L-39 Albatros 80mm EDF Jet - ARF PLUS from Freewing - FJ21511A+
Version Info: This is the ARF+ version for pilots who wish to install their own power system. All primary electronics including servos and landing gear come pre-installed, just add your own power system (EDF, motor, and ESC) to begin flying.
Combining the sport performance of the Avanti and the fidelity of scale aircraft like the A-4 and MiG-21, Freewing continues the legacy of its excellent performing 80mm EDF jets with its Freewing 80mm L-39C/Z Albatros! Developed originally by Aero Vodochody in the 1960s in what is now the Czech Republic, the Aero L-39 Albatros excelled as a jet trainer platform with its powerful turbofan and overall reliability. The L-39 and its successive variants continues in service throughout the world in militaries as trainers and light attack platforms, and in civil aviation including aerial demo teams and racing.
The Freewing L-39 Albatros is the largest and most capable production PNP L-39 in the world. Optimized for high maneuverability and precision flying, the L-39 truly is a “Sport jet wearing Scale jet clothing”. The Standard Version uses a powerful 3530-1850Kv brushless motor and 100A ESC to power the 12 blade 80mm EDF.
The Freewing L-39 Albatros includes grass capable suspension landing gear, a full coverage nose door, scale wingtip lights, and easily removable tip tanks, ordnance, belly gun pod, and wings. Only one joint is required to complete the model’s general assembly. A plastic lined cockpit also resists deformation under sunlight, and optional 3D Printed cockpit detail upgrade parts are also sold separately.

Incredibly controlled takeoffs, almost unlimited vertical, and carries its speed through turns really well. Floaty on the landings and it's worth bleeding off the speed with your flare. I put 45mm JP brakes on mine which work amazingly well with the trailing link gear. They're much smaller wheels compared to the stock ones, but it's nice to be able to limit rollout especially when flying with heavier batteries.

I outfitted mine with a Schubeler fan and HET 2250 motor. The sound and peformance is fantastic. I love how stable this plane flies it really has no bad tendencies. I get 3 minute flights with a 5000mah pack but I am fully ok with that. I love how Motion does their "ARF plus" versions of these planes so that we can out fit them to our individual preferences. Keep up the awesome releases of these amazing planes.
