Meets all expectations

First 5 flights with batteries mounted on sliding plates just ahead of the tank...nose heavy (precision location). Just as Tim said, knife edge required ZERO mix in sequence mode! Very amazing as this was a first for me. The Lasee also required about 10% less elev and rudd expo than some other planes I flew. With more rudder throw for flat turns, slow knife edge and loops some coupling started creeping in. Moving the CG more aft to about 3/4" ahead of the tube ( batteries on aft plate behind the tube) for freestyle flight required some mixing....just 2-4 % all-round. Flat turns are slow and tight, and knife edge performance is very strong. The Laser does knife edge loops/Cubans, death slides etc easily with no mushyness at the bottom. Other maneuvers like rollers and slow rolls are just pure beauty. Rolling loops are superb. Overall I'm super thrilled to get what I want in a plane. At 21 flights it is basically trimmed and ready for more. DA70 is now all set ad I'll be exploring a mix of precision, 3D and XA. Maybe some IMAC too. Things I didn't like were: -The balsa block that fills the landing gear gap under belly, -literally nowhere to mount a switch...had to build up switch mounting areas. The cheezy foam tailwheel disintegrated after 10 normal landings.. had to change the whole unit. Small issues. Overall I'm very satisfied with my Laser, I LOVE it.

So far 5 stars

The boxes were doubled and heavy. Well packaged and no damage. Covering was perfect. I have always studied pattern planes and the whole F3A concept for as pure precision, and always wanted this in a bigger gas powered airframe. Unfortunately IMAC planes just don't get close enough. Usually not enough side area, and the stabs are most always too high up. Determined to design my own plane and get what I want I saw the Laser 230Z or the Votec as the only subjects that would allow the specs I needed. Ibwas trying to design a truly non-mixing aerobatic aircraft for all disciplines. Then came the AJ laser! Andrew's design looked extremely similar to the plans I drew. I wanted dramatic side area fir knife edge based artistic maneuvers (imac planes are not designed for that), which ofcourse makes a plane look pregnant and ugly to those not so inclined. Either you love the AJ laser or you hate it, it has an unusual deep snubby look, which is what you get in a deep sided plane. Unboxing the fuselage revealed pure beauty...it is so HUGE, and light! Notice that the wings are just below thrust line at the approximate non-mixing location. I would have preferred the stabs to be lowered even more, but Tim says the plane requires NO MIX at certain GC locations. I am delighted to hear this, it's what I've been looking for in a plane. Starting the build now and we all know the airplane flies excellent, but i will be experimenting with varying the flying weight by carrying balast fuel and 2 batteries for IMAC type, and dropping at least one lb (small tank and one battery) for artistic freestyle. I will be sure to post an updated review of the flight character especially as it relates to knife edge maneuvers and mix values. The only changes so far are changing to ultralight wheels and using a carbon fiber rudder hinge rod. DA 70, PRO Flow large canister. Thanks Tim for excellent customer service, and high praises to Andrew for a very unique and excellent design. Cheers.

Another Great Flying Airplane from AJ

Easy assembly. Everything went together nicely. Great flying airplane. The airplane does what you tell it to do with no bad habits. Solid and smooth on low rates and fun on high rates.

Perfect for IMAC - and everything else

I've had this plane for a few years now, have a number of hours of time on it, have taken it to several IMAC competitions and can tell you without a doubt that this is a fantastic competition plane that keeps up with bigger & much more expensive planes with ease! The DA-70 with canister is extremely quiet, which is great for my sound scores! Plus I love that when I'm feeling it, I can flip to high rates and practice my 3D without a second thought.

Great everything plane!

The plane arrived in perfect condition as the packaging was better than any aircraft I've purchased. Assembly was a breeze. The DA70 mounted up as advertised...perfectly and quickly. Canister fit perfectly as well. Only two flights on it so far, but can tell you this thing flys incredible. The maiden consisted of rolling harriers, two knife-edge spins, waterfalls and then the usual checks. All maneuvers were effortless and the plane reacted exactly how you want it to without quirks. No surprises, very solid and controlled feel coming out of maneuvers. Power is perfect even at my 4,800ft elevation field. Cant wait to get out again!!

93 inch Laser Review

My Reflex scheme Laser is my second AJ Aircraft, the ARS 300 was my first. The packaging that the Laser arrived in was flawless after the truck trip and all contents were in perfect condition. The covering job was flawless, nice and tight with good overlap joints. The ship went together perfectly with good hardware you can actually use. I powered it with a DA70, the perfect engine for the Laser. I was hooked with AJ Aircraft after the ARS build, and now with the Laser, I have an ultra smooth aircraft which does exactly what is asked of it. It draws silky smooth lines in the air. I have recommended this airplane to all my club members, and at this point we have three different ones flying, plus a couple of ARS airplanes. I would like to thank the folks at AJ Aircraft for a quality product which looks as good on the ground as it does in the air. I am totally sure the Laser will give me plenty of hours of pleasurable flying.

Outstanding Aircraft

With a DA-70, 90mm drop Y-header, Pro-Flow large cannister and Falcon 25x8 prop you cannot beat this aircraft. I resisted buying this aircraft for months because I felt it was UGLY. I then flew a friends on a bet and fell in love with it, sold my EF airframes and am totally committed to AJ. Today this aircraft is BEAUTIFUL, nothing tracks like it, responds as predictably or as forcefully. With this setup you do not need a 100cc.

Best plane I have ever flown.

This is the best plane I have ever flown, running it on the hacker Q80-8m and the Jeti master mezon 135 opto. Two 6s elite series 5000 MAH thunder power lipos. This is the perfect setup for this plane, it comes out super light and huckable. My two complaints with this plane are as follows It makes me look like a much better pilot than I actually am. All the other planes I own are virtually unneeded. If you are thinking about getting into giant scale 3d get the 93 electric. I also have the 105 running on the da120 and recommended setup, and it comes in a close second. But seriously, buy this airplane, you will not regret it.

93" Lazer

First let say I don't write reviews but this plane is just awesome. After 35 flights and getting the cg where I like it I had too. This is the first plane I have owned small than a 100cc and it flys like a 100cc or bigger plane. My set up is a DA60 with stock muffler one lipo battery and all 9157 servos with pull pull on rudder. I have owned PAU, Aeroworks and QQ planes this is by far the best flying plane I have flown. I now have a 105" Lazer because of the 93". If someone is looking for a great flying plane that flys like a trainer on low rates or 3D on high rates this is by far the best plane you can purchase. Henry

Couldn't Ask For a Better Airframe!

I now have about 12 flights on my 93" laser and it is the best flying airplane I have ever flown! Top notch build quality, everything went together extremely fast. This plane has a really large presence on the ground and in the sky. I'm running a DA70 with JTec stock muffs and prefer the Falcon 25x8w carbon prop so far. If you are on the fence GO FOR IT you will not be disappointed!!! I have tried everything from Imac to all-out 3D and it does everything exceptionally well. This plane has far surpassed my expectations in every way shape and form. And best of all they have the best costumer service/relations of any company I have ever dealt with, Thanks Tim!
