Very nice plane, 5mm retract, solid, good. Nice flying, fligh time 3-4min for 5Ah6S battery. Attention: for landing you need flaps and speed! Stall is easy to get in.Reccomendation - reinforce the landing gear, at least the nose one and front part of the fuselage.

Flying the L-39 is shear fun. I have close to 80 flights on mine. It has rock solid stability is fast and manueverable (rolls, loops, humpty bumps, cuban eights). I fly on blacktop and land mine without flaps. Consequently, it rolls a long way. So, I added brakes. This added 1/2 lb but the L-39 didn't seem to notice. Recently I came out of a loop too late and scrapped the belly bad enough to required extensive refinishing. so I decided anew paint job was in order. See picture.

This is a great jet at a reasonable price. It's very well made and went together well. It flies like its on a wire and has a good sound. The color scheme looks better in person than in the pictures and it is easy to see while flying. I recommend it.

Have not flown it yet due to weather. Assembly was easy and construction is high quality. Can't wait to fly it!

The airplane looks great, goes together easily, and has the best finish I've seen on a Freewing EDF. I would give it 5 stars but the one I received had a retract problem. This wasn't a big deal but it just kept me from flying it right away. However, Motion RC Service did a quick and excellent job helping me resolve the problem. It was a pleasure working with them.
