    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    The 105 is the only AJ airplane I have flown, but the 115 Laser is on my list next. The DA150 is the perfect match for the 115 Laser. Terry Wiles is a close friend of mine and he absolutely loves it, and is who convinced me to buy the 105 Laser.

    Maiden went extremely well on the AJ Laser 230z! What a phenomenal flying airplane, can't wait to get more stick time on it. Today was completely blown out with 20mph wind.

    Tidied up the Laser last night, just waiting on my mufflers now (hopefully they'll show up today). Wiring still a mess inside, but it'll do. Intakes enlarged as well. Before: After: Love this scheme.

    I'll be using Maxima SL receivers since I can use up to 4 of them. I'll only be using 2 for now, mounted in 2 different locations.

    Hi Rob, Unfortunately the X24 will only work with SL enabled Optima receivers (such as the Optima SL, or the Optima D (Optima D is too fragile for this application)). It won't work with Optima 6, 7 or 9. You can, however, use up to 4 Maxima SL receivers with the X24 to give you a huge amount of...

    Two wing panels all ready to rock, working on the fuselage next. I stopped at this point for the night, tomorrow night I'll get everything hooked up and the X24 programmed for everything. Also working on putting snakeskin over all the wires :)

    The dual stab tubes are nice, the front tube is only about 6" long and only slips into the stabs about 1.5". The XPS X24 is probably the greatest channel expansion device on the market right now: http://www.xtremepowersystems.net/proddetail.php?prod=XPS-X24D

    Past couple of nights I've been getting the Laser airworthy. Right now I'm over halfway there, just need to install aileron servos/linkages, plumb the tank, install the J&A mufflers, clearance the cowl for the mufflers, install the XPS X24 and tidy up the wiring inside and she'll be ready :)

    Made a wing rack since my pile of airplanes grew exponentially this week :oblong: Only cost about $20 in parts. Since the rack that used to be here was used to store 2 of my giants I no longer own, this is where the wings will now go :) 11 total racks with a few still open for more...
