IMAC Scratch build Laser 200

Roger,
In the past I have found that reflex works better on aerobatic mid wing planes rather than flap, have you ever tried reflex? The plane will just float in.

Have a question or let me say trying understand or just a discussion. Thinking about the spoilers, flaps and reflex setup. My thoughts with flaps gives you more lift can slow you down a little more but it can some times float by. Roger looking at your spoilers on top of the wing I would have thought that you would put them up on the down leg in the air to slow the plane down and cut lift and get the plane down. Reflex does the same thing cut back on lift and slow the plane down. What are your thoughts.

more work done, you will notice I started to clean the cowling to repaint it, lots of sanding to do and get a paint match, then the canopy, transparent blue, , I have done this before with Testors transparent blue paint, but this time I didn't have any , couldn't find any, but I had plenty of the Dupli-Color anadizing blue and you know what I think it is the same thing, the results are exactly the same, spray the inside , which is why there is a sort of handle with masking tape

That is very cool.

I know many of you guys fly IMAC aerobatic airplanes, so I have a question, my laser is 95 inches long with 95 inches wing span, what is the weight I should be looking for ? I will be weighing it when I do the CG, and I would like to know if I'm in the ball park.

Thanks for any input

Ya no kidding, do you do your programming with companion or on the radio itself?
