hello guys, i just bought a 1/4 pacific laser 200 kit. I am wandering what size engine to put in it. and also a smoke system too. I am looking at the os 120 four stroke with pump , will this plane be ok with this engine or too much power. I am looking to go vertical from a hover with it. thanks for your time....... tom

I am using a Saito 120 on mine. I am almost done with it and hope to have it flying next week!!

is that engine satio 120 a 4 stroke. I am looking at an os 120 4 stroke or can i put an os 160 2 stroke on it. or can i put an os 108 on it to go from hover to vertically up.

ok now i am leaning towards a os 1.60 2 stroke , will this be too much power for about a 8 to 12 pound laser 200. any comments would be great. thanks tom

The Pacific Laser is smaller and lighter than the other (so called) 120 sized aerobats. It will fly the IMAC advanced pattern with a 91. It will weigh between 8 and 9 pounds ready to fly.

The 120 four stroke will give it unlimited verticle from a hover, as will the 108. The 160 will be too big (prop will stick out too far from the front of the cowl) and heavy (you'll need a lot of tail weight, even with the servos back there).

BTW, there is a review in the current (July) issue of RCM.

I purchased the kit a souple of weeks ago, and I am in slowly in the process of building it. I just read the reveiw in RCM and PAM has made a few changes in the kit from the kit being reveiwed.

1. Elevator control has been changed to dual servos in the tail. Cutouts are already in place and they are even setup so that you don't need a reversing Y harness to make them travel in the same direction.

2. In the earlier kits, the builder had the option of gluing the wing together or keeping the halves unglued for ease of transportation. Now, the wings are the plug-in type with an aluminum rod and nylon bolts that pull the halves into the fuse. There is no option for gluing the halves together.

3. The canopy hatch is now smaller than the original version, I think due to the fact that they changed the wing mounting system.




I am running a Saito 120 4s with a 15x8 Zinger prop. Hitec 645mg on each elevator half, Hitec 605 on the pull-pull rudder, JR 537s on the ailerons and throttle. Also Hitec 1100mah battery. JR 662 radio system.

I hope to have the model flying within the next week!!!

Anybody fly their Laser yet? I'm looking for some real-world reviews. Thanks.

Has anyone flown with a G-26 up front yet?
