Wimpy.I also flew my "New" Laser 2000 Friday...flies like a dream..very gentle and after my FPE 2.4 gets broke in,then will try some 3-D stuff......Very satisfied with it's flight performance...My only big problem in building this kit was the cowl..wouldn't fit..did make adjustments and everything is ok...total all up weight is 16 Ibs...will fly again today....am sure I'll have some fun with this plane this summer..............could say more, but Wimpy has said it all for me....
