GREAT FLIGHT BOBBY WOW SHE FLEW LOOKED AND SOUNDS AMAZING. THANKS FOR FILMING JEFF. SUCH A COOL JET. 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼🤩🤙🏼👍🏼

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

I really like this Jet too!

[@JeffsCustomRC]

Nice flying BOBBY!! Gotta get mine maidened ASAP, and with the JP , so we’ll see right. Good job guys👊🏼👊🏼

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

That JP fan is not compatible with the stock ESC

[@JeffsCustomRC]

@@RCPlaneReviewer Hmmm…I’ve got plenty of thrust, so I’ll have to see, also upgraded all connections to the larger for fan and esc, hope for the best 🤞🏼👊🏼

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

@@JeffsCustomRC According to JP and Fanjets you need N esc that cN handel a high pole motor...the castle 160hv I upgraded to wasn't..and the stock esc isn't adequate for how powerful that stock fan is!

[@toddwatkins3211]

Wow it really looked like it was struggling to take off. A beautiful plane but it kinda cured my need for anything larger than my 8S 90mm freewing planes. I have to admit I did not expect that it was going 122 mph, guess because it was so big. It definitely sounded cool! Good job, I really like that you guys show the bad and the good. I suspect that a lot of reviewers use a heavy hand when it comes to editing! Thanks for taking the time to post this stuff! Keep up the good work!

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks for the nice comments! We try really hard to show EVERYTHING and keep it 100% honest over here! The L-39 actually rotates better now..found out it needs half flaps for take-off, not the 1/4 flaps or no flaps I did in the video!! Always learning!

[@eldestguy]

I really like the 6 AF 105 mm EDF's that I purchased from Banana Hobby. I fly off a 440 for asphalt runway and the planes use about 275 feet. Landing a little less as I use the brakes' Please keep posting your videos and great job of narrating. I prefer the 105's over any other size EDF's for visibility and stability.

[@mrt10352]

Awesome, I’ve enjoyed mine these past few years. Always get the 😯 😮 factor with people

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Exactly!

[@RCINFORMER]

This plane "NEEDS" flaps for takeoff, especially on grass.... its heavy.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Flaps are definatly needed and all the others I used with flaps and it did definitely help it rotate. I agree I think the stock Fan produced more thrust than the JP, I will do 125% elevator like you did to help get her off the ground

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

How much delection were you using in your video full flaps or half?

[@hamiltonshangar]

Banana hobby shirt and all!! Big beautiful jet. Like you said, a more powerful Edf would be great in that bird. Still flies awesome. Great flying! L-39 is my go to flyer.

nice flites Bobby!!! to bad on that 2nd attempt LOL

[@victorrcjets7660]

I shoehorned my jetfan 110mm 840kv in mine. Much faster rollout but I had to open up the fuse to push it back more due to the weight.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

I just finished putting the JP 105 in it and changed the timing from 5 degrees to 12..should be a noticeable improvement

[@victorrcjets7660]

@@RCPlaneReviewer They are pretty particular on the timing.

[@williewideback]

That is Nice!!!

[@M4rkmcc21]

Bobby has this got the 875kv motor like the new Pro V2 in thr MB339? What motor will you be upgrading it to for more grass ops power? Cheers.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

The upgrade Im doing will be the 12s 700-98-840kv

[@sethgreenberg7725]

Did you put the stock fan back in it or are you using the JP edf's?

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

No sir, that jp was good and balanced

[@olivervaldes4223]

Not sure why the take off look so sketch, the power may need an upgrade? This aerofoam looks gorgeous.

[@michaellussoro2295]

Did u find the jp fan was better or changsun?

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

It is much much better!!! Balanced too

[@kevinmaxwellwilkin4915]

That jets seems like it needs alot of runway , even on the first flight , glad you got it sorted though

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

What it needs is a better larger edf

[@ghoustanable]

To be honest with you bro that thing looks underpowered for the grass. Once it's in the air, it does get on step but definitely needs more power. I would look at either Jeffan 105 or 110 and Wemotec 100mm with the 1080kv motor. The JP fans sound good but are extremely inefficient when compared to Jetfan or Wemotec. Cheers 🍻

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

It's actually not under powered really, its a 16lbs bird, ..heavy took off with no flaps. With flaps it jumps off at 300ft. I got another video coming of it with the JP fan and esc timing changed for more rpm make them performas such. I have a Jetfan 110 for it already, just waiting to be installed. There's more going on with this plane when edf. It needs more air to hit the max thrust as it was first made for Turbines. So opening the intakes are a must. It's pushing 16.4 lbs of thrust. The jetfan 110 het 840kv is the sweet spot 21lbs of thrust.

[@jared6072]

I just got the answer to my million dollar question😅. I was back and forth getting the l39 or the mb339. Along with if i should get the pro v2 version with the jp fan or get the arf and put in a jetfan. Looks like its mb339 arf and jetfan with 840kv motor. I was looking at cost and its only 80 bucks more then the pro v2.

[@snoriverrc3842]

Dang that sounded like a turbine when it was taxiing, smooth landing. How does it compare to the Aeromachi?

[@snoriverrc3842]

the stock motor definitely sounded different from the JP.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

It's definitely more responsive than the MB-339, Speed seems faster too..it's a very good flyer! 👍 both a great honestly the L-39 to me is easy to land too!! I'm upgrading the EDF for grass Ops. On a paved runway it's Performance is great..on grass could use 1-2 more lbs of thrust to rotate ealier

[@AeroSmithyRC]

Is this the V2 and how does it compare to the V2 MB339 you just flew?

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

This is the v1 version and I LOVE the v2 MB-339 better. Better flyer and lands very well 👌 I perf the mb339 all day

[@AeroSmithyRC]

@@RCPlaneReviewer thanks, that’s useful … I really like the L-39 but if you say the new MB339 is better I believe you. BH are showing a V2 L-39 on their website, is this one an improvement to the one you had do you think? There’s a story behind my interactions with BH and Ralph S which is long and frustrating and not for here, hence my comment on your V2 MB339 video. I wish they’d have given you the plane to test before they put it into production! Thanks again 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@velcro62]

How big is it compared to the freewing one?

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

It's 2 times the size of the Freewing

[@MJ-ug5mo]

I am new to this hobby and don't own a plane yet. What do you suggest for a beginner? I live in Maine so I have time to learn before buying lol.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

A really good trainer plane like a cub is very good the Tasma is good here too www.bananahobby.com/5-ch-xfly-model-tasman-1500mm-rc-trainer-airplane-pnp.html

[@lmramos44]

Well, the stock fan seemed to push much better. Grass runways always present a challenge. I have the AeroFoam MB-339, just a dream to fly. I am leaning towards these larger jets as they are easier to fly and easier to see. I also have the HSD T-33, its a monster, the 120mm EDF just has enough thrust to get this jet on step. I just received the HSD HME-262, Twin 90mm, this one should really move out, hopefully. I love the L-39, and i have been watching the videos on the AeroFoam model. Seems to do just great on its stock fan, luckily our club has a 600-foot petromat runway, makes it great for takeoffs and landings. Did you feel the JP Fan was more powerful? Does it draw more than the stock fan? And how did it compare in weight? Thanks for the video.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Thanks for watching!!! The JP fan definitely has to have the timing changed.. mine is set at 13 degrees and it now rotates at half or field with half flaps for take off..it's got plenty of power to get it up and moving. I still plan on swapping out the JP for a fanjet110 hotter set up. The MB-339 105MM with the JP fan is amazing

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

I'm thinking of buying the HSD T33 or Me262 how is it off grass?

[@lmramos44]

@@RCPlaneReviewer I have never flown the T-33 off grass. It’s heavy, I have run it off our runway onto a roughly mown lawn and the retract pushed through the wing…I would not feel comfortable flying it off a grass runway. The MB-339 May do a bit better off grass….but you definitely have more experience flying off grass then I do. I am amazed you don’t destroy more retracts flying off grass….

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

@@lmramos44 Our field is well manicured and extremely short very forgiving on the jets. The MB-339 rotates with ease

[@aaywaz1]

Your video is informative. When it comes to grass take off it seems the 105mm L-39 is under powered. Our club has a paved runway of no more then 160 feet. Will it be suffient for a takeoff? Beautifull plane but not sure if it is worth the $1000 investment.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Well now that I have put a few flights on it and will have a follow-up up video soon..I learned this large Heavy bird really needs 1/2 flaps for take off.. with that it rotates at half my airfield with no problemsa d with the JP Fan its Great!. It's truly needs. More powerful edf tho the stock one will get the job done ✔️

[@trevor5290]

Time to get rid of the Lipos and use LiIons. Don't you want 12 min flight times :)

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

Sure let me know! Send it

[@daviddavids2884]

information. the question is, did the manufacturer spec the edf system CORRECTLY.! fo an edf, the most efficient cross-sectional area of the exhaust IS Equal to the effective swept area, of the impeller. this value is also the minimum efficient intake area. the use of a cheater(s) does Not fully compensate for too-little intake area. the somewhat inconsistent (and whiny) sound coming from the edf suggests that one or both of these values is OFF. googletranslate

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

The EDF is balanced, I think it can, would benefit from having more air inlets and sounds kind of starved. Remember this model was originally designed for a turbine and then a edf as an after thought. Edfs need lots of air flow...lots! So I think opening up and getting more air in will substantially help with thrust and over all performance

[@rotormasher]

Definitely down on power for grass, sorry to see her like that :(

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

A quick change of edf will fix this!! Flys great

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

It's 100% on a paved surface

[@greg0063]

Nice review, the plane needs pavement, the grass is like constant brake. It still had just enough to get off of it though. It flew great.

[@RCPlaneReviewer]

The grass does create drag but it's actually the stock EDF needs more air...it appears to be Ir starved. This bird was originally made for Turbines not EDF's T first so you need to make air inlets on it to hit peak performance
