I think this is the last one... for now!

What you see is what you get- a vintage (I believe it to be 25 years old) Lanier Giant Stinger. No, it doesn't have a cowl, but you will get Ren (from the Ren and Stimpy show) to pilot the plane as it flies! The Stinger is not in perfect shape, and it needs the right side vertical stabilizer repaired (easy job).

There is no engine or radio gear included with the plane, but it does have a kwik switch and kill switch for the gas engine. This plane was flown with the U.S. Engines 41cc Gas engine I have posted above, and it flew nicely.

Mind you, she is a beast! With a 7 foot wing and a plywood fuselage- you could have a great first gasser here, or a fun plane to fly when the wind is blowing too strong for your 3D planes.

I did enjoy this plane a lot, but would like it to find a new home. I think that somewhere, there is a person just waiting to get their hands on this piece of history!
