    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    I haven't installed the gear yet. If you get it too close I'd imagine the flexing of the gear might crack the fairing. Too bad it doesn't fit flush...

    Looks like tomorrow may be a flying day! 35 degrees!! Then is going to stay in the 20's all week hmmmm. Good thing I just got some servos in to continue a 60e beast build for an older club member. Would be nice to finish it to free up the hangar space

    Thanks! I think it's the most beautiful place on planet earth... when it's nice out. Unfortunately I get to put up with a lot of cloudy, rainy, nasty days way too often. I think we may have broken the 24 year old annual rainfall record of 85" this year. :veryshocked:

    Not a pretty New Year's Eve for Alaska... Gusts up to 60mph. Just talked to a Fedex pilot who had icing the whole route! Yikes! There's some Radome Rime ice this morning.

    Once it's below freezing it's no longer fun to fly an internal combustion engine, I'll fly a Sunday type electric flyer to get my fix. :p

    Vess 20A (or maybe it's a 19B??), I tried the 20B and it was too much prop. It's spinning about 7,300ish at WOT. I keep it a little rich with the dense air. I'd like for try a falcon 19X8, but so far this has been an okay setup for me, it transitions ok, not very snappy.

    Those trees are like black holes, they claim many planes! There is a lot of wind changes at our field as well... Something about mountains and a glacier, but it consistently has a slight breeze from the glacier.

    I got to fly this weekend, temps came up to freezing ha! It was cold, but fleece lined carrharts, down jacket, and a propane heater between flights make it possible. Snuck two flights in with the slick and a couple electric flights as well. No wind, or snow, and I must say a plowed runway is...
