Hello @Daytonarc,

You have come through for me again. . . . . . What you have found for me is AWESOME ! ! ! ! I don't know how to thank you enough. Even though you've given me allot more work to do, I couldn't be happier. . . . . I hate to ask you this, but do you have the black and white image you posted it PDF format? If you did, it would save me allot of work. I'd be more than willing to pay you for them if you would email it to me. My email address is;

hrrcflyer@hotmail.com

Thanks Buddy

Thanks for the pics Kelly,

A flying Buddy of mine has a Laser built from a 1/3 scale Godfrey kit and he is going with the Budweiser scheme on his. I never have acquired a taste for beer anyway . . . .

You know, I almost didn't even turn on my laptop tonight. My boss and friend for over 35 years passed away Monday night and we had the funeral this afternoon. but I know he's in a better place right now and I also know he would chew my ass out if he found me depressed because of his passing. Anyway, I am certainly glad I did turn the laptop on because I know I have friends on this site that would make me glad I did. Plus the pictures you and @Daytonarc posted really made my day.

So, life goes on and it looks like I will have some more work to do after I get the motor switched on my Laser.

Thanks Fellas

David,

My apologies. I just read your post and see you are grieving. Sorry to hear this my friend.

Glad to help. I don,t have a pdf though.

That's OK @Daytonarc, I can figure it out from what you so posted here.

Hey @stangflyer, this is why I haven't started. . . . .

Now I have a dilemma. Like I said in the "workshop" thread, I had to go get my 50cc AMR Stick on Saturday so I can finish it which is where the problem starts. I am now undecided with regards to what I want to do. Do I fix, strip and recover my Laser first or do I build my Stick? Doing both together is not an option for me. As much as I hate to say it, I'm leaning towards building my Stick first because I know what to expect with regard to flying quality and my flying style. I'm not saying the Laser won't fly well, but I have first hand experience with how well the AMR Stick flies since my Buddy has one. To make the decision even tougher, my Buddy has offered me a 3W72 twin he has sitting in his cabinet to use on the AMR Stick so my motor dilemma is resolved.

If I deciede to build my AMR Stick first, I will start a thread on it so you guys can give me a hard time. . . . .

So, what do I do?

 

[BalsaDust]

Don't matter so long as they both get done. If the stick is in the ARF stage I would say do it first.

 

[stangflyer]

Personally, I think you just need to hire a stand in for your 8-5. Then you'd have plenty of time to do both.

Hey Chris,

Unfortunately the stick is no where near the ARF stage yet. The fuse isn't even half way done and the wing halves are not even started. Then I have to cover the beast . .

Rob,

There's two problems with your advice. Nobody is foolish enough to let me hire them and the second problem is that if I could hire someone, I couldn't afford to do anything else. . . . LMAO
