    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    I do not think you can get this in if it was on balsa. The photo paper is strong enough. I did this on my 87" Extra and it held on just fine. After it all works in place you can spot glue from the bottom the paper and balsa stringers with some welders adhesive. It is really trapped in there...

    60" Laser-EXP

    I wish it went more but I stopped mine like 3/16" from the elevator. I did not measure the throw on the rudder because it is what it is.

    I started my finial installation in my build thread if you want to see what I am doing. Not sure it's the best but I believe it will be just fine for me.

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    Tonight I started to add the cockpit in the high quality print to photo paper. I think this might be a couple of night job with drying. After dry fitting several draft pieces and looking at the real plane pictures I wanted the seat back to be closer to the clear visual windshield of the...

    You are not going to need a stiffer landing gear on your Laser as it is a dream to land.

    WV is much better than a Wolverine scheme, I like it wedoitall. Who cut your graphics? You were asking about the cockpit files I have in my Laser well I posted them on my build thread.

    So back on post #46 I showed some cockpit graphics that Tim H put together and I fit to the 60" Laser. If you have not seen the thread on the 60" E-Flight Beast Tim H has put together a really nice cockpit for it which I downloaded and found pretty darn close fitting our Laser 60". He was kind...

    Well I got to maiden my Laser this morning and it did not disappoint. Hard to say at this point if I like it more than my 60" Edge but for sure it's not worse. I find it hard to believe but the slow flight on the Laser might be a tad better. Today was one of the rare low wind days here in...

    Glad you are back in the saddle after 10 years Fast3D. I took a longer break from RC some 5-years back and wow did the industry change.

    Avoid the urge to sand. My Laser fit pretty good, in fact better than some plane I have had before. Try using talcum power on the tube and slide it in. If you can get it in you are good to go because the vibrations will lap the two together. I should add that if you feel you have to sand try...

    One thing I would add and suggest you do this when installing your cowl. Place 2-3 layers of 1" painters "green" tape to the leading edge of your canopy to provide some clearance gap. I found my canopy install and removal tight after I first installed it. For me to correct it I had a small...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    In keeping with the Stand Off Scale presentation of my plane to Leo's original he had the same star design on his wheel pants so I made a temporary decal for that and as Leo did not fly with SFG's I am guessing if he did he would have had the star design there so again this is a temp decal to...

    If you have not seem a 60" MXS it has an nice improved wing attachment method that now the Laser employs. I find it real easy to use plus if a screw becomes loose the wing is still held in the same locked position because the screw is still held in shear to the wing. I plan on using bonded...

    Everything is connected now and went on to balance the plane. I have been using Glacier 6S 3300's with my 4315-480 and will in this. On this balance I used two pieces of 15lb fishing line as it is super thin and made a loop and passed it around the wing tube between the fuse and the wing root...

    Do you have another radio to plug them into to double check? Seems strange replacements do it as well.

    After downloading the manual, to use that zoom feature and not to mention the color photos I see that on picture 31 their elevator control arm is very close too. I guess I will proceed. and after installing the ball link check to see if I can shave it back some. If I were doing this over...
