Hi guys, I did the maiden on the Skymaster L-39 for a customer. This one was powered by a Jet Central Falcon, producing 23lbs of thrust. All I can say is WOW... The L-39 fly's awesome, very stable and the Falcon gave it more than enough power. Only half throttle was used for regular flight.
Takeoff was very easy and smooth.
Flight was very predictable and the jet was very easy to fly. I was impressed on how slow this jet can fly...
Landing was as easy as all the rest of the flight, it does float a lot so you need to loose speed before getting to final. When on the floor be nice on the brakes to keep it stable.

Well no more words and some action... Check the video...
