Fun plane I had mine in 1985-86.
I had mine powered with an OS .50FSR. That is before OS ruined their motors IMO by putting the needle valve away from the carb. They just dont run the same now.
Ok Im done venting.....

Ah yes, loved that foam board. I had the EZ Laser 30 back in the
early 80's. At that time the 30 size was about $175.00 and their
60 size pattern Supra ARF cost a little over $600.00

I'm sure they had the bigger size too, as the the one stuck to the
lead paint. My 30 size had a span of about 36/38". Traded that
wrinkled old girl (plane) off a couple years ago. What's the WS of
that wall hanger?

EZ is still available thru MRC but they are VERY proud of their planes. The World Model line of planes thru AirBorne Co. are much better and about 40% cheaper.

The most exciting crash I ever witnessed was when one of our club members strained his giant EZ Diablo through a tree on the far side of our field. It snowed on a hot day in July. Foam board was eveywhere.

I've got the exact same Laser partially built lying around in my basement. Not sure what I'm going to do with it. This is the first time I have ever heard of anyone else knowing anything about them. Ya' want it?

Hey TiGuy
Do you still have that EZ laser 200? Is it theapproximately 58" wingspan one with the Bud Light paint scheme? Might be interested in buying it.

I have a EZ Laser
I was thinking about selling it. I got it second hand off a guy at my club. It looks like it never flew. All it needs is a canopy (I tried to make one but it didn't work out very good) and landing gear.
Let me know if you want it. I'll sell it for $75 shipped.

Hi Sinyfly
Thanks for the reply and offer... but I'm looking for the other EZ plane. My flying buddy had 16 years and over 600 flights on his
Bud Light Laser. It was stolen from the back of his truck a few weeks ago and we are trying to find an exact replacement (mostly for nostalgic reasons). Picture of the airplane we are looking for attached

RE: Anybody remeber this ol arf?
Here is a picture of an EZ Bud Light Laser (87" wing span) that my dad built. He is thinking about selling it. It has never flown and does not even have the engine monted yet. Many years ago he bought a G-62 for it so has that also.
Let me know if anyone has an interest in it

RE: Anybody remeber this ol arf?
I had several of these EZ Arfs in the 80". They were IMO the first decent Arfs on the market, but became too expensive, and were tricky to fix. I Had:
Talon 25 w/ Supertigre .25
Chipmunk .40 w/ Enya .60 4c
Chipmunk .40 w/ Enya .120 4c
Cap 21 w/ OS .60 "long Stroke"
Diabolo w/ Enya .90 4c
All flew great, but a lot heavier than today's airplanes.

I thought I was the only one with one of those Bud-Lite Lasers!!!! I've got the 60 size....but currently it's in Mothballs...All the plastic has become REALLY brittle over time... last time i flew it a couple of years ago, It was quite a nice flying plane!
