Maiden Flight of the Hangar9 MB-339

[@gmorphan]

Awesome!👍 I'd be a nervous wreck. I'm glad you got it up & down with no big issues.

[@crashmcnasty]

i was nervous with you lol. Awesome ! i just ordered the King 86 for mine

Fire extinguisher - always. For the trim, freeze at 3:15. Angle / perspective may be lying, but looks like your right wing tip is more positive than the left. Imagine if the entire wing was your aileron control surface. Doesn't take much deflection to have significant effect. Another tip: Park the model nose into the wind before cutting the engine. Helps keep flow in the right direction as the turbine spools down and goes through cool down. Also helps avoid getting any of that oil heavy smoke on your starter clutch. Well done.

The proper fire extinguishers (2) were 10' away. I should have moved them closer, but forgot ... but they were there. I used my digital incidence meters on the wings last night and they were within 0.2 degrees of each other.

Nice job Allen!

[@mitchilito99]

Mine also needed a good bit of right trim. What the heck!

[@Mightymouserc]

Pretty cool nice job

[@RC_Overflow]

Gratulations for the maiden. But put allways the nose into wind for cooling (Min 9:00...) . So you will have a proper Starterfunction for long time and no oil film at the wrong place.

[@allensrcadventures]

There was no wind. Now I bring a leaf blower.

[@reedy93]

Well done looked good, worth having a 2kg CO2 fire extinguisher /fire blanket by you side when starting.

[@MsPokey1234]

Perfect!

Awesome job Allen. Did i hear your IX 20 se correctly, did you put the brakes on the " i " button? Would you elaborate on your transmitter setup for the MB 339. Im waiting on my servo bundle from HH. I would like to learn more on how other pilots set up their spektrum TX for the hangar 9 MB 339. Great job. Keep those mb339 videos coming...

[@allensrcadventures]

I put the brakes on the left slider ,,, hoping they would be proportional , they aren’t.

[@seancoleman7383]

That what I thought, thanks for confirming that

[@jayb2617]

face it into wind for starting and stopping helps ignition and cooling

[@inthegameroompodcast]

Yeah,,, there wasn't any wind. I'm going to start bringing a leaf blower to make my own wind.

[@mitchilito99]

Good test routine. So often we don't see that. Great flight! Was that the K70 or K85?

[@allensrcadventures]

Thanks a lot. It is the K85.

[@drmrjon]

What fuel are you using?

[@allensrcadventures]

Automobile diesel with Kingtech oil additive.

That narrow runway is sketch

[@allensrcadventures]

Yes, but there is lots of grass.
