THINKING BIG

Bubba Splvey showed

off his new Laser 200 in the

Lanier RC booth. Part

of the Lanier

ARF line, the 1/3-scale

Laser has a 96-inch span.

rotating retractable landing gear (P-40

style) and has wing flaps. Nick's plan as well as a

fiberglass engine cowl and a molded greenhouse canopy will

be available soon. The model uses traditional balsa and plywood

construction, with formers assembled over a flat stick-built

alignment crutch. If you want something just a little bit different

for the flying field, Nick's Vengeance should do the trick.

LANIER LASER 200

The new IMAA- and IMAC-legal 1/3-sca\e Laser 200 ARF from

Lanier RC has a 96-inch wingspan and 1,596 square inches of

wing area. Its fuselage is 79 inches long, and the model is

intended for 3.2 to 4.2 2-stroke and 2.4 to 3.0 4-stroke engines.

With an estimated flying weight of from 17 to 22 pounds, the

new Laser should be a performer and have excellent landing

characteristics. Part of Lanier's 21st Century ARF line, the kit

comes with nearly everything you need except radio equipment

and an engine. High-quality hardware is included. The model has

removable wings that are strengthened with an aluminum spar. A

factory-painted fiberglass engine cowl and wheel pants match the

covering precisely. If you're looking for a new aerobatic giant,

Lanier's new Laser 200 is a classic design that delivers.

KANGKE LASER 2000

Super Kraft planes are manufactured by Kangke Industrial and use

traditional balsa and plywood construction. The new 87-inch

Laser 2000 is completely jig-built at the factory with plug-in wing

panels and is covered with Oracover film. Intended for

experienced fliers, the Laser has 1,275 square inches of wing area

and should weigh between 16 and 18 pounds. Ideally suited for

40 to 50cc gasoline engines, the kit comes with painted fiberglass

cowl, engine mount, landing gear,

control horns, fuel tank, wheels and

all necessary hardware and instructions.

GLENN TORRANCE MODELS

I chatted with Glenn Torrance about his impressive WW I

designs. Glenn exhibited two kits at the show: his Fokker Dr.l

triplane and his latest Fokker D-VIII. Both are in 'A scale, and the

kits are absolutely gorgeous. Many laser-cut parts are included,

and Glenn offers two sets of plans with his kits—one full size and

one reduced copy—to use as a reference while you build. National

scale competitor Tom Kosewski was also in the booth with his

scratch-built Fokker D-VII to show off Glenn's new '/i-scale

printed lozenge fabric. Specializing in WW I aviation, Glenn has

raised the bar for kit quality and completeness. Basically, his

models are scaled-down versions of the real aircraft, and every

detail is reproduced. Glenn uses laser-cutting in very creative

ways—for thin leather sheets to provide a truly scale cockpit

coaming. Even the holes in the plywood sheeting are laser-cut, so

you can sew the leather padding into place! Quite impressive.

Glenn's models are designed around the Laser 200 4-stroke

engine, but other engines such as the Zenoah G-23 or Saito 180

can also be used.

The D-VIII has an 82.6-inch span and is 56.8 inches long. Its

flying weight should be 16 to 18 pounds. The kit has more than

300 parts and a photo-illustrated 100-page construction manual.
