Aero L-39 Albatros

Is the end of this weekend or the beginning of next week going to be a good one for all of us wanting the Albatross ? :d

:bump: :wavey:

Yes sir, the beginning of next week is very likely. I highly doubt it will be any later than this coming Wednesday. :)

Judging from what I've read on the L39.com website Bernd is pretty much "the expert" when it comes to all things L-39. :applause:

Maybe, but we have a couple guys here at International Jets that are up there too. One of our guys went to school with Bernd many years ago.

Actualy I wish it would fit there in real life. It would make my job so much easier. But the box is way too long so we have to put them above the instrument panel. Hey but it does look nice down there on the console.

I'm jealous, you get to work on these every day!

Man, I barely fit in an L-39 cockpit (6' 1"). I have no idea how you actually work in one. Probably by climbing in head first a lot of the time? :) Roomier than a Folland Gnat though.

I cannot believe how impatient I am for this release... :redface::redface::redface:

And for the record, I will attempt to get a SOH multiplayer event planned for this plane as we had for the P-51D... After all, it seems to have been built for such an event!:gameon:
 
I'll trade you the pain of waiting for it for the pain of building it any day! :)

It won't be tomorrow, might be Monday night, definitely by Wednesday.

Thanks guys.
 
Yep yep, you have my money for sure! I am loving the fact that you have come out of nowhere with what seems an awesome product! Worth supporting that is for sure!

Had an L-39 from Gadsden, Ala stop over at the airport I work at for fuel about a month ago. He was headed back from California. Nice looking airplane, very clean and just fast looking, lol.

You've done a beautiful job with it and definitely worth waiting for.
:ernae:
 
Hi Lotus

Will we be able to buy with PayPal ?

as i no longer use my credit cards etc online any other way here in Europe as it's getting very unsafe to buy online if you don't use PayPal

Buy for example a Visa gift card from your local bank and do your internet shopping with that one.Spend it all in one purchase .It,s what I do when purchase something from other places than simmarket.
Lotus,...thank you !
 
Hi Yago9

If the L-39 is going simmarket thats fine as they use PayPal as an option so no worries.

sorry missed that part:monkies:

Regards
Rick
 
The plane will be available through Simmarket and FSpilotshop, so paypal is an option.

Thanks guys. :)

Mike, this is going to be a sweet ride.... pc style. Now I've got to get my ride in the real "Pipsqueak" afterwards and compare the 2. ;) Gotta practice a bit before the real flight. And gotta prepare for joining the 7G club.

I've seen Joe grunt, groan and swear while flying the Reno race course..... video. No, it's not on YouTube, and probably won't be. And he wasn't pulling 7 Gs either. Just a bumpy ride out there. LOL
 
Thanks Gary, I do hope you like it. Pipsqueak is a little bit of a guess compared to the others of course because obviously I haven't flown her myself, only a stock L-39C. However Joe gave me good weights and performance figures to work with and I've matched her time to climb and top speed pretty closely, and she has about a 30% faster roll rate as well due to the lack of tip tank inertia. All in all she's pretty bonkers compared to any of the stock rides. She gets to 15000 feet from a standing start in just over half the time of a normal L-39. That has to be quite a rush to fly in reality.

Some1, I will have to give the price on release day. It's the weekend and I'm awaiting confirmation from one of the vendors still.

Cheers.
