Re: 40% Turbo Laser (scratch built)
The landing gear mod worked very well today, as my plane seems attracted to tall grass. No damage, and it went into the grass hard enough to flip upside down, no damage.

Re: 40% Turbo Laser (scratch built)
Just got back from the maiden flight of the 40% laser.
It was up in 10 meters, flew on rails and no trim whatsoever. Awesome.... I'm a happy camper  Roger

Re: 40% Turbo Laser (scratch built)
Hi Roger
Great news about the test flight. At 26 pounds, it will handle very well in wind gusts. Excellent build, very well done. Regards Jack

Re: 40% Turbo Laser (scratch built)
Here is an update,
A bit of a story, and I nearly lost the airplane on Sunday. While coming in for a landing, a bit fast , touched down but too fast to stop for the end of the runway so I decide to go around, add throttle, no reaction, remember this is a turbo prop engine, the amount of throttle the engine picked up is just enough to barely clear the tall grass but I need to pull up for bigger shrubs, which I did, found myself hovering at the end of the runway barely, then she picked up and I went straight up like a bat out of hell. Now what I want to say is this, for those asking the questions about boost tabs working or not in a hover or extremely slow flight, no more worries, with the small servos used I could perfectly control the airplane in this attitude.. Although, not the best way to test this LOLOL... Oh ya the landing went well , I knelt down and prayed to Jesus, Budda, Alla, and anyone who would listen. then did some laundry.  Roger
