The Laser 3D is a great flying plane. Test flew my buddy's today. Has a OS 50 with a APC 12-4. Very nose heavy and still flew well. Didn't have a chance to hover it, wind was BLOWING, but just held it in a harrier and flew it backwards a bit. I fly a Madness with a YS45 and they seem to fly very similar.

The Laser 3D may be a bit better because: Lighter with a more powerful motor than mine. The knife-edge of the Laser was much better, not as much coupling. BTW, Laser was built without the wingtips, for this reason. Laser has a bit more wing area and the straight leading edge, with no spoiler, it would drop like a rock and not drop a wing.

Add a tail brace, if not you will rip the horizontal or vertical stab off.

Great 3D plane. No good for pattern. Combo 3D/Pattern plane, not many choices and none of them cheap or made for a 40-50 size motor. Top Model is making some like the Diablo 2000 and the Preator.
