    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    If you do not seal your gaps there is no time like the present to start and make this a part of every build. I do this a little different than some and I not only find it easier it is so cheap In the past I have used Blenderm tape, Monocote and Ultracoat but I am telling you clear packing tape...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    Dry fitting the aileron to the wing I am looking to see that all hinge slots are cut right to accept the hinge on both surfaces. Both wings on the Laser were perfectly cut and required no opening of the hinge slots. I like to mark that centerline with a thin marker to ensure that the hinge is...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    Put the gear on last night, no big deal same as usual. One thing I like to do that I have been doing with great results with regards to not having a wheel fall off is to locate and relieve a slot for the grub screw to be recessed into. All you have to do is slide on the wheel and lock collar on...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    I have been talking with Eric at B&E and I sent him some art work that he matched nicely. I really want this to look like Leo's Laser so I am replacing the Extreme Flight decals which by the way are matched nicely to Leo's Bud Light sponsor's decals. Extreme flight does not supply the extra blue...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    The turtle deck has the typical foam lamination on the inside giving it a lot of strength. You can see in the picture that tapered wall for the cooling exit finished in white. Canopy latch has very smooth operation.

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    The fuselage is slightly taller and wider than my Edge, it should be easy to work inside for sure. The motor box is real long and at the moment has me concerned for the short wires that came on my ZTW ESC. The cowl has huge air inlets which should be wonderful for those that have hot running...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    A lot of the work is done for you and done very well regarding the pre-trimming of control horns, servo openings, the fuselage bottom cooling exit and the wing recess. I had a problem with the exit cooling cut out on my Edge because a wood cross member was not low enough. This is absolutely...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    For those interested in the size, yes this "is" an EXP and below I have shown some comparison to the size of my 60" Edge 540 both elevator and rudder. The rudder is taller and slightly wider. The elevator and stab is slightly bigger all around - the Laser is on the bottom with the Edge...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    Well the packaging. What can you say Extreme Flight does it better than any that I have build. Double boxed and really nice custom fit places for everything. The finish is well protected by tissue paper wrapped under the plastic bagging.

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    Although not a Giant Scale I always have a smaller electric plane that I can fly at work (I work for Nike Golf and we have a really nice driving range to fly off of) I had a 60" Extreme Flight Edge before this and on flight 166 I was doing low rollers about 6' and not sure if it was dumb...
