60" Laser-EXP

You went through those servos pretty quick!

Got the Laser and 4 charged batts with me today, going to do a little lunch time flying :megaroll:

Lol, yeah. Only 75 flights on those servos.

I fly pretty hard but I think ill stick to my 7245's for now.

What voltage are you sending to these?

So I got a pair of flights in today during lunch.
Found my happy balance point, about 1/2" forward of the wing tube. KE had almost zero pitch or roll coupling, as I was able to fly easy KE without any mixes.
As with my other flights, poptops and KE spins were just downright nasty.
Also, found this plane to be on the easy side for hovering, considering I was able to hold some nice ones, and I'm not that good!
This is likely my favorite 60" EXP thus far.... But I want to get a little more time on it before I decide.

wow, 1/2 from the tube would be extremely tail heavy for me. I do wish I could get my pack back that far without being tail heavy. Just to see how it affects flight characteristics.

That's where I've got mine too (5S 4000mAH 30C / 529g pack). And my ESC is in the same location as yours. Just barely have to push down ELV to stay level when inverted.

71 flights to date. The Laser flies BIG, in that it is very stable at all attitudes, hovers super nice, and just begs to be flown close in. Love the KE performance and tight KE loops (flying with SFGs'). High AOA KE passes can be flown amazingly slow. I wanna 50cc+ version of the Laser for sure

That's interesting you say tight KE loops. I can't get mine even close to fight. I have my rudder just about touching the elevator too. I don't remember what it measured at that spot but it is not the recommended 45 degrees. I have no problems in KE flight in fact it's great. Just can't get it to pull up and over very good.
