93" Laser 230z ARF - blue

A semi scale model of the American aerobatic aeroplane for 60-0ccm petrol engine for experienced pilots capable of the classic pattern as well as extreme 3D style.

The fuselage is of - now classic - ultra light design featuring balsa and plywood Kevlar®/carbon composite reinforced parts, detachable fibreglass cowl and large fuselage/canopy hatch allowing perfect access to the entire power system and RC gear. The engine is to be fitted to a plywood/composite reinforced box using a radial mount.

The two-piece all-balsa wing with a symmetrical airfoil uses a carbon tube joiner; the wing halves are secured with screws to the fuselage. The large ailerons are controlled by a single servo each.

The empennage is a light all-balsa work; the two-piece horizontal tailplane uses a carbon tube joiner. The elevators are controlled by servos installed in horizontal stabilizer halves. The rudder is controlled by a pair of servos with a closed-loop linkage installed in the cockpit.

The entire model is covered by the ULTRACOTE® iron-on film (ULTRACOTE® is the trade mark for the ORACOVER® film used in the USA.)

The main undercarriage features carbon composite legs, fibreglass spats and lightweight wheels; the tail wheel with a carbon bracket is coupled with the rudder.

You will need a reliable 60-70 ccm petrol engine (GP-61 is always a great choice).

You will need at least 7-channel RC set to control your Laser Z230 - the precise set-up of servos, optimized dual and exponential rates is the must for aerobatic flying - the pattern as well as extreme 3D.

You will need 8 fast and strong standard size digital servos, like Futaba S9177SV, Hitec HS-7950TH, D980TW or HSB-9381TH and one good standard size servo for the throttle control.

The ARTF kit contents: Oracover® covered fuselage, wing and tailplane, painted fibreglass cowl, carbon undercarriage, tail wheel assembly, wheels, set of accessories and instruction manual.
