60" Laser-EXP

[gyro]

So this was taking in my build thread where I balanced it with fishing line around the tube and the actual line I marked on the wood is more where the red arrow is. I am now back to the yellow line. My setup again is a 4315-480 with 1/2" spacers, EF spinner, Xoar 16x7, ZTW 85A B-series on the bottom of the motor box aft as it will go, and Glacier 6S 3300's

Very helpful post, thank you!

Thanks I will give that a try tomorrow morning. I am a visual person so something like this.

YES!. The key to this plane I think is the time you take to go from point B to Point C. Don't tarry on Point B but move quickly on to point C. Then, as you indicate in your drawing, play with bringing the aileron back toward neutral after you have slammed it to the right for a moment. You have to play with it to get it just right. Oh, and at some point you can relax the elevator to neutral as well.

I learned this weekend that doing them to the outside snap yields going flatter faster.

I don't understand the entering them from the inverted because once you enter the upline, the maneuver is the same.

I still struggled today with it and even though I feel like I am not delaying at the "B" as you put it I think. That is what is killing the energy I am sure. Again inverted are the bomb. So I have been thinking that inverted I do in a two position move and I may just try that tomorrow on the upright.

What prop are you running? The 15x8 will get a little more speed and less prop disk to fight. Also try them to the outside snap and you might find the timing easier.

Just got my maiden done on my laser. Haven't stopped smiling yet. Can't believe how stable it is at slow speeds.

So true and I tell you it keeps getting better as you dial it in. Please do try some low rate work, you will be very pleased also. I know I made the right decision here.

Eventho i prolly need to get my servos checked out, i still had to fly her this evening. It was almost like pulling teeth but i took your advice and tried moving the battery back some. I like it even more. I still have some tweaking to do, but this evening i started to really open her up and beat her around alil .

i think i know the stick movements for the outside version but can you explain it to me, just incase. IIRC that's how Joe Smith does his.
