KEITH RUSH · 08-19-2007, 11:25 PM

I'm looking for a little advice from you guys. I just recently picked up this Laser airframe and when I was at the guy's house picking it up, we weighed it at 19lbs give or take a few ounces with a 114" wing span. The only engine I have is a 3W-106 (Blue head TOC version). This engine is actually for a Aeroworks 260 that I am covering right now, but because I don't have anything to fly currently, I was wandering if the 106 would fly the laser. Iv'e never flown anything over a 30%, so I'm just not sure how much weight the 106 will fly. I'm pretty positive that this Laser was designed around the 3W-120 and from all that I can find about the 120, the 106 seems pretty compariable except for the 120 weighed more. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Keith
