Tips to Make Your First Turbine Flight a SUCCESS! | Hangar 9 Aermacchi MB-339 

Everything Ali talks about in this flight is GREAT advice for a new jet pilot.

I'll have a jet soon. Friends have been wanting me to buy their old used stuff for a good price but building/assembling really teaches you the systems. The MB-339 will be my first and this video is a great help. Thanks y'all!

Thank you! Very good advice and understanding of the equipment, plus above all just be diligent and check, check, check. These planes can be very dangerous but if stay on top of the whole situation, you can save not only the plane but possibly someone's life. Thanks again...

Great job Steve and Ali!!! Lots of good information for the beginner turbine guy!

As someone who was a newbie to turbines 180 flights ago (and thinking I would never own one after ~42 years in the rc hobby!?) your video makes perfect sense. Once you are straight and level and close to the runway bleed off the speed. I see so many with a lot of experience try to land when the jet still wants to fly!!?!? My first turbine after ZERO edf jet experience was the Boomerang Ranger set up slightly nose heavy. (only thing that "looked" like a jet that I flew prior was an F20 glow tigershark....) :P

Covered the bases. Like it

All great advice!

Great Video!!

Great video, lots of great advice. Thanks for taking the time to make this video 😀

Great video. It looks like the turbine was running for about 12”. Start, range testing and flight. How much fuel was left in the tank. I’m looking forward to getting mine in the air this spring.

Awesome, just a matter of time before I get one !

All good stuff and advice...; Except for me the MB 339 ain't that small! I tried the 80N engines and IMHO this airplane needs a 100N. That is the sweet spot for me as it's enough thrust to get out of bad situations if need be. I agree this airplane is not for high speed and so that given I still would say 70-80N engines will be a bit underpowered. 100 the MAX! If one happens to have a Jetcat P130 RX laying around (like I have) Then YES it will fit in the MB 339, but throttle management will be very important... Basically nothing above 1/4 throttle... LOL 😂

Using a gyro in a fixed wing? Or in a car? I must be much older than I feel. How loud are tnese tiny jets?

No run up ?

Just maidened my first jet. There is no going back

Well done. I am considering this airplane. As I watched, I had a sense of déjà vu; then I realized you are flying from the Eli Field that is the default airfield modeled in the RealFlight RC Flight Simulator Software! I wonder if this airplane is also modeled in that software? - if not, maybe you could add? Also with the other 720p comments, could you upload (to your server, dropbox, etc.) a higher resolution/quality format? Surely you didn't record in 720p.

Great vieo but 720p ???

41:44 need to do that with ANY model plane.! during a maiden, etc., a pilot NEEDS to Observe how well/poorly the model glides.

11:25 in general, cg goes at THIRTY PERCENT of chord or mac.!!! in the case of a model that has a swept wing, the mac-location is projected to the root chords, for convenience. d

My 1st jet is a Rauch Airliner MD11 😅😂

🙏 "promosm"

This is 2024. Shoot in 4K. Let RU-vid do the rest. Video looks terrible on a 4k TV.

720p wtf is this 2001

Regardless of the year , if ur biggest peeve is the camera go fly more or go elsewhere , it covered all the bases and was informative , if they need to get u a 4k camera then our products will go up to pay for , use them for what they are informative ! Not ment to be 4k ,,,,, wow

The guy in the blue jacket explains in a very clear & concise way. Thanks.
