Gates Learjet 35 (Old)

The Learjet is an iconic plane that made history as the era of Private business jets started in the early 70’s.

We have modeled the Aviatix L35 as accurate as possible, even the landing gear which is reliable and perfectly scale and includes electric brakes on all 4 wheels.

Lots of other functions like lights and cockpit/cabin scale detail are also included with scale realism that will impress everyone at the field.

Just like the real machine the Aviatix L35 fly like a dream and will handle like a jet should – straight and precise. When it’s time for landing she slows right down in landing configuration with the flaps and Gear down and is easy to land.

All the parts remove with ease, so getting her to the field is also easy in most Hatchback/midsize vehicles or any SUV despite her decent size.

Fuselage

The impressive 96″ fuselage becomes quite managable once the Engine nacelles and the tail is removed. The assembly operation only needs 7 screws to be inserted, the 2 motor XT90 plugs and 4 servo connectors to be plugged in. Total assembly time will take 5 minutes and need a Balldriver and is real easy to do.

Wings

The wings are amazingly light and strong and have beautifully integrated flaps and Ailerons as can be expected from a quality plane. They split and slide in/out in the middle and is then bolted to the fuselage using 2 X M4 bolts. Connecting the wings needs the gear and 2 MPX connectors containing all the ailerons and flap signals and power connections which makes assembly a the field fast and easy.

Scale Detail

The Learjet is packed with scale features that really make her stand out like a lighting system with scale strobes and Nav lights all around. All around scale panel lines and rivets is just the beginning, The Learjet is perfect stand off scale and will turn heads just like the real one do!

Cockpit & Cabin

Once you look inside you will find a perfect scale Cockpit and Cabin. All nicely accessible via the powered door! Underneath the front steps you will find the battery plugs and on/off switch.

Engine  Power

The RTF version comes with 2 x 105mm multi-blade EDF’s that give you a decent turbine like sound and provides 22 lbs of static thrust. Due to the light weight and effectivity of our design, you can comfortably fly around on 50% power which then allow flight times of 7-8 minutes, right up there in turbine time. Speaking of turbines, any pair of 5-7kg turbines will also power the Aviatix Learjet and if you have the $’s for those turbines, we suggest you purchase the Radio Combo version. One 5kg turbine will keep the plane airborne while the other one restart incase of a flame out, so you will have ample redundancy on a turbine version. The turbine version comes with a main fuel tank that is located on the plane CG and has a gallon capacity which should provide nice and longer flight times of 12-15 minutes.

The EDF units are installed in the factory and servicing and replacement of the motor, ESC or fan can be done through the front by removing the Intake duct.

Landing gear

The landing gear is scale with even the wheel diameter and rim design being exact scale to the fullsize Learjet. Suspension is matched to the weight and you will be surprised with the amazing scale operation and integration of the electric gear and servo controlled geardoors. No airleaks here! The Down and Locked DL550 unit takes care of all the geardoor sequencing and will only close the geardoors after the wheels are in. Only the gear channel is needed for this operation and the DL550 eliminates the need for an extra channel to operate the nose steering and will center and switch the nose steering off when the gear is retracted. The customized gear profile is already pre installed.

Brakes

You will be delighted with the new Down and Locked Electric brakes fitted to all four main wheels of the Learjet. Have you ever had a failure from your car brakes? These electric brakes use the same concept and is servo operated ensuring lovely proportional brake resolution.

Lights

She has a full lighting system that will enable you to use the good weather at sunset all the way. Switchable Strobes and Nav lights that will really light your plane up, yet still looks scale. Learjet also come with the scale landing lights inside the tiptank Nacelles just like the real one.

Servos

In Radio Combo and RTF versions, The Learjet is packed with the latest and best technology servos. Critical flight systems like Ailerons, Elevator and Rudder are all done by High speed Digital Coreless servos with Titanium or Metal gears with ample power. 9Kg on the elevator, 9kg on the Ailerons and 4Kg on Rudder to give you precise and solid control and makes 3-Axis Gyro install easy and possible.

Flaps are operated with 11Kg metal gear Analog servos and the gear doors, nose steering and other functions are all combination of digital or analog servos with appropriate power ranging from 3,5Kg-1,5Kg each.  In total the servo package adds all 13 servos at a bargain price.
