Lazy Ace - a brief summary of my build

[@groberjager4746]

I built a Super Lazy Ace, one of Chuck Cunningham's best designs. I built it kind of heavy, reinforced the wing and strut mounts, reinforced the firewall, and strengthened the tailplane. Then, I put on a 111 CC twin with a 27-inch prop. Wow, did that plane perform? At 45 lbs, it went be vertical and did huge circular loops. It was an amazing performing plane. I would recommend this plane build to anyone!! It was the 8 foot version.

I’m happy to see someone building and not just buying a foam airplane. You have done excellent work sir. I have had a 76” lazy ace for 29 years now and it flys great. I have a super tiger 3250 glow on it and it performs really well. I knew chuck from the RC club in ft worth he was a very nice guy and was always helpful with tips and tricks on scratch building airplanes.
