The Apex Aerotech 82" Laser ARF is a modern interpretation of one of the most iconic aerobatic aircraft ever created. Inspired by the legendary Laser 200 flown by aerobatic champion Leo Loudenslager, this beautifully engineered model combines timeless styling with cutting-edge design, offering exceptional precision, stability and confidence-inspiring handling.

Purpose-designed as a dedicated 50–60cc aerobatic platform, the 82" Laser provides outstanding performance with either petrol or electric power. Whether you're flying precision IMAC schedules, aggressive XA routines or smooth freestyle aerobatics, the Laser delivers crisp control response, superb tracking and excellent low-speed characteristics.

For electric pilots, the airframe has been specifically optimised to work perfectly with the Apex Aerotech GA-85 Power Package, developed in partnership with Dualsky. Featuring the GA-6000 motor and Summit 160XHV ESC, the 12S setup delivers impressive power, efficiency and reliability.

Designed by renowned scheme artist Clint Sweet, the striking Retro Red, White & Blue colour scheme pays tribute to the original Laser 200 while adding a fresh modern appearance that looks incredible both on the ground and in the air.

Beyond its outstanding flying characteristics, the Laser arrives packed with factory-installed features that dramatically reduce build time. With pre-installed control hardware, labelled extensions, quick-release components and premium accessories included, assembly is fast, straightforward and enjoyable.
