So I recently bought a laser200 and when I tried to get the policy switched in my name they said the airplane is not insurable through them? Has anybody had anything similar? And what do you guys have for insurance? Or is it because I have a one off airplane varying from the traditional laser?

I recently had some excitement while practicing snaps with my canopy, it popped open and jammed... I had my cell phone with me and was able to get a hold of neighbor to push the canopy back into the track so I could get out. If you have a tip-over canopy you won't have to worry about this one.

I just got a set of York Laser Z-2300 plans for Christmas... :D
I've been 'shopping around' for the next acro ship beyond my RV-8. I really like the low wing Giles, Staudacher, Panzl variants. Kinda spendy compared to a Laser 200, but quality has a value all it's own...and these are mostly unique...

Hi Guys, great new forum.
I'm rebuilding a crash damaged Laser 200 G-VILL, early stages, just trying to get a plan together.
Want to build as light as a can as i don't have the money for a big power engine.
Any way of posting pictures without having to host through another image site?
Thanks...

Hi Guys
I've got some repairs to do on my wing and have noticed that it has a glass layer on top of the ply... this isn't in the original plans but i'm guessing it does a pretty good job of stiffening the wing up!
I think this is also done on the one designs? Does anybody else have this on their...

My aircraft used to have a leaf spring set up which looks heavy.
I've seen several aircraft with a rod type tail gear which looks much lighter and less draggy.

I changed the tires of my Laser 300 to the 4.00x5 lamb tires and to the small 3.5 inch tailwheel to save weight.
When I flew the plane with the old tires, didn't like the aircraft attitude since it was to easy to do a 3 pointer (I am more of a wheels landing guy). Visibility was awsome, one of the...
