Is there a reason I can't see pictures on this thread? Thanks
Sorry.... Your computer does not allow pictures of glow powered planes. LOL....just kidding. I think I posted this before the change over and upgrade done here at GSN. I will upload the photos again so you can see it.

Lasers are cool . I'm on a huge laser kick right now.. Got 3 and a 4th coming.. Learned giant scale in the early 2000's on a 1/3 scale Lanier laser..However they are done now so here is my idea and another I cut my teeth on back in the day...

Cap 10 or cap 21! I would be so excited to see..

Also mentioned would be a nice super chipmunk.. Pepsi sky dancer. Make it a 3 piece wing where the center section stays on the plane on its gear..

But the cap 10.....that would win my heart:)

Now that would be very cool. Haven't seen a really nice Weeks Special R/C style. Can't say I have ever had a thing for the Laser though. My old Extra from '96 was ok... but I sure do like the "Classy" styling of the 260's. Guess to me that will be old school design. Course the 330sp from PAU is so sexy too.

Yellow Aircraft made a big Cap 10 and there is one partially built on craigslist, check in the Binghampton, NY area. 81" WS maybe?

Allways wanted a larger 50 to 60cc sized Goldberg Super Chipmunk.



There is a kit out there now but I don't like the way it looks. The Cowl and the Canopy don't look right. I also don't want an ultra light oversized kit and I also think the kit is to expensive.



Maybe I'm just getting old.

@Tseres we got a few Chipmunk flyin in our club. They are made by Slipstream ( decent for the price) 30cc size, but Azhar was supposed to be bringing in a 50cc version Chipmunk.
