Yes it will be a floater. My 33% Laser at 16# is an incredible flying airplane.

I agree, it will be a great flying airplane. My Lanier 1/3 Laser 200 with A DA 50cc @ 15lbs. 8 ozs. was one of the best flying airplanes I ever owned.

I think that's great!! Weight reduction in models is religion to most that fly Pattern and CL Stunt. Great to see it's getting through to IMAC circles too. Now if youse guys can do something about your noise makers.....It can be done....put a pipe on that DA85, soft mount it on a Hyde style soft mount and use a 24-25 x 12 3 bladed Mezjlik.

No DA-85....but better! Thanks for the support guys. When I posted that my 30% Pilot Yak 54 came in at under 14#, they said I was full of crap! If you start from the beginning with weight-management in mind, it is not that hard!
