1:3.75 scale 2.95M MB339 Daniel Design build thread
I rarely do build threads these days but I thought I would do one on the 1:3.75 scale from Daniel Design.
This kit is designed and manufactured by Daniel Socionovi in Italy. It is marketed on CModels website.
These kits are hand made and take time to get, typically 6 ~ 9 months.
I got mine last September and built it over the winter.
This is definitely a build for an experienced builder.. This is not an easy kit to build, it is not like your typical CARF kits who i consider the best ARF's since you can built CARFs kits in two weeks due to their quality of finish, completeness, and quick build features already incorporated in them.
A lot of building decisions are left to the modeler in this MB339. It takes time and patience.
Since I did not document a build, i will post all my build pics and videos in one shot plus the test flight video at the end.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Specs:
Wingspan: 2.95M
Length: 3M
Air frame weight: 9kgs
Turbine class: 160/200
Airex-fiberglass Sandwich construction
• 3 paint scheme on demand
• Easy to build
• Easy to fly
• flies well on a 160 class turbine
• Pre-installed retracts support
• Pre-installed turbine support
• Removable wings and elevator
• Removable fin
• Hardware included
• 5L fuel tank included

I decided from the start to use a Behotec 220 which is the only engine i fly in all my models since all are in the 2.5 - 3M class models.
Also decided to use MKS777 HV servos but I used a PowerBox BaseLog to regulate the 2 cell LiPos to 7.4V.
I also used a Jeti radio with a CB200 and 3 satelite Rxs so I can turn on and off the model from the radio as you will see in the build steps short video.
I also made a uniLIGHT light kit which works very well.
