FLYING THE 30cc LASER 200
The
30cc Laser 200
has been designed for
precision aerobatic and unlimited 3D performance. It
is capable of any maneuver that you can imagine and
will do them with grace and style. However, the
30cc Laser 200’s
docile flight characteristics pro-
vide for a great sport airplane, by using the recom-
mended low rates, the airplane can do all of the stan-
dard aerobatic maneuvers you are used to. With a
flip of the rate switch the airplane can be trans-
formed into a true aerobatic thoroughbred , perform-
ing graceful loops, rolling maneuvers, aggressive
tumbles, knife edge spins, and many other high en-
ergy aerobatic maneuvers.
First Flights:
The first few flights should be performed on
low rates until you are comfortable with the airplane.
Takeoff is as easy as slowly applying power until the
airplane reaches take off speed, once at this speed
lightly apply up elevator to get your 30cc Laser 200
into the air.
Once airborne, fly the 30cc Laser 200 around
the pattern a few times, getting used to its low and
high speed handling characteristics. You will see
that the 30cc Laser 200 has a very soft stall that can
only be induced at low speeds.
After you have become comfortable with the
plane, switch to medium and high rates and really
explore the 30cc Laser 200’s full aerobatic potential.
You will find that the 30cc Laser 200 is very capable
performing any maneuver you request of it.
Landing the 30cc Laser 200 is very easy due to its
exceptional low speed handling characteristics.
Carry a slight amount of power until the airplane is
about 6 inches off the ground, reduce the throttle and
let the 30cc Laser 200 settle in for a perfect 3 point
landing.
It is always a good idea to check
your airplane before each flying session. Listed be-
low are a couple of key areas that should be checked
before each flying session, checking these items will
result in an airframe that lasts for many years.
•
Covering Seams and Overlaps
•
Glue Joints
•
Engine Mounting Bolts
•
Prop Mounting Bolts
•
Servo Mounting Screws
•
Servo Gears
•
Hinges
•
Control Horns
By checking each of the above listed items
before each flying session your airplane will last for
many season. These guidelines are a great way to
check any airplane in your hangar to prevent
unnecessary accidents with your airplanes

Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly
more volatile than Ni-Cd/ Ni-MH batteries used in
RC applications. Follow all manufactures instructions
while using these batteries. Mishandling of Li-Po
batteries can result in fire. Always follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions when disposing of Lithium
Polymer batteries.

2013 ACADEMY OF MODEL
AERONAUTICS SAFETY
CODE
1.A model aircraft shall be defined as a non-human
carrying device capable of sustained flight in
the atmosphere. It shall not exceed limitations
established in this code and is intended to be used
exclusively for recreational or competition activity.
2. The maximum takeoff weight of a model aircraft,
including fuel, is 55 pounds, except for those flown
under the AMA Experimental Aircraft Rules.
3. I will abide by this Safety Code and all rules
established for the flying site I use. I will not
willfully fly my model aircraft in a reckless and/or
dangerous manner.
4. I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned
events, air shows, or model demonstrations until it
has been proven airworthy.
5. I will not fly my model aircraft higher than
approximately 400 feet above ground level, when
within three (3) miles of an airport without notifying
the airport operator. I will yield the right-of-way
and avoid flying in the proximity of full-scale
aircraft, utilizing a spotter when appropriate.
6. I will not fly my model aircraft unless it is identi-
fied with my name and address, or AMA number,
inside or affixed to the outside of the model
aircraft. This does not apply to model aircraft flown
indoors.
