    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.

    I have the same aircraft (still in box ), with the 63cc stinger engine, (still in box) would have liked to have seen your electrical set up, this video gave me some Ideas, especially around the wing mounts as you can see the wood after installing the mounts, so I will paint a little so it looks neater, and the tail support mounts paint black, I also have the 8" chrome spoke pneumatic wheels so that will help with the extra weight needed, my biggest plane is a 80" stick with a 30cc twin, Thanks mate , ozziebolland, Australia

    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.
