Laser 200 ARF

[juicesqueezer]

Are there any manufactures/company's out there producing this great plane now? 1/4 to 1/3 scale? Thanks, Joe

Lanier makes a 1/3 scale. I actually have one that I'm trying to sell RTF on RCU. Feel free to check it out... let me know if your interested.

I don't know of any that produce ARF's But www.bobflies has kits. I almost got one myself but I have a 30% that never flew in the basement. Don't ask why.

Thanks Zoomer, wil check that out. Found one on web, but when called, they don't have anymore. This was a quarter scale. Nice size for transporting, etc. It was a China Co.

Thanks again, Joe

Hey Donnie: Great looking plane. Went on Godfrey's site yesterday and there is no Laser there????? It says something about one coming, but that is all. Will keep checking back. I hope that he offers a quarter scale Laser! I'm still doing baby steps now.
I have a Bucker Jungman that I have been working on and off now for about 7 months. This is an old Carl Goldberg kit. Nice plane. I am mounting a 26cc in the nose for getty up and go! Hope to have it ready to take up to TN in October, but not looking good time wise.

Robert has a new web page being made , the "Bud Light " Laser is the prototype , I will take some pix tomorrow of the first production ARF ...

Kudos to Robert and April for completing my Laser 200 to 95% ARF!
This post is late in coming but better late than never!


NOTE: I've lost all the historic photos of my planes since 1979 due to a computer failure. So I'm scouring message threads to recreate the archive. (pays back to share.)

Sorry to hear of the computer failure. I know all about loseing pictures! Great looking Laser!
Power?????

Thanks -
DA 85 w/ cansiter. juicesqueezer, This plane only weighs 22 lbs. RTF!!
I believe FlyingSkunks will be outfitting one with a DA 50. I personally think the fiddy could make many flyers happy.
(I trimmed +1/2" off the torso for the 33% pilot)

Heck, my 88"w.s EF YAK (w/ DA 50) is about that weight and will pull out of a hover, but just not at Space Shuttle Speed. (yeah, I used a bit extra glue or something - and like making the pilot head move with the rudder and stuff )

You should really contact Robert for a chat http://www.bobflies.com/ if you are "think'n..." . You send your design scheme if you want them to take the kit to ARF completion. They will make you HAPPY if it takes every penny you got!
Seriously, NO REGRETS by me on this choice.
