Hi,
I understand that this pnp comes with servos and power distribution namely the Dualsky Gemini 3108, GDW or Dualsky servos. Do you fly with those stock electronics or you opt out for better electronics components? Just wondering anybody have good result with their stock electronics?

So due to time, weather and circumstance I finally got my new L39 into the air. I have to tell you, man I love this jet. I forgot how smooth and easily it flies and yet how agile it can be at the same time. It really is a great flyer. And low passes with the smoke on just look incredible. I forgot how much fun it is. I also forgot how much fuel I can burn through in a day lol, especially at these prices. On my original L39 I would have a bit of an issue with the nose gear door not closing unless I am straight and level on take off. So when I built this one I changed the servo geometry for the nose gear door and reinforced the vertical plates. Problem solved. However, on this jet, I had a problem with the right main door not closing all the way. Initially I thought this may be a geometry issue also but now I just think it may be the servo as it did not feel very smooth when I cycled it by hand. I will play with it and see. I did not really have any issues with the brakes but I am using a LG15 controller and as I flew on grass it is a bit easier to stop. Anyone on the fence for a large L39 should strongly give this one some consideration.
Thanks,
Tone

The flight envelope is incredible as the jet will happily fly slow or fast, inverted or perform knife edge with ease, landings are slow and smooth and flight times are well beyond what I require. I’m yet to add smoke so this will be the next thing ill install 😊

My Feedback: (37)
I received my L39 from Peter several months ago and just now started working on it. It came unpainted in white gell coat with some black paint stripe painted on. It is now primer and ready for paint. Powering it with a Jet Central 160, this will be my second turbine jet, currently fying a Skymaster Viper 2m. I had an Aerofoam L39 EDF and that was a great flyer, I just needed bigger and longer flight time. Hope it fly just as easy as the Aerofoam!

I was in a similar situation, I had the HSD L-39 and upgraded to the Baja L-39, im sure you will love it!
Using both fuel tanks (4.6ltr) and running a Jets Munt 166ts I fly for 10 - 12 min with plenty of reserve, however im going to swap the 1.5ltr tank over to smoke soon so that will shorten the flight time although I might add another 500ml tank for a little reserve fuel.
