RE: The Aermacchi MB339 is here agian
Finally did the maiden today, P70 for power, came in at 21.5lbs. flew very well landing was very predictable. might need a little up elevator with full flaps, pitched down slightly.
the only thing noticable was some dutch roll, I do not have the fins on the rear , I will put them on for the next flight and hopefully that will correct it.
I have always said this was a nice jet and figured it wouild fly great, some quality issues on the factory assembly (gluing) and the instructions suck..everyone who has one knows that.
I believe that Modellbau has suspended the production, if they fix the little things that people have discussed on the forum and make it a bit more of an ARF they will have a winner...thay already do have one, it was just a little frustrating to build and fix some of the difficiencies. Everyone at the field today loved it
Looking forward to the next time out with it.
