Pilots: Maik Stuber Model: Aero L-39 Albatros Jet - Breitling Design Weight: 77kg Wing span: 4,50 m Length: 4,65 m Turbine: Jetcat P550 (62kg thrust) RX/TX: PowerBox / Yeti Location: Jet Power 2019, Donauwörth/Genderkingen, Germany Great Planes has released a very nice looking sport scale EDF that includes the HyperFlow ducted fan unit and an Ammo in-runner brushless motor, all for under a hundred bucks. The plane is composed of a unique closed cell foam called Aerocell. It is not as brittle as more conventional forms of foam and can be glued with standard CA. This model comes out of the box pre-painted, but it is marketed as having a smooth, paintable surface, should you wish to alter the factory paint job. This low parts count kit comes from the factory with most of the work completed.As I dug into the kit contents, I soon began to understand why this ARF may have been a little slow to arrive. It would appear the factory spent a little extra time on the kits, completing many of the steps normally handled by the customer. Control surface horns Already mounted. Elevator push rod Factory installed. It is not even necessary to hinge any of the control surfaces, nor to glue two wing halves together to make up the wing. All you must do is attach the wing and tail, insert your radio gear and power system, and fly it!
