Thanks for sharing that with us Charles. I think Leo was way ahead of his time. Can you imagine if he was still with us and kept evolving the Laser? I know he was into the Shark program when he passed but I think it would have proven to be too complex.


When I built my Laser I tried to imagine what canges could Leo have made to it to compete with the current aircraft out there. The first thing I did was to put a cleaner canopy on it. If you look at the pictures of the Laser as it hangs in it's current resting place you will notice it did have a canopy update. The next was to clean up the cowl. My next laser project will have airfoiled tail section and some better shapped wheel pants. I can't help but think that if Leo were alive we would see him tearing it up in the Red Bull races with the Edges.
