MB339 - which one?
I have an AT 280 and am looking at which MB339 I should get. Was thinking of the little CC one since I fly from grass and a little extra power wouldn't hurt. Thoughts?

RE: MB339 - which one?
I spent 6 months looking and deciding the same thing and ended up buying the 1/5.5 scale C&C 2m one.
I wanted a practical scale jet that I could also compete with and the C&C one was the only one that ticked all the boxes. i.e. fly off grass, strong undercarriage, land slow, scale accurate with scale cockpit available and easy to transport.
The design is clever in that the fuselage splits just behind turbine so if needed you can easily remove the complete tail section with only four screws and two servo leads, rather than other models which are not practical to split due to having the join in front of the turbine.

Deno (Bigplumbs) is right. The wing did come off but this was due to a construction error by the builder which has been resolved very amicably. Excellent support from Henry at ModellbauUSA
Important to get the construction right and if incorrect any model will fail in flight.
Still an excellent model for the money. I have 2 blue and one unpainted gelcoat white if anyone is interested.

What's the price... and what would it cost to ship it to the USA? (Postal/zip Code 15636)

Don't think it make much sense shipping them back to USA !!
We tried for ages last year to get the economically shipped here and ended up buying something else before modellbau UK came about.
Think you would be better off Tony contacting Modellbau USA/troy built models or whoever sells them in USA

Read the threads and be informed if you are still happy then buy.
Perhaps Modelbau UK needs another special deal
