Well,

My new customized (& slightly modified) laser 3D is done. The airplane took two SOLID weeks of building night after night and a whole lot of laying in bed thinking of how to reduce weight on an airplane that is already suppose to be a little above 5lbs. I weighed the jewel after completion (without the cowl ->still painting) and the airplane came out to be 4 1/4 lbs. I have had 6 flights on it already and have another scheduled for tommarrow. The Saito .72 provides excessive power for the airplane. I have only gotten the hovers down to five feet off the deck so far, but when the new wears off Im sure tail touches will be no problem. As soon as I get the cowl on the plane I plan to take a few pictures and post them on here for everyone to look at. If you are intrested in building one of these planes then tower sells the kit for around $120 (yeah thats a lot) but you wont be disappointed [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].
