L-39 Albatros Turbine 1720mm (67.7″) Wingspan from Black Horse – Balsa Wood ARF – BHM1014-001
The Aero L-39 Albatros, developed by Aero Vodochody of Czechoslovakia, is a highly-capable jet trainer. It is now the world’s most widely-used jet trainer, not only for basic and complex pilot training, but also for light-attack missions. Making its first flight in November 1968, it was the first trainer plane to be equipped with a turbofan engine.
The Black Horse L-39 Albatros is a 1720mm wingspan ARF ready to install your turbine power system with up to 8kg of thrust (not included). Built durably with balsa and plywood construction, the L-39 comes pre-covered in heat-shrink film with pre-printed graphics simulating panel lines, rivets and livery detail.
