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?


Joe

I had the FB MB 339 that was flown with a Ram 1000 (28 lbs of thrust on a good day), similar power as your 280.

Dave, what were your impressions of the FB? Did you fly off grass?

Joe

I could do you a good deal on ModellbauUSA MB339

PM me if interested<br type="_moz" />

PM sent. Thanks!

There are a couple of threads here on this particular MB339 in particular you need to read about the wing fixing as one person had their plane fall apart in the air. Just a heads up

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

I agree, the only way I could econimically bring them into the UK was with a shipment of Tornados &amp; Sabres

Regardless of what the person selling this plane says. There are several problems with it that will need to be sorted out.(These are all doable but do need work). This model is not sold/made anymore and I fear support will not be forthcomming. If I were you I would read the threads on here before you buy. On those threads you can of course get the views of the customers like me that have this model rather than those from someone that seem to want to shift items that they have bought and are perhapshaving trouble selling.

Read the threads and be informed if you are still happy then buy.

Perhaps Modelbau UK needs another special deal

Joe,

The Fei Bao and Skymaster MB 339s have been around for while. IMO, both models area pretty solid airframes.

Sounds a bit like MB339 Ping Pong
