L39 Albatross - nice plane




This is a 64mm version and I modified it to 68mm EDF. Slightly enlagred the motor area with a cutter is enough. I also use 4s 2200mAH and current is under 40A (to save my 20c lipo). The design is great as the front gerar is link with the rudder. The functional rudder makes landing more fun as the sidewind is now not a threat.
Flied her 10+ flight today and she is fast. Take off distance is less than 5m. Having a high wing aspect ratio, this plane has no tendency to stall, despite a heavy 4s lipo.
