Gid Adkisson, the winner. This is the first in his series of Lasers, weight in the 80 ounce range. Bob Whitely is so impressed he builds his own Lasers. Gid's Laser is modelled on the Loudenslager Laser 200 mid-wing aerobatic monoplane. The original Laser 200 is on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. It was built and flown by aerobatic champion and airshow pilot Leo Loudenslager.
