I've been looking at one of these. I notice this thread has been quiet for a long time. If anyone is still here, what are your thoughts on this jet?

Searching here on RCU brings up threads which bring into question the integrity of the airframe, the fit and finish of the exhaust tube, single-wall tube causing fuselage heat issues, etc.


Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info.

Any worries about replacement parts now that MBUSA no longer sells these kits?

If anything went wrong I don't think I'm going to need spares, it goes fast and smooth,with wing fences it is very resistant to stalls, it lands at a very controllable speed,had it for a long time and no problems, a few hangar dents that can be an easy fix, but the finish is very resistant and strong.

Nice plane for the price, if you can get a hold of one I feel they are worth it.

Very good, thanks for the info.

Yes, I am looking at trading my Nano for a K80-powered -339. Must admit my K60 Nano flies really well, too!

Yeah nano is great flying but wood and mono, can't beat composite (I feel personally) specially in jets, and if you wanna go up a notch in getting into scale flying I feel this is a good way, in jets...

there is a reason they no longer sell it, I had one that lasted 4 flights, a lack of proper building and adhesive in the wing resulted in failure. a good portion of the wing spar was not bonded to the wing Skin as well as other places. Nice Jet poorly built in areas that are not visible

No support from them at all, I would quit flying before I would buy another one of their Jets

That's what worries me about this jet. Seems like for every good experience, there's a horror story.

After some thought, I've decided to pass on this version of the -339. I know some folks have had no problems at all, but I can't help but think that this jet is "rare" (and discontinued) for a reason.

I saw these 3D printed jets at Jet Power. They were very cool but I think a separate thread to discuss them would be best
