This just wasn’t the case with the Laser, on a no wind day the plane just did a smoooooth 3 point landing. Now that was fun. Jack, I have put up a thread here on FG with some pictures. I posted my flight experience here to keep Roger interested in finishing his. Hurry Roger, the summer is winding down and you guy’s get snow upthere, what in October?

Tony , you are welcome to post here anytime, I love hearing about your laser and I think Jack has a winner with plans...

Mine won't fly this year, as it is still a bit off, and I am going to alabama this week so will be off building but it will move on...

Snow in October??? hell no, this is not eskimo country. We get our first snow Usually in December ...

Thanks for the report

Roger

To all the loyal supporters of this thread, I will be out of the country for about a week, so there will not be any reporting or pictures from me for this time away.

I will be back next week and go at it , am fitting the wings at this time with proper alignement and building a wing retainer..

Don't forget what I said sometime ago, when you are 80% you only have 80% to go

But with reports of flight like Tony's, I am looking forward to get this done and fly it.
