Hello, I have been flying mine for the past 2 months with a 60CC 2cyl Inline 4 stroke from NGH. It flies very well and very Scale like on a 23-10 Falcon Prop. It does Loops, Rolls, Slow rolls and is Very good at Slips with it's Large rudder. A Great Buy From Legend Hobbies!

I have one of the four imported into the UK by J.Perkins, I`ve waited months for it! Now complete, I have fitted the last production Laser 310 completed by Jon at the factory. Laser now closed but spares may eventually be sold by Model Shop Leeds. The end of an era. Mine weighs a little under 26Lbs. About 8oz of lead on F1 firewall. The two cylinder probably weighs more than the gasser Fitz has installed. Keep that tail light when you assemble. Seagull models are often tail heavy at build. Try their Stearman! The tailplane is constructed like a cricket bat! Landing gear...replace the 4mm locking set screws with 4mm cap screws. The set screws are very soft . Caps screws can be tigthed fully with more confidence. I replaced the kit wheels with air tyres which are more capable at absorbing landing shocks. Engine runs were successfully completed this morning. All ok. I`m constricted by a local regulation which prohibits flying a model of 26lb weight near an active airport. I have to go to a flying site to the east of London to ensure compliance. I hope to maiden the model later this week.

It's been a while since I have watched a video on r/c airplanes of any kind. Since the FAA has stuck their nose into things, plus I don't have the money to purchase all the doodads that they require so you can fly. But I enjoyed watching you assemble this beautiful plane. Stay safe!

Tip: To remove covering from the stab for gluing, try using the blade insert for your Sequre 666 soldering iron. Great hot knife that won't injure the balsa so quickly as a razor blade. Great vid, as usual, my friend.

@TheRekitter 2 ай бұрын

I bet that many of your viewers could use a tutorial on how to find mounting locations for the engine and linkages. How you locate the exhaust hole in the cowl could be useful as well.

@Lando62 2 ай бұрын

I bought one of these and a few of the parts weren’t drilled in the correct position which made it difficult to assemble. Got there in the end though.

Have you tried rubber free flight or compressed air? Much less expensive and yet open to great creativity. Of course some different flight requirements and aerodynamic chalanges.

Yes. I used to build free flight models and have a great fondness for rubber powered models.
