    Thanks by the way! I know there's better pilots out there, I'm just trying to be the one having the most fun with it!!!

    It's a whole other animal. While the 12s Extra had disgusting amounts of grunt, it doesn't have the same top speed. Not a bad option if you stay off the throttle most of the flight or are happy with 5-6 minute flight times. On this bird the 35ra flew 3 10 minute flights and barely used 50% of...

    SupaTim builds a 73" AJ Laser!!

    Builds are easy, Internet time is limited access mostly occurs on the "throne" or after I should be sleeping... Will have the rest of the detailed build and maiden video when I get a chance to get in front of the computer!

    Here's my only pic from yesterday. It's an IKEA day bed with trundle and drawers. It robbed me of 5 hours of building and interweb time but kept the wife and lucky kid happy...

    Been busy with keeping the home life happy but I'll get more pics posted this evening. Building is the easy part, it's the documentation that is time consuming...

    Aeroworks 120cc Freestyle Extra 260 due out THIS MONTH (October 2014).

    Thanks Mike, you beat me to it! This was the 3rd flight once the wind dropped enough for me to bring her down a little. 25mph with gusts over 30 made it interesting but it was dry and that's about all I ask for!! The big freestyle almost fell together until I got to the cans but otherwise it...

    Happy to help. It's true, a lot of these are universal techniques I've picked up along the way and also learned from trial and error... May not be the official way, but it's how I get mine in the air and ideally keep them there!

    SupaTim builds a 73" AJ Laser!!

    Time to see it all in action!! Before you power or fire it up you need to check, double check, and triple check your controls. Program your rates/expo and then most importantly your timer. I like 12 minutes because you've plenty of time to do everything you know and also try a few new things...

    SupaTim builds a 73" AJ Laser!!

    Servos are done so now on to the business end! The Laser comes with a template for the DLE30. While that would fly it just fine, I opted for a DLE35RA instead from www.valleyviewrc.com to yank this baby around. Lots of guys going with a larger twin or a shinier 35 but I've had great luck with...

    SupaTim builds a 73" AJ Laser!!

    Time for another update! After cutting all the holes open with the soldering iron it was time to start epoxying things in place. I dry fitted the horns before using 30 minute epoxy. I used to be a 5 minute buy until actually saw how less brittle slower curing epoxy was. Didn't get pictures...

    SupaTim builds a 73" AJ Laser!!

    Ok, time to get to work! We started off going over the plane with a covering iron and gun. Was the perfect opportunity to get SupaTimmy's hands in the process! Our sock was wasted but don't worry, we did put a piece of old t-shirt on as a cover. I'm sticking with the format of the manual...

    Hey everyone, SupaTim here! Got my hands on the awesome new 73" AJ Aircraft Laser 230z and figured no better place than 3DRCF to post up my build and review!! The plan is to build this from an "everyday guy" kind of perspective with components and accessories that (in my experience) offer the...

    100cc ultimate 20-300 arf qb

    A 120 would be great on it. My 111 never felt lacking considering the weight of this sucker... As for XA vs. Slow Lyfin' I think setup is everything. With the cans and smoke I'm slightly nose heavy, but I wanted it to draw long fast lines. Still putts around nice though when you ask it to...
