blue one. On the canopy, is it possible to paint a grey on the paint mask first, then a white over the top? That way looking through the side of the canopy at the inner canopy frame, it’s not the same color (white) as the outside? ...or would that cause the white on the outside to be the wrong shade in the paint process?
Thanks!

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!

Viper thank you. Yes i did go but i must have missed it. Either way i got it sorted out. The bb mfc failed on rudder. I bypassed all my control sufaces on all my jets. I dont trust the bb this is my 3rd freewing aircraft where the bb failed.
The L-39 is unbelievably amazingly stable. Very predictable. One of the easiest planes i have ever flown. :Cool:
