Status: online 		Hopefully its well done. I like the big size and overall looks. Sandor doing an LG will make it a great combination (I used the Jet1A in a Boomerang XL).
Sandor, go and hurry up... I will be at Jetpower looking for it

Thank you for your answer.
Do you know if the L39 have washout on the wing like the second version of the JL T45(not present on the first version and many crasch )
Digitech, do you have some photos for your landing gear.Do you have the price?. What is the problem on the JetLegend ?
what is the size of engine do you think to use on the model? P 120? P 160?
thank you
regards

There is nothing wrong with the Jetlegend supplied landing gear. It is actually built very well and has a near scale appearance.

The customers in the UK who have bought or seen the retracts have praised its' quality and performance.

I don't know whether there is washout in the wing but i'll have a look and let you know. Not every wing requires washout anyway...

The first L39 I sold here has flown already. Built and flown by Mick Houselander; apparently it has rock solid performance and lands at walking pace.

He has an AMT Pegasus in his but a P120 sized turbine would be very good too.

Cheers

Jeff

there is no problem with the gear , but on rough landings on grass it will collapse and or break out.
that is why you can optional get a Jet-1A Gear for it..
price is on our website
p-120 is good , p-160 has more overkill factor.
the L-39 is to scale so no changes needed , we have flown almost all versions out there , and they are easy to fly.

Status: offline 		I just saw two kits of the JL L-39 in Rotor Hobby in Singapore.... Really well made, absolutely value for money.
Actually... I was so impressed about the content of the kit that I bought one, although I came there for some small R/C stuff !
This should fly very well with the P-120, wheels are really big too, should work perfectly on grass fields too.
I am only a bit surprised about size of the the fuel tanks... they could have easily made plugs for 2x2 liters in China, so would satisfy P-160 owners and the like too.
I got the impression the present ones are just a bit too small.
Also the bypass looks a bit undersized (but I can be wrong) and I would replace the back end with a metal bellmouth (P-160's get very hot at the business end !)
For the rest, nothing but praise... very well engineered, finishing is great (except for the obvious seams they didn't fight with filler, but you don't look at such a model at close distance), and everything was installed and very very comprehensive. I also saw the landing gear, very robust. At first impression : little can be improved.
There is no manual only two 1:1 plans ; I'd rather had had some recommendations on servos and throws...
But yes : I haven't seen it flying nor have I started building it. So, no total impression so far.
But once again : superb quality for a very very affordable price !

Nicolas.

yes they are exactly as you describe them..
the bypass is fine , i have now fitted a ulysses aprox 140N inside it , i have built it almost 98% i could not finisch it in time to fly it.
however it will be present at our stand to see it.
i think the fueltanks can hold 4 liters but there is also plenty of space on top of those tanks to put a extra one.

Status: offline 		Spoke to Mick (Houselander) on Sunday and he has been struggling to get enough power to do a big loop despite having 32lb of thrust from an AMT Pegasus.

General consensus was that it was possibly undersized ducting not allowing the turbine to perform properly???? Perhaps a P120 would be a good option?

Rgds,
Mark

The AMT Pegasus should have enough power for this bird... Maybe an early version ??

Sandor, I need my ordered small stuff quickly now ! Sent you an e-mail this morning... thanks !
