Goetz L159
Does any one have any experience flying the Goetz L159 ALCA. I am nearing completion of one and would appreciate any information on where the CofG should be, control throws to use and flying characteristics etc. Any info appreciated.

RE: Goetz L159
Hi John,
I've flown the L-159 at the JWM in 2003, 2005 and 2007.
It flies like a pattern plane, wingloading is higher then on a JL or AW L-39, so landingspeed is a bit higher but not a problem.
CofG is 120mm behind leading edge at wingroot.
Regards
Martin

Hi John,
I use a jetcat P-120.
My competition model has a weight of 14.5Kg dry + 2.5L fuel
my first one with less scale details has 13.5 kg dry
I've seen some people flying the L-159 with a P-160, the model can handle the additionel power without problem, but it's not scale like.
regards
