Thanks to the Aura’s advanced implementation, it not only enhances the flying experience, but it never interferes with the pilot’s control. -
Page 14: Transmitter Setup
Choosing a Receiver Aura will auto-detect modern serial receiver connections. For use in the Laser 200 60E, only a serial receiver connection can be used. Below are a few examples of serial receivers that can be used with the Aura 8. This is not a complete list of compatible receivers, rather a short list to assist in your receiver selection. -
Page 15: Connecting Your Receiver To Aura
Note: SRXL2 receivers like the 4651T or the AR6610T require the use of a different cable to connect to Aura. The cable is included with the receiver when it is purchased directly from Flex Innovations. You can also purchase the cable itself at flexinnovations.com (FPZA1039). -

CG. Setting the center of gravity is one of the most important steps for success, particularly with a new airplane. The Laser 200 60E is a high-performance airplane with large control surface throws, and a high thrust-to-weight ratio. These two factors combined make it a very enjoyable aircraft to fly, but if the CG is not within... -
Page 23: Pre-Flight Checklist
PRE-FLIGHT CHECKLIST To help ensure a successful first flight, as well as many flights after, perform a few simple pre-flight checks to be sure the aircraft is ready to fly: Verify the ailerons, elevators and rudder are properly hinged and in good working order.

Page 26: Airframe Repairs
AIRFRAME REPAIRS The Laser 200 60E is molded from durable EPO foam and is repairable with most adhesives. Similar to building and repairing wood or composite airplanes, the correct glue for a given application is critical to the repair holding and not breaking again. For major repairs, such as a broken fuselage, epoxy is preferred because it allows time to correct any misalignment. -
