MB-339 50mm EDF PNP jet (800mm)

If ever a jet were perfectly designed for miniaturisation and conversion to R/C, Aermacchi s MB-339 would have to be up there with the best of them. Designed as an advanced trainer and light attack aircraft the '339 s inherent qualities are brought to the fore in this smooth-flying, lightly loaded, 800mm span EPO EDF jet. But that's just a hint of the characteristics that make this a model you'll want to own and fly frequently. Fuelled by a standard - cheap as chips - 3S 2200mAh LiPo, its 50mm 11-blade fan and precision 2627 4900KV brushless motor combo produce thrust enough for genuinely spirited flight and a vertical performance that'll make you grin from ear to ear. Take all this, add a fool-proof hand-launch capability, a benign stall, transport convenience and a colour scheme that quite literally turns heads, and what you've got here is a perfect first, second or third scale jet for any intermediate or advanced pilot.
