AMA has a foam wing curtting service, but I don't know if they have Lanier templates. Maybe they can help if you have root and tip templates or dimensions to send them. Try them. Or get some nichrome wire, make a bow and cut them yourself from bead styrofoam or blue extruded styrofoam. Mind the fumes though, I don't think it is wise to breath the gases from the hot wire cutting. Good luck.

Might Try Greg At G&L Hobbies. I Think His 1/3 Scale Laser Kit Uses The Same Wings As The Lanier Did. Hope This Helps.

I had 96" foam wings for the Laser. Unfortunately, I ruined them in the construction of a copper and steel Laser.

A modeler sent them to me years ago, so they are available. Making a hot wire for foam wings is easy, so is cutting them with a hot wire.

There's a guy in Washington state. Not sure who.

Built up wings?
