    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    A little under the weather today but trying to get servos running and came across something I need to change. This is the same servo and control arm I used in my 60" Edge and the control arm actually hit the stab. I filed it back some but this is concerning so I think I will find a smaller...

    60" Laser-EXP

    I used 7245's on my Edge on 8.2v and they are awesome and now putting them in my Laser. They have some twitch in the neutral position at times but a little flick of the gimbal and it usually stops. They are fast and really helps with rolling circles.

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    From the picture the gap does not look sealed, unless clear. I had to have some larger than desired gap on a 47" 3DHS Extra on the Elevator so I could get extreme throw and after sealing it worked fine. I would seal it and fly it first, much easier to do and if the roll is not right then cut...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    If you have seen my Edge build thread I have used this method for years with great success. All you need is some card stock, tape, coffee stirrer sticks (thank you Starbucks) and some double sided tape. I like using the manila folder card stock because it is a little stiffer than just using...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    We late yesterday my motor finally made it back to me from Ken via some kind of tour of Dallas out late partying or something. Funny thing was Ken wanted to wait one more day before we ordered a new motor. Anyway here it is mounted. When I used this motor on my 60" EF Edge I used 3/8"...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    Thanks Gary and guys. So with the wasted time waiting on my motor I got to play around with some cockpit design. Timing was perfect too because Tim H over in the Beast 60e thread has some really nice graphics going for his Beast. He was kind enough to post them for other to use and to my...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    Now for a little rant. My 4315-480 being returned from Ken is still AWOL and it looks like the USPS has lost it. Ken wants to wait two more days before doing some kind of replacement so not going to be finished for a bit. Now for my rant - the USPS customer service and their tracking...

    For those flying Futaba here is my receiver setup with nice location option to glue in some small plastic antenna tubes to route and secure your rx antenna's at nice 90º positions. If you have not used these tubes they are at your LHS for a dollar for 36". I think it is polypropylene which...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    I am going to have to update this slide at the end of the month when I install the September 85A ZTW Gecko ESC but in the meantime I have mounted my B-Series ZTW ESC. I tried both the bottom (which is where the manual show it) and the side of the motor box and for now at least I will leave it...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    Been a report of the hatch latch coming off in flight so I thought I would add some extra glue to it. I flipped it over on the table and you can look through the cooling hole cutout. Move the latch back ad fort and familiarize your self with areas that need to be free of glue. Seeing that...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    On to mounting and aligning the stab. The laser cutouts for the stab fit the stab very nice. I just had slight gaps at the leading edge which I filled with my baking soda method from my Edge build down a ways on the first post. [/URL] I am pretty anal about alignment and have used lots of...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    So I now have maximum travel on my elevator. Please see the image below on where I had to relieve on the both edges that the arrow is pointing to. I simply used a sharp Xacto blade and sliced it out which was easy. I chose that as I was worried on how the dremel would leave the covering. It...

    Tim looks real nice. I did that on my 87" Extra and was happy but your looks very nice, well done. If you are up to sharing that image file I would love to have it for my new Laser.

    I wondered about that but I did check mine and all 4 were the same. This is something that got be once and I always make it a point to look at them now. Thanks for adding the picture as it for sure will help others.
