That would be someones bad idea of a Laser 200. I don't think Lanear ever made a Laser that was that off scale.

Are you sure about the 144 inch wing span. It looks more like 93 inch. I have never see a 40% plane fit on a couch as well have a small single motor in it. Just curious.

What ever it is, it looks like it's got quite a bit of Swap Shop rash. The cowl does resemble a Laser.

9' long eh? You must have some pretty high ceilings to have space above the plane with it ontop of a couch.

Thanks to everyone for the help. I dont know anything about this plane except what the guy has told me. He said 144in wing span and 9 feet long. If you look at the picture you will see a red and white plane on the other couch that has a 91in wing span. Big diffrence between the 2. I have commited to buying the plane unseen because of the size and the price. I plan on removeing the cover then maybe glass it. I will post pictures hen it arrives on thursday. Does any of you own a plane as big as this? I have a 124in beaver and a 105in citabria. Is there a huge diffrence in flight between them?

It sure doesn't look as big as what the guy says it is.

Maybe he is a giant and has one big @ss couch!
