Might be old news but I can't find Laniers website. Don't tell me another 1960's company just went out of business....

Urbana, Illinois, August 24, 2007 � Great Planes Model Manufacturing announced today that it has acquired the Lanier R/C and Carl Goldberg product lines. Both companies are currently located in Oakwood, GA but will soon relocate to Great Planes' headquarters in Champaign-Urbana, IL.

Carl Goldberg Models Inc. was founded over 50 years ago by hobby pioneer and legend, Carl Goldberg. The company is a cornerstone of the R/C airplane market and has enjoyed a legacy of well-known and respected products. The Goldberg product line was purchased five years ago by Bubba Spivey. Since that time, many of Goldberg's famous R/C kits were converted to almost-ready-to-fly models, gaining new success in the R/C market.

Lanier R/C was founded in 1964 by Len Purdy and was known as one of the first companies to offer almost ready-to-fly (ARF) R/C airplanes. In 1979, Lanier was acquired by the Spivey family.
