AERO L-39 SKYFOX
L-39 Skyfox is a military trainer jet and light combat aircraft designed and manufactured by the Czech company AERO Vodochody AEROSPACE
a.s. (https://www.aero.cz/). It is a successor of the legendary Cold War era Aero L-39 Albatros. Whilst the successful basic concept remains, it is a
completely new design using composite materials, a modern turbofan engine and the latest avionics including HUD displays. The new "wet" wing
featuring an integral fuel tank makes the Skyfox recognizable at first sight - the signature wing tip tanks of the Albatros are no longer there. The L-
39 Skyfox is powered by the low-consumption Williams International FJ44-4M turbofan, making the operating costs comparable to contemporary
turboprop trainers. Five external hard points under the wing and fuselage can carry up to 1360 kg payload: 2 external fuel tanks, 12.7mm or 20mm
gun pods, unguided rocket blocks, 227kg Mk. 82 free-fall bombs, laser-guided GBU-12 Paveway bombs, training CATM or AIM-9 Sidewinder
infrared air-to-air missiles, reconnaissance pods etc. The serial production started in May 2023 with aircraft for the Czech, Hungarian and
Vietnamese Air Forces. At the same time, the upgrade program for the original L-39 Albatros using the Skyfox engines and avionics is running.
Well, it seems Czech trainer jets are not going to be missing in the sky in the future.

BEFORE YOU START
1. If you are not an experienced RC pilot, plan to have a fully competent pilot check your completed model and help you with
your first flights. Even though we have tried to provide you with a thorough instruction manual, RC models are rather
complicated, and an experienced modeller can quickly check over your model to ensure your first flights are successful.
