Status: offline 		I have a 76" Lazy Ace that I flew for the first time last August. It has a G23 for power. That's adequate but there's no safety margin power wise. It is an easy plans build (my first) with no problem areas that I noted. It flies beautifully, even for a novice like me. You need to keep a little power on during approach. It sure looks pretty in the air.

You can see a pic of it at this address: http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/george.jarvis/

Just go to the R/C section.

Status: offline 		I mounted the servos in the tail but didn't need any other weight adjustments. Watch the wing incidence carefully. If they are not 0 degrees the aircraft doesn't fly as well.

Status: offline 		Skip,
You should get the plans from Chuck and make the kit yourself. The ribs are the only area that a kit would help as far as I can see. The fuse formers are all built up anyway. Chuck includes a set of instructions with his plans. Follow those instructions and you'll have no problem. The ribs take some time but they're not difficult. The cord is constant so one size fits all for each wing. This was my first build from plans and I had no difficulty. If you decide to build from plans, keep my email handy and feel free to keep in touch.

Wave on your next pass over our "Rock In The Sea". Regards, Spitflyer.

I recently bought a Lazy Ace, 76" and the plane's in good shape... but there's no cowl...

Does anyone have an extra cowl or a good picture of what the original cowl looks like?

Thanks

Larry

Status: offline 		The Lazy Ace was designed with no cowl. However, I wanted the cowl look when I built mine. I used a fiberglass cowl from Fiberglass Specialties that was designed for the Dynaflite Chipmunk. It fits easily on the 76" Lazy Ace and gives it somewhat of a Tiger Moth look. If you're interested email me and I'll send you a picture of it. Regards, Spitflyer.

Status: offline 		I've also built up the Super Lazy Ace (96" span) from plans and found it pretty straightforward too. The chord is constant, so I just made up a plywood rib template and cut away on a band saw. Fiberglass Specialties supplied me with a nice fiberglass cowl with cheeks, which is nice for my twin cylinder engine. I am ready to cover, but am still dithering on what to use. Chuck wants Monocote, but I like fabric.....partly to add drag and slow it down if you can believe that. Anyone have any ideas on aluminum gear? I'm not crazy about bending all that big wire.
