    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    AJ 73" Laser 230z I tried a "new" method (to me!) to open up the holes. I used my soldering iron. It can be messy in the larger sections, but for holes it works like a champ. My trusty Xacto knife sat out on the bench for this process. Use a floodlight of some sort to help find the holes. I...

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    AJ 73" Laser 230z So I'll just try and play catch up on some pictures I have been taking. First off I must say that making a purchase through Tim Jesky was probably the best service I could have asked for. Since I live in Alaska, it's hard to get this size of flying machine shipped here for a...

    AJ Aircraft Customer Service

    +1 An enjoyable process during my last purchase that had exceptional & professional customer service that's quick to respond and take care of me. I was looking at another plane from a different Mfgr and reseller who lost this customer because I ran across AJ's new laser and they actually wanted...

    SupaTim builds a 73" AJ Laser!!

    SupaTim, I'm curious about your A123 setup. Looks like you use a Deans Ultra as your switch and soldered two leads for your Rx and Ign on the Deans plug side? Never seen this method until now. Do you like doing this method verses a dual switch? What size is your A123? 2500? mfgr? 4-5 ten min...

    We had a VERY mild winter this year. Basically no snow on the ground right now. If the weather is marginal I usually pack up my planes, head to the field and make a decision to wait to see if the weather clears up. Put in a couple flights this afternoon, with a great running DLE35 the whole...

    I like how it flies with the VVRC40 (out of stock currently), but haven't seen any specs on the over all weight (OAW) of this setup verses a DA/DLE 35 with one servo in the tail. I guy could essential do the math, but it would be nice to hear from folks with these setups and what they had to do...
