Big Red  Laser 200   

Big Red is a name we gave to a 1/3 Laser 200 that Tex built in 1993 from the Lanier kit. The airframe is still going strong after 7 years and is a nice flying plane. If you use good equipment, no slimers and get lucky an airframe can last a few years. (click to enlarge photos)

Siggi took ownership of Big Red in 1997 but quit the hobby in spring of 2000. I bought Big Red from him after he pancaked it on a dead stick.

At the Rainy River Fun Fly /  Fish Fry in August of 2000. I added more white to the color scheme and changed the wing letters to Laser 2000. Powered with a G62, swings a Bolly 24x10, 23 to 24 pounds take off weight with 24 ounces of fuel and 36 ounces of smoke oil.
