Watch our for the wing sweep in flight.

Some pictures of our FlyFly Aermacchi MB-339 in Frecce Tricolori colors.
For this EDF Jet we have chosen the following setup:

• Fan: WeMoTec Midi Fan Pro (90mm)
• Motor: HET-RC 600-37-2
• ESC: HET-RC 75A
• Battery: Hyperion G3 4200mAh 6S 35C
• Retracts: Tamjets Mini Air Retracts

With this setup the fan generates around 1.4kW of Power which allows for easy take-offs from concrete and grass fields.

We have further re-enforced the wing with carbon rods to avoid possible wing folding issues.
The carbon rod was inserted in a groove cut into the bottom wing from close to air duct till all the way out to the retract mounts. This as strengthened the area between the outer, factory pre-installed carbon re-enforcements and the wing center section.

Some Info on the real plane:
The Aermacchi MB-339 is an Italian military trainer and light attack aircraft. It was developed as a replacement for the earlier MB-326.

The MB-339 is of conventional configuration, and shares much of the 326’s airframe. It has a low, un-swept wing with tip tanks and jet intakes in the roots, tricycle undercarriage, and accommodation for the student and instructor in tandem. The most significant revision was a redesign of the forward fuselage to raise the instructor’s seat to allow visibility over and past the student pilot’s head.

The first flight took place on 12 August 1976 and deliveries to the Italian Air Force commenced in 1979. Still in production in 2004 in an enhanced version with a much-modernised cockpit. Over 200 MB-339s have been built, with roughly half of them going to the Italian Air Force.

The Lockheed-Aermacchi MB-339 T-Bird II was a losing contender in the USA’s Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) aircraft selection. Among the seven to enter, the Raytheon/Pilatus entry won, which became the T-6 Texan II.
According to an article posted on the Italian website ‘Il Porto Franci’, called ‘Armi e finanziamenti nel corno d’Africa’, Eritrea paid about $US 50 million for six MB-339 CEs in 1997. This is the original MB-339 with more advanced avionics for the ground attack role, RWR, uprated Viper 680-43 engine, and larger wingtip tanks. It is capable of carrying Sidewinder AAMs, AGM-65 Maverick AGMs, and laser-guided bombs. Unit price of the MB-339C would have to be somewhere around $US 8.3 million in 1997 dollars.

This Aermacchi MB-339 in the colors of the Peruvian Air Force was build by Rolf out of a FlyFly Kit.
The EPO foam model was completely sanded down, the wings re-enforced, primed with Multiplex EPO Primer, painted and then protected with 2K clear.

The Model is powered by a 90mm Vasa Fan Housing, Aeronaut 2000 Fan Blades, NeuMotor and features retracts with oleo struts.
The plane has a fully working strobe and landing light system

Check out the video of the model in flight (there was a slight issue with the electronics at the end but no damage was done to the model).
