The rudder will be somewhat different than JL opted.
The servo will be pushed directly on the rudder.

Can you get enough torque on the rudder by mounting it that way?

A lot of guys seem to have changed the rudder setup and looking at it I will probably do the same on the one I am refitting.

Are the kits still coming from the factory the same way?

Yes. You must change it to prevent flutter at high speed. It's a big fin and rudder. The original internal set up is good for very conservative flights. The original factory setting is still internal. Our upgraded Global Jet version has converted to direct setting like what the rest of us have done.

Has anyone thought about telling the factory ?

Jim Cattanach

I think they already know that most of their models suffer structural failure. I should know!

mikedenilin

My Feedback: (67)

Yes. We have told the factory and advised all outlr L39 pilots about this mods. Not sure whether other dealers around the globe have informed their customers about that.

Jim, no matter how strong they can build the planes, any aerodynamically induced flutter can destroy the planes easily. I think many major brands suffer from similar results not just JL. No politics, just truth.

Didn`t do much updates here but that doesn`t mean I`m not working on the L-39.

I`m almost finished, well almost, I had it on the scale and the total weight without fuel will be +/- 14 kg (30-31 lbs) I hope.
I only need about 200 grams of lead in the nose (because the complete cockpits weights 800 grams).

See here some pictures of the plane.

Neat way to do the rudder
can you tell me what servo you are using
Im doing the same colour scheme,how did you remove the factory decals
i am thinking about using the Tailormade ones.

cheers

sorry double post

RemoteJets

Hye Brian,

I believe it`s a 15 or 20 kg/cm servo.

The decals were loose in the box, I didn`t had to remove them.

Tailormade have very nice decals for this bird but there this will be a demo plane for our shop we keep it "clean".

Is that the Jet Legend cockpit you are using? just wondering, I need one for mine

RemoteJets

No, a customer is building a FEJ L-39 scale 1:5,5 but he didn`t liked the FEJ cockpit and pilots, wasn`t scale enough for him.

So we took over his cockpit & pilots and made it fit in the JL L-39, a little scale difference but it looks better than a empty cockpit


Grt,
Berto.

JIMZACH

My Feedback: (30)

It looks pretty good to me, what dose the FEJ cockpit cost compared to JL?

weasel33

Thanks Berto

seems im going to have to get the heat gun out
this is how mine came but not with the foamy

brian

RemoteJets

That`s to bad there was no foamy with it []

I`m planning to use most of the decals from the kit but have to sort out if this will work with the planed shop name on the plane.
Maybe add some home made decals like no step/no push etc.

We will see how it will be sorted out.


Gonna try to install the main gear door cilinders this evening and maybe making a plate for the servo controlled air switches and Jet Tronic geardoor sequencer.


Then it`s almost time to install the engine en components.


Grt,
Berto.

RemoteJets

To save some more weight (I hope) the 2 reciever LiPo`s will be placed in the nose.

And almost finished main wheel door installation.

RemoteJets

Wheels and doors finished.

this evening gonna pick up the servo`s and air switches with will be controlled by a seqeuncer.
+ get the turbine to my hobby room.

Hi Berto

Slow down or you will be flying it by Sunday
great work and i like your F15, thats what i started with
but i sold it to a young lad in my club worst thing i ever did
going to have to get me another.

keep up the good work

brian

RemoteJets

Hye Brian,

no no, no slow down, have enough to do on other things so this L-39 has to finish soon.
Goal is to have it completely ready end of this year, picked up from the the shop the last remaining stuff, so now I almost have everything to make this bird complete.


The F-15 is a lovely airplane, I wanted to sell it for some other jet but still haddend the balls for it.
I`m affraid that when I sell it I will miss him and his looks, so I have to do it with a company jet besides it (till this one will be sold [] ).

On the F-15 I also want to install wheel gear doors but that will be something for jan. 2012


Grt,
Berto.

RemoteJets

And I have almost all stuff I need to make the L-39 flyable.

The P120SX is on the work bench, and all air switches + servo`s fastened.

RCKen.

This is me RCKen in picture. I like to fly RC Model like tis I do It look good

RemoteJets

And it works

Now have to do some adjustments in speed and delay.


Almost last thing to do: installing turbine & components.

RemoteJets

And some set up for the hopper, pump and valves.
