I just used the canopy cover that came with the plane, wish I'd have done it sooner. Good thing is we've been really hot lately with brutal sun and I haven't had any cooling issues. Every flight just gets better and better, this weekend was no exception.

Probably the best maiden I've ever had. I didn't know what to expect, this being my first fuel plane. For some reason I did have a hard time getting fuel to the carb to begin with. I ended up having to pinch off the vent hose and blow into the fill line to get fuel to the carb. Once there was fuel the DA ran super good. Each re start started on the first bump every time . I never made any carb adjustments. Low side seems perfect, high side seems just a tad rich. I'm going to leave it alone for now. As far as the airframe, the first word that comes to me is perfection. Zero trim clicks. For the first flight to feel like the plane is on rails is incredible.
Thanks to everyone on here for the help and information , especially Pappa Trey. This is going to be a fun ride! |

My first gasser was a 30cc Giant Super Sportster, that's a far cry from a thoroughbred like the laser. All I can say is it only gets better from here. Out of about 50 attempts I got one rolling loop over the top and back around. It was ugly but it qualified. My brain just short circuits when it gets to the top of the loop.

New Cowling
I ordered a new cowl for my Laser and when I was putting it on, I realized that the hole for the longer 3mm screw in the bottom was not drilled... It might be a little challenging to get the hole in the right place, but I'm sure I'll be fine. I definitely don't remember drilling out the original one. Unless I'm going crazy...
Our club's Fall Classic is next week if anyone is interested in joining us in Lexington, KY. We have a great facility and a wonderful group of guys to fellowship with. |
