Glider L-39 Albatros

The legendary Aero L-39 Albatros as a functional and yet model-accurate glider

 

 

The L-39 Albatros training aircraft has become an international legend. Although many people today consider it to be an aircraft invented and manufactured in Russia (then the Soviet Union), this is a mistake. In fact, this elegant training and light combat aircraft comes from Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). 

 

 

In the Soviet Union and a number of other countries, the army used them to train combat aircraft.

That is why these machines often have Russian inscriptions today. This is not because they were manufactured in the USSR, but because the Russians only flew them.

 

 

 

And when the Albatros stopped being used by the Russian army over time, they became available for free sale, thanks to which private American fans of jet aircraft also got their hands on them. One of them is, for example, the legendary actor and great fan of flying Tom Cruise. Another well-known user of the Czechoslovak Albatros is the aerobatic group Breitling Jet Team.

 

 

If you are also a fan of the elegance and performance of the L-39 Albatros aircraft, then I have it for you. Despite its size, the model is less than 18 cm long and is equipped with scale details that are as close to its real model as possible.

 

 

This model not only looks like a plane, it even flies. Of course, considering its size and scale details, it probably wouldn't win races with full-fledged models, but with a little practice, this model actually flies unexpectedly well. Even when printed from PLA, the model is durable enough to survive a possible crash without damage.

 

 

After printing, all you have to do is insert the wings into the fuselage and that's it. There is no need to balance anything before flying, the print data is prepared so that the model has the center of gravity in the right place.

 

If you like this model, you can also print another model from this series - this time the World War II legend Supermarine Spitfire.

Legendární letadlo Aero L-39 Albatros jako funkční a přitom maketově přesné házedlo

 

Cvičné letadlo L-39 Albatros se stalo mezinárodní legendou. Přestože ho dnes mnoho lidí pokládá za letadlo vymyšlené a vyrobené v Rusku (tehdy Sovětském svazu), tak je to omyl. Ve skutečnosti tento elegantní cvičný a lehký bojový letoun pochází z Československa (dnes Česká republika). V Sovětském svazu a řadě dalších zemí je pak armáda využívala k výcviku bojových letounů. 

 

Jestli i vy patříte mezi fanoušky elegance a výkonu letadla L-39 Albatros, tak ho pro vás mám. Model dlouhý necelých 18 cm je přes svou velikost v mezích možností vybaven detaily, odpovídajícím své skutečné předloze.

 

 

Tento model ale nejenom vypadá jako letadlo, on dokonce i létá. Jistě, s ohledem na svou velikost a maketové detaily by asi nevyhrál závody s plnohodnotnými modely, ale s troškou praxe tento model skutečné létá nečekaně dobře. 

 

Po vytištění stačí do trupu jen zasunout křídla a tím je vše hotovo. Před letem není potřeba nic vyvažovat, tisková data jsou připravená tak, aby měl model těžiště na správném místě.
