C&C Model L-39 Big

I could not find a thread about this model so I start a new one.

When I saw this model for the first time on Jet Power 2011 I was in love with the model itself and the 2011 Italian striping.
Then I new this would be my new plane in the near future.

I build a Jet Legend L-39 for the shop and like the size but not the weight, we fly that one with a Jet Cat 120SX, but I have a old Jet Cat P120 gasstart, so the JL version is to heavy for my engine.

Now on Jet Power 2012 (where we also were with a stand) I saw the model again and talked to Bruno about it.
But first I had to sell my Philip Avonds F-15.

And that is finished last sunday, I directly ordered a Big L-39 at C&C Models and I hope it will arrive next week.

make: C&C Models,
type: L-39 Big & Light
scale: 1:5,5
span: 1710 mm
length: 2200 mm
gear: electric + electric brakes
opties: schaal cockpit, speed brakes, ligths & smoke,
weigth ready: 12 - 13kg
turbine: old Jet Cat P120 gasstart

I also ordered the electric retracts and electric brakes, something new for me but have it a try.
This model will also be used for shows and meetings we visit with the shop and therefor will have some extra`s on it.

I`m planning to:
- install the speed brakes, these works fine on the JL and are awesome to see opened in the air,
- a complete light system, landing lights / nav. lights / beacon lights,
- a smoke system,
- opening canopy (I guess).

I will update the thread when I can and if some of you has information about his model just post it here.

Grt,
Berto.

Nice colors,look forward to see how the build goes;)

RE: C&C Model L-39 Big

Here some more photo`s, when my L-39 is arrived I will make some more detailed pictures.

RE: C&C Model L-39 Big

I have the Cmodels MB339 (2x2) and went for all electric retracts/brakes and LADO actuator option. So far only good experience, both in setup and operation. the electrice gear/brake setup, uses just over 100mAh per flight (timer set to 6 min)...which is far less than I expected:)

Only problem now, is to remember to refill the air system air on my other jets, before each flight. The all electric option is great imo.. (I know it has it´s cons as well....)

RE: C&C Model L-39 Big

so who is the manufacturer? I don't think C&C does his own manufacturing.

RE: C&C Model L-39 Big

Made by Fei Bao for C&C.

RE: C&C Model L-39 Big

The cockpit, first pic. on the left the C&C version, right the Mirage 2000, the rest the L-39 cockpit.

RE: C&C Model L-39 Big

Sppedbrakes must come here, easy to locate with the panel lines.

RE: C&C Model L-39 Big

The easiest part of the speed brake modification.

RE: C&C Model L-39 Big

The original registration of this L-39 was T7-LOT but the aircraft is recently sold and now has the N2399X registration.
This one will be my example.

RE: C&C Model L-39 Big
