    AJ 93" Laser Reflex build/assembly!!!

    Man, those are very interesting results. No rush, but I'd love to see your testing/data if you can post it. Once I get the low pressure lip installed on my plane, I'll fly it and check temp. Then I'll cover the carb hole, fly and check temp again. Thanks for the info! -Craig

    AJ 93" Laser Reflex build/assembly!!!

    Interesting suggestion! I'd love to see some telemetry data on that! Can you post any findings? I only ask because these AJ airplanes are super popular and that carb hole comes "open" like that from the factory... And I've never seen anyone cover it up for any reason. -Craig

    AJ 93" Laser Reflex build/assembly!!!

    After the first couple flights I realized I needed to add some baffling and a low pressure ramp on the bottom of the cowl. I got the baffling 98% done this morning. I picked up some 1/4" black foam from hobby lobby and started cutting/glueing. I still have some trimming to do but it's close. I...

    AJ 93" Laser Reflex build/assembly!!!

    I got the cowl trial fitted to see how well the spinner lines up... very happy to report that the spinner gap is perfect and the alignment is near perfect. I also tested the ibec with the shop lights off... its unfortunate that the light is green. If anyone has a blue one and wants to trade...

    Exactly... here's a better picture of the fuel dot. No idea what the brand is. I just happened to find these 2 in a drawer. The powerbox pump is a good one. I've had buddies use them with lots of success. Personally, I've never had any issues with a standard pump and check valve. -Craig

    AJ 93" Laser Reflex build/assembly!!!

    Man, you don't miss anything! :). The switch is awesome... it works and looks great. It has 2 inputs and 2 outputs. (2 for the receiver and 2 for the switch). You can order it with different connectors if you use something different than the deans. You can't balance charge through the switch...
