Aviation Specs: Scale: 1:2.7 Wingspan: 3,50 m / 138" Length: 4,50 m / 177" AUW: 70 kg / 155lbs Required turbine size: 400 N Material: fibreglass/carbon composite Turbine: JetCat 550 From manufacturer`s website: 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.

It`s been a couple of weeks since I`ve last been out flying, so it was nice to get out and take advantage of a favorable wind and fly one of my old school slope soarers
