Now that I have my Wren 44 Turbo prop in front of me, then I can tell you , I will be building from plans (from Jack Strickland) a Laser 200 34% scale and powering it with the Wren 44 Turbo prop.

I will try and post pictures as much as I can and hopefully the build thread will not take too long to do.

I will accept any and all constructive criticism, but please I ask, if its negative, don't bother, there is enough of that here.

This is plans built with the jig built wings also. And we have a lot of Laser enthusiast out there.

when I get the plans, this week most likely, I will set up the jig with pictures and start.

Stay tuned.

Thanks Scott,
I will be calling on you and Jack for the Laser and Hayes is pretty much the expert when it comes to turbines and turbo props, and he is helping a lot

Roger

Roger, I am in the covering stage on my 40% Laser. The build is quick, the covering - not so quick.

Tony,
What type of covering are you doing? plastic film or fabric as Scott did.??

Roger

Monokote mostly with some Ultrakote mixed in to match cowl color. I am using a pre-painted cowl from Hanger 9. Its the Cap 232 cowl.

Lets see some pictures....

Here I am attaching a pic of the Turbo Prop engine by Wren

You're very welcome, I am still waiting for the plans to arrive, sometimes our postal system seems like the old Pony Express

I think if I would build turboprop I would go with Raven, and have scale airplane too.

Yes I know and you are right, but I want to kill two birds with one stone, and not going for scale. I will be using this combo for a learning process on operating the Turbo Prop...

Roger

This could easily be my favorite build thread of all time. Favorite plane + interesting setup. Looking forward to it!

Roger,
love the HP calculator in your photo. best calc in the world!!!!

so, is this turbine smaller than the ones used to power 35% planes like QQ's and Brian H's?

good luck with the new toy.

I'm not sure on the one QQ uses, but this one is the Wren 44
