For the landing I had to line it up on the runway and then kill the motor from the transmitter.

Jack, it was funny to hear my flying buddies yelling at me to keep the nose down and the speed up, this would have been the perfect advise for a heavy 40% with lots of drag. 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
