Here's my full review of the AeroFoam MB-339 105mm EDF Jet from @bananahobby. This is a good looking and well made airframe that flies quite nicely. Being a high powered EDF, you do need to be cognizant of your timer, but otherwise it's a fun jet to fly. Note that there are a few things to be aware of in the assembly which I cover. Also, BH provides JPHobby brakes with the kit, and so I talk through that as well. #MB339 #RCJet #flight

As always you did a great job reviewing the model. I wish you were my neighbor. Problems I see with the model is as follows - Incomplete cockpit an no pilot. When you spend 1300 bucks for a plane I would not expect to see exposed servos and pushrods like you would see on a cheep foamy. If I had one of these I think my club members would be jealous. As it is I'm jealous of them with their digital FPV from the cockpit EDF jets. Love them.

@Thercgeek Год назад

I hear you. Unfortunately the best way to get hidden control linkages is to build your own airframe as most arfs these days, even the very expensive ones, have exposed linkages. I’m speaking in generalities of course, but this is generally the case these days.

@Eugensdiet Год назад

@@Thercgeek There aren't that many companies competing for business. I think one of them will do one of two things. One being surface finish and detail and the other eliminating exposed servos. This one the surface looks pretty decent. Nothing looks worse to me than an exposed servo in a vertical fin. Yikes!

@payitfwdrcl6171 Год назад

Chris. Looking good my friend. Jets that size need a real turbine. But the EDF version is really nice. I just wish the lipo technology could be improved to get a little more flight time. Not just for this jet but for the others too. Just when it starts to get real fun you have to land and swap out the energy source. lol. Great flying you did there. Smooth operator. 👍👍👋😊

@Thercgeek Год назад

It’s hard to beat turbines for flight time. That said, I have edfs getting over 5 minutes of mixed flying. However, these are the jets I’ve build with extremely clean inlet systems. There’s a lot of drag in this one that’s not helping. Plus, a more efficient fan would help as well.

@SirWilliam007 Год назад

Another fantastic video Chris! Congrats on the move ! Will you be adding your Spektrum file on this to your website ? Thanks again Will

@Thercgeek Год назад

Thanks Will! I’ve been a bit remiss on adding files to my site since switching to the nx radio. I’ll work on getting this and some others on there when I have some time.

@SirWilliam007 Год назад

@@Thercgeek no worries Chris! All the help is worth the wait! I used your mix for the viper and it works 100% perfect for me! Did you use additional material to seal the engine area ?

@dont6441 Год назад

On mine I trimmed the tail end of the thrust tube to match the fuselage. Looks better that way I think.

@Thercgeek Год назад

Yeah, I need to do that.

@octane2099 Год назад

If you engage your breaks before lading they will not lock you get a nice roll out

@antonsokol4008 Месяц назад

Hi, did you use a life or lipo receiver battery, and what esc and motor? I have one without the power system and I was wondering what to get. Also, are you able to link that adapter from the two batteries into the esc for the 12 power. I’m not sure what to get for that either.

@Rippin-Rich Год назад

Is this more of a scale flyer or a sport jet? She knife edge well? Awesome video as always thanks!

@Thercgeek Год назад

Thanks! Based on the power system, I’d say it’s more a scale flyer. With a more efficient fan system in there, it would make for more of a sport flyer.

@leejimerson3354 Год назад

Hey Chris are you using the Gyro that is built into that spektrum receiver?

@Thercgeek Год назад

No, I didn’t set up the gyro on it. The airplane Doesn’t need it.

@AlignP123 Год назад

Do you loose the wing tip lights when you put the side wing attachment on?

@Thercgeek Год назад

Yes, when the tip tanks go on, it covers up the wing tip lights.

@erinphillips7164 Год назад

I’m looking to purchase the pnp version. I was going to install a As3x safe receiver. Is this jet worth the money and can you buy spare parts if needed in a crash

@Thercgeek Год назад

It’s a nice looking and good flying jet. I’m honestly not sure regarding the spare parts. It appears that banana hobby has a good selection of spare parts. Looks like the model is on sale at the moment which is a pretty good price for the model. It’s complete and the components are good, and they include jp hobby brakes with it. It does take a bit of work to get together, but nothing too insurmountable.

@jjlanda1171 4 месяца назад

Nice work Chris, I just have been flying 80EDF like L-39, T-33; Avanti, so do you think I can fly this MB339 105mm I really like it…..thanks

@av8tore71 Год назад

Nice! Can you adjust the speed of the retracts on the model?

@Thercgeek Год назад

I don’t think so. The speed is a result of the worm drive gearing and the electric motor speed based on the voltage.

@av8tore71 Год назад

@@Thercgeek makes sense, I was just curious cuz it looks like it was going down slower than usual. Very nice however!

@cool5tuff Год назад

Loved the wing cam and the assembly montage! I imagine a lot of camera work went into that. I've heard a lot of complaints about the viper being a bad airframe for edfs. The inlets aren't large enough for edfs and are better suited for turbines. Have you noticed that with this airframe or the viper?

@aerospacematt9147 Год назад

Viper has relatively larger intakes than the MB-339. The Horizon Hobby Vipers (70 and 90mm) both don’t have Cheater Vents, but this one does, it needs them, because the inlets are so small

@Thercgeek Год назад

@cool5tuff the Viper jet is a great candidate for edf. The mdb339 is more challenging since the inlets are so small. That’s mitigated here through the aux air vents which is functional, but not ideal. The model flies really sweet though!

@sofly8833 Год назад

What crimping system are you using to make your connectors?

@Thercgeek Год назад

It’s the system from hansenhobbies.com Highly recommended!

@tedvanderlinden Год назад

Chris, how, do you recommend getting V1 or V2?

@Thercgeek Год назад

Probably the V2. I think that’s the version I reviewed.

@indyjm5008 Год назад

Hi, Could you tell what is the type of glue used to fix the ESC ? thanks

@Thercgeek Год назад

I just used 5 minute epoxy with some micro balloons to thicken.

@jamesvaliensi7706 Год назад

I got the same model. I'm converting it to a X45 Turbine. The EDF version is $400 cheaper than the turbine one and I have pipe and tank to make it go.

@Thercgeek Год назад

The x45 would be a great, light weight choice for this model. That’s a really impressive engine. Excellent thrust at an extremely small size.

@jamesvaliensi7706 Год назад

@@Thercgeek Do you think the air intakes are even needed? The hole in the bottom of the fuselage is big enough for a X45. I may try blocking off the wing intakes and see what happens. It would be less drag during flight.

@Thercgeek Год назад

If it were me, for the turbine install, I’d look at closing up all of the external air grates and just pull air in from the intakes only. That would be the most ideal IMO to reduce the drag. Use the inlets for their intended purpose and close up all the extra holes, haha

@simonpells7405 Год назад

Hey Chris how’s things......thanx for all the great videos. What are your thoughts on this Standard Remote ID that they want to enforce in 6 weeks time.Many feel that this is going to destroy our hobby and that it means the end of BNF & PNF models. What are your thoughts on this.

@Thercgeek Год назад

Well, I’m not aware of something impending in 6weeks time, but frankly I don’t see how they could possibly enforce any of that right now and I don’t even think the technology is even there yet. Maybe for the drones themselves, but not for recreational airplanes. Ultimately, what will keep this hobby going will the FRIA’s. Those are designated areas for recreational flying only which are essentially all of the local clubs that are already in existence and under the umbrella of the ama.

@celaleddinozer144 Год назад

I Want to buy this brand but which one easy to fly mb339 or L39 could you give more informations

@Thercgeek Год назад

I haven’t flown the AF L39, but based on the longer wing and tail of the mb339, I’d expect it to be a little more forgiving.

@scottmcauley5781 Год назад

What rc EDF jet is the fastest, and mm fan/ engine?

@Thercgeek Год назад

Honestly, that is a loaded question. If you’re looking for the fastest airframe, it’s going to end up being a purpose built composite jet because the foam designs aren’t designed very efficiently. That being said, I think the fastest foam edf I’ve flown to date is the eflite 90mm viper jet.

Turbine bro . Edf🤣

@Thercgeek Год назад

Haha! Do keep in mind that in SoCal (where this was filmed), it’s MUCH more restrictive on where you can fly turbines. So, while I lived there, edf was my go to because it could be flown anywhere. That’s much less an issue now that we’ve moved to Tennessee. 😊
