Elevator 1-inch up / down
Rudder 1 3/4- inch right / left
Aileron 1/2-inch up / down
Double check all controls move in the proper
direction.
MOTOR SET UP
Be sure the motor is properly broken in using the
manufacture instructions. Set the throttle throw to
shut the motor off when the trim is pulled down
and idles reliably with the trim up.
After the motor is set, run one tank of gas at full
throttle, measure how much time it takes to run
the tank dry.
CONGRADULATIONS you are now ready
for test flights.
Before leaving for the field be sure your batteries
are fully charged and you have all the required
support equipment {fuel, starter, transmitter,
ect.}.
Although the LASER 2000 will fly well in wind,
wait for a nice day.
At the field have a helper hold the airplane,
following the radio manufactures instructions
perform a range check of the radio. Do this with
the motor off, start the motor and do it again.
Perform this test EVERY TIME YOU GO TO
FLY!
TRIMING BASIC FLIGHT
The LASER 2000 is NOT a trainer. A true
aerobatic aircraft, it goes only where you
point it and will not recover to level flight
without control input. If you do not have
high performance experience seek the
help of someone who does.
Line up on the center of the runway and slowly
open the throttle, using the rudder to maintain
directional control. Once the tail is up apply a
little up elevator and allow the plane to gently lift
off the runway. Keep the climb angle and turns
shallow until you reach a safe altitude. Reduce
the throttle to about 60% power. With the
airplane flying away from you adjust the radio
aileron trim tab till the wing stays level. Turn and
line up the plane with the runway. Adjust the
elevator trim till the plane maintains level flight.
Once again with the airplane flying away from
you adjust the rudder trim till the fuselage tracks
straight {it may be necessary to correct the
aileron trim after this procedure}. Continue to fly
and trim until the aircraft is tracking well, land
before the fuel runs out. Carry a little power on
final approach until over the end of the runway,
then cut power to idle, hold the plane just off the
runway till the airspeed bleeds off and the plane
settles on. If the landing is too long add power go
around and try again, don’t try to force it to the
ground.
Now its time to zero out the trims. To do this
measure the control location, center the trim tab
on the radio and adjust the servo horn for large
changes, the control clevis for small changes. For
example if after the flight the rudder is 3/16 inch
to the right, center the radio trim and adjust the
clevis till the rudder once again measures 3/16
right. By doing this whenever you fly, setting the
radio trims at center will result in a well-trimmed
plane. Increase the control travel, as you become
more familiar with the flight characteristics until
loops take about 50 feet and knife edge can be
maintained with 80% stick deflection. Final roll
rate should be 300-360 degrees per second.
If you have followed the procedures in
this Manuel you will now be rewarded
with one of the finest flying sport models
available. All primary aerobatic
maneuvers are at your fingertips and the
aircraft will perform them with ease. No
further trim work will be required until you
are ready for unlimited and advanced 3-D
flight. Before attempting any of the
ADVANCED FLIGHT TRIM procedures you
must be completely comfortable with
inverted and knife-edge flight. The
following trim sequence is very time
consuming and you may not be able to
complete it in one day. Every change
made during this procedure will affect all
others so it will be necessary to start the
procedure from the beginning after each
adjustment.
