With the release of the new JTM L-39 full composite EDF Jet for 90mm Fans imminent, the guys from Jet Teng Models have released a few more pictures and 2 new videos of the L-39 Prototype in Breitling Colors.
The 2 pictures show close ups of the L-39 cockpit area. The factory pilot fabricated a simple custom cockpit for the plane. This cockpit will NOT be included in the production models as of now. But we are confident that a cockpit kit for the L-39 will be released in the near future once the demand for such an accessory becomes apparent to JTM.
Stay tuned for more updates. In the meantime enjoy the videos of the brake tests and the custom installed lighting kit
We just got news from Jet Teng that the initial color options for the soon to be released L-39 Albatros have been selected. RC-Warbirds.com will stock the L-39 as soon as it is available. As with the Hawk we expect initial production shortages. Contact us today if you would like to pre-order the model.
Following are the initial available color options:
The second episode of FlyBoyTha1’s JTM BAE Hawk Building video series.
All servos are installed, retracts are ready.
Next Step: Fan installation, for which he takes a trip down to TamJets to get some new “goodies”.
Jet Teng is working with high pressure on their latest full composite EDF jet for 90mm Fan units.
The L-39 Albatross will have the following dimensions:
Length: 1380mm
Wing Span: 1075mm
Like the JTM Hawk, the L-39 will come pre-painted (final color schemes will be announced soon) and retract ready.
We will post updates of the new model as soon as they become available.
For the time being, a short video of the L-39’s first ever flight by the JTM factory pilot.
Some info on the full size plane:
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer aircraft developed in Czechoslovakia to meet requirements for a “C-39″ (C for cvičný – trainer) during the 1960s to replace the L-29 Delfín. It was the first of the second-generation jet trainers, and the first turbofan-powered trainer produced, and was later updated as the L-59 Super Albatros and as the L-139 (prototype L-39 with engine Garrett TFE731). The design is still produced in an evolved state as the L-159 ALCA, while more than 2,800 L-39s still serve with over 30 air forces around the world. The Albatros – the most widely used jet trainer in the world – is versatile, seeing duty in light-attack missions as well as in basic and advanced pilot training.
Another great project by Rolf. This FlyFly F-100 Super Sabre was build, primed and then repainted by Rolf.
The Model features retracts, oleo struts, a 90mm EDF unit, full lighting kit incl. afterburner simulation. Some aftermarket scale parts have been added in order to improve the look of the model.
Some info on the full size plane: The North American F-100 Super Sabre was a supersonic jet fighter aircraft that served with the United States Air Force (USAF) from 1954 to 1971 and with the Air National Guard (ANG) until 1979. As the first of the Century Series collection of USAF jet fighters, it was capable of supersonic speed in level flight. The F-100 was originally designed as a higher performance follow-on to the F-86 Sabre air superiority fighter.
Adapted as a fighter bomber, the F-100 would be supplanted by the Mach 2 class F-105 Thunderchief for strike missions over North Vietnam. The F-100 flew extensively over South Vietnam as the Air Force’s primary close air support jet until replaced by the more efficient subsonic A-7 Corsair II. The F-100 also served in several NATO air forces and with other US allies. In its later life, it was often referred to as "the Hun," a shortened version of "one hundred."
Here are some pictures of our SAPAC T-45 Goshawk. This is still a very early version 1 model of the plane which, during this time, still came without retract mounts or flaps.
Luckily the build up wing of the Hawk made an installation of retract straight forwards. Our T-45 was equipped with the following: - HET 6904 Fan Unit - HET-RC Typhoon 2W-20 - HET-RC Tsunami 72A ESC - Desire Power 3700 4S 30S Lipo Pack - HET-RC Mini Air Retracts (3mm version)
For servos we used Hitec HS-82MG and HS-65MG types.
With this power combination the plane was not only able to take off from a concrete runway but also from a short cut grass runway.
The flight characteristics of this model a very good. A real joy to fly !!
Have a look at this video of our SAPAC T-45 in action:
Some info on the real plane: The T-45 Goshawk is a highly modified version of the BAE Hawk land-based training jet aircraft. Manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) and British Aerospace (now BAE Systems), the T-45 is used by the United States Navy as an aircraft carrier-capable trainer.
The T-45 Goshawk is a fully carrier-capable version of the Hawk Mk.60. It was developed for the United States Navy (USN) for use in training.
The Goshawk’s origins began in the mid-1970s, when the US Navy began looking for replacement for its T-2 and TA-4 trainers. The US Navy started the VTXTS advanced trainer program in 1978. British Aerospace and McDonnell Douglas proposed a version of the Hawk and were awarded the T-45 contract in 1981.
The Hawk had not been designed for carrier operations. Numerous modifications were required for Navy carrier use, including improvements to the low-speed handling characteristics and a reduction in the approach speed.Other changes were strengthened airframe, more robust and wider landing gear with catapult attachment and an arresting hook.It features a two-wheel nose landing gear.
The Goshawk first flew in 1988 and became operational in 1991.BAE Systems manufactures the fuselage aft of the cockpit, the air inlets, the vertical stabilizer of the T-45 at Samlesbury, and the wings at Brough, England. Boeing manufactures the remainder of the aircraft and assembles them in St. Louis, Missouri.
On 16 March 2007 the 200th airframe was delivered to the US Navy. Their requirements call for 223 aircraft, and the T-45 service is slated to continue until at least 2035.
A few pictures of Rolf’s Jet Arrows Mirage 2000B.
The model features Behotec retracts with Jet1A oleo struts, a 90mm carbon fan and a NeuMotors 1512-2.5D, YGE BEC ESC and 6S Lipo.
The model is painted and covered with 2k clear. Decals are from Tailormade.
Current draw is around 90A. The model is capable of taking off from a grass runway and flies like a rocket.
As all of Rolf’s models also the Mirage 2000B features a full lighting system with after burner emulation.
Some info on the full size plane: The Dassault Mirage 2000 is a French multirole, single-engine fourth-generation jet fighter manufactured by Dassault Aviation. It was designed as a lightweight fighter based on the Mirage III in the late 1970s for the French Air Force. The Mirage 2000 evolved into a successful multirole aircraft with several variants developed. The variants include the Mirage 2000N and 2000D strike variants, the improved Mirage 2000-5 and several export variants.Over 600 aircraft were builtand it is in service in nine countries as of 2009.
Just added: A video of the Mirage 2000 in action. Enjoy
Adrian’s Sport Jet is powered by a WeMoTec Mini Fan 480 with a HET-RC 2W Motor and Tsunami 72A ESC. Due to the light wing loading, no bungee is required to launch this EDF Jet.
Some pictures of our HET-RC F-16 Falcon Thunderbirds. This taileron controlled model is equipped with a HET-6904 Fan, Typhoon 2W-20 Motor, HET-72A ESC, UBEC and 2 Hitec HS-82MG servos.
Equipped with a 3700mAh 4S Lipo the plane goes ballistic. Large loops and high speed low passes are a joy. The model is launched with a Bungee (we have customers who successfully equipped the model with fixed gear).
Some info on the real plane: The Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multirole jet fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force. Designed as a lightweight, daytime fighter, it evolved into a successful multirole aircraft. The F-16’s versatility is a paramount reason it has proven a success on the export market, having been selected to serve in the air forces of 25 nations.The F-16 is the largest Western jet fighter program with over 4,400 aircraft built since production was approved in 1976.Though no longer being purchased by the U.S. Air Force, advanced versions are still being built for export customers. In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation,which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.
The Fighting Falcon is a dogfighter with numerous innovations including a frameless, bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while under high g-forces, and reclined seat to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot. The F-16 has an internal M61 Vulcan cannon and has 11 hardpoints for mounting various missiles, bombs and pods. It was also the first fighter aircraft deliberately built to sustain 9-g turns. It has a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than one, providing power to climb and accelerate vertically—if necessary.Although the F-16’s official name is "Fighting Falcon", it is known to its pilots as the "Viper", due to it resembling a viper snake and after the Battlestar Galacticastarfighter.In addition to active, and reserve USAF units, the aircraft is used by the USAF aerial demonstration team, U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and as an adversary/aggressor aircraft by the United States Navy.
The F-16 is scheduled to remain in service with the U.S. Air Force until 2025.The planned replacement is the F-35 Lightning II, which will gradually begin replacing a number of multirole aircraft among the air arms of the program’s member nations.
