Naki Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I havent flown the L-39 around PNW much as there isnt any ORBX airport with a long enough runway..but what the heck - I will give the Orbx Concrete airport a go (and made it harder by doinmg the flight at dusk)...managed to get in and out of Concrete Airport first pop ..must of fluked it as I tried to land the L-39 at elsewhere with a lot longer runway soon afterwards and stuffed it up several times until I got it right.

alan2 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Nice shots , you could maybe afford to go up one size larger then they would look even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Dog Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 The L-39 is perfect for some serious PNW sight-seeing! Nice pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricky76 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Did you use a slingshot to get her outta 3w5? Lol. Great shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontworry Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 With a light fuel load you can get out of Concrete somewhat easily in the L-39...but then don't expect to be in the air for more than an hour . Cool pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naki Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Thanks guys. Nice shots , you could maybe afford to go up one size larger then they would look even better Yeah I agree - I must look into that more..I use to get decent sized pictures before I got a widescreen monitor and I havent bothered to make the adjustments ..maybe its just a matter of resizing the pictures in paint or a similar programme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausiguy Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Try Ranger Creek 21W in the L39. Definitely a lot of fun but easily do-able. After you manage that, a real challenge (landing is tricky but departure is almost impossible) is Strom Field 39P, only 1800ft and mountains/hills all around. Very tricky. You need to come in stabilized with the drag brake out just a hair under 200kph and put it right on the numbers and then remove the flaps and stand on the brakes. Departing is really about keeping it in ground effect well after the runway is all used up until you get enough airspeed to climb out. If the wind favors 25 you will need to make a right turn to avoid the trees while still in ground effect and following Hwy 12. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naki Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Thanks for the pointer..I was thinking about trying Ranger Creek with the L-39 having flown the 185, Bonanza and Bird Dog from there..I will also try Strom Field (another ex Georender air filed from FS9 days).
