Looking for sme advice from the brain trust

Thinking about a next airplane.

Leaning to the EF MXS 63

Can't go too big, has to fit in a medium sized suv.

Electric suggestions, while others make ICE work, I have not

I have solid precision and 3D skills, but view myself as a pilot who always has more to learn.

Thoughts, guidance, opinions?

Ok so if it was me I would look at the 73" AJ Laser or the smaller one which I think is a 52". Incredible airframe and an amazing performer! Look at the thread with videos Supatim did. I had a chance to fly it and Holy Crap I love that plane and you better believe I'm gonna get one! It was actually my plane but I wanted Tim to wring it out and show the community what it's capable of, but it bit the dust.... :-(

Supatim did mention it was his favorite plane and he has had and he's had two! Lol

But what about the power system?

I see you mentioned electric, he used a dle 35 and I'm a gasser head so [MENTION=271]Enterprise[/MENTION] or @dh7 would be good resources for that. Sorry man!

Here's what aj-aircraft says for power but they don't go into which one to get just recommend setup.

Mine had a Hacker A60-8S on 12s 3300. AJ recommends the A60-5S on 8s. The 3 big A60s are the same motor with just different winds. I just sold my A60-7S which is the 10s version or a hot 12s.

I also have the 83 MXS and I like it more. It does not have any bad 3D habits like the AJ does. The AJ is better at precision.

What bad habits are those?

Happy Independence Day to all!!!!!

Mine came back from SEFF in a trash bag due to it's tendency to snap in rapid pitch changes. I tested this some with my 56 afterwards and talked to some other owners. Just a byproduct of the high taper wing and AJs desire for good snap roll performance.

The plane flies very well and if you are not a person that loves walls, waterfalls, and KE spins, then you will never notice this. Realize I mainly fly EF stuff these days and I am just used to the way they fly and not used to having to feed lots of correction into a wall to hover.

Put lights on one of my small glow planes today. Will fly it tonight. Will get photos when I get a chance. Right now I have chicken to put on the smoker and a pork shoulder to smoke for a fun fly tomorrow. I'll tease y'all with photos of that too! :thumbup: And while all of the smoking is going on, my happy a$$ will be relaxing in the pool with a cold adult beverage. Ever have a frozen jack and coke? It is like a coke slurpee with jack. They are awesome! Gotta go!

That sounds good!!! I'll have to try it. How do you make it?
