I was wondering if anyone was flying one of these L-159 Alca Bigger than Airworld's L-39 by a few Inches all the way around.

If so I'd like to know flying habits along with power plant. I just purchased one and wanted some feedback.

Thanks in Advance.................. Johnny Hernandez

Johnny, Wow, that bird looks great. A freind just got a Franz Walti L39 the large one and I was looking at getting one also. Who makes the kit you got, what is the kit & gear price and what is their web page.

Thanks

Hi Johnny,

I recently bought one of these too. Can't comment on the flying yet - the model's still to be finished off - but, for power, I'm going to use my AMT NL Pegasus HP ES (and probably only the first 50% of the throttle stick at any one time!)

Keep us informed on how yours goes.

Cheers,

Franz Walti it is Kevin, you'll love the exceptional detail in this Bird.

Hi Dick, I'm thinking in Dropping an FTE 750+ and probably a Rhino on the other. One of them is strictly a practice jet and the other will go to Top gun and WJM.

I honestly think that the FTE-750 + will be the best setup for it, I'll keep you guys posted after test flights sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Dick, if you are still on line who is the manufacturer of the kit shown???

Thanks

Kevin

Hi Johnny, thanks did not think youd be up at 2 am. Geronimo just got one, he is the builder of the AD fuaga with bright red wing tips he did an awsome job. what are the specs on your bird. JetTech web page is not working to show models??

Hi Kevin,

The one I have is from a German manufacturer called Grolz (I think that's the correct spelling). They have a website and, if I can find the address, I'll post ot to you.

Kevin,

The website for the manufacturer of my L-159 is:

http://www.goetz-gfk-modelle.com/Home.htm

It's a bit bare but the pictures give you an idea of what the model's like.

Hi again
this L-39 was designed/built from Martin Hoffmann in Germany. This one is much bigger then the L-39 from Airworld and also the L-159 from Goetz.

Hi Fritz,

Hi Dick

to much other jet projects !

Hi Johnny, I do not want to intercept your thread, but the sites listed in the above threads are not really clear, is there anyone who can list the leading manufacturers of the "L39-159" larger scale birds by actual wing span and length, and give an estimated price by USD standard. And maybe a description of quality, materials used in construction,and pros and cons of that kit. I would hate to spend $$$$ and realize I should have bought the "other" kit.

Thanks
