Having flown Chris Hinson's laser in bowling green, and mine before it was "mine", I already know how awesome it is!
It's ready for maiden, finished installing the gear last night.hopefully one day at lunch this week.
Any ideas for a vinyl scheme?
im about ready to put 40 watts of lights on mine

I am breaking in my new batteries so limiting my flight times to 5min or so. Landing with about 40%-45% left.

Very nice! I'd love to see how you compare it with the MXS. Are you using similar setup on your laser too?

Yes, exact same except the ESC.

Just keeps getting better flying the Laser - wow. Do not be afraid to work with moving your CG back some either. I had been happy with where it was for KE coupling balance and today moved it back another 3/8" just to see and it really helped the hover and some in harrier with no changes to KE. Really tolerant with the CG so don't take your spot for granted, you might see some improvements.
I actually spent some time today in low rates and was also blown away. Long single slow roll across the sky was never better, I could not believe it was me flying, on rails. Even rollers in low rates are easier to do then any other plane in low rates with such precise control.
I fly a variant of the snake that I think looks better, I roll left to start just pass wings 90° and push down elevator to push right and up a little, then I roll 180° right into the opposite push back. The extra half rolls in there is what I think makes it look better plus at least for me is easier. Anyway again in slow rates the Laser pulls this off with little effort.
More on landings, if you struggle with landings this plane IS for you, so easy to grease in.
The only thing I struggle with and its all me is upright Pop Tops. Inverted are no problem and spins like a top. I think I do to many crankshafts and my commands get mixed and I end up killing energy. If you have a trick to doing upright PT's please share.
Just so excited after flying this morning I had to share.
