Coming along nicely.

I beleave the Laser 360 is around 60cc's, I'm guessing that if you keep your weight
to around 30 to 32 pounds it should fly it fine.

Anyone else have an opinion???

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

My tip skids have been given a pretty good workout, have never broken one (yet). I personally have not had any

Looking good
If you use loctite be sure to use the Blue type, it holds very well but is easy removable if need be.
With the red you need to use heat to loosen.

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

I ended up with the Zenoah GT 80 twin on mine, (35lbs dry), most of my flying is from half to two-thirds throttle, so I would think
