IHad a what they called I guess a Cessna Lanier. I liked it. The only problem was I had to put a 1/2 piece high of wood under the trailing edge of the wing. It went strait up and had to hold full down elevator and barley got it back. No one said anything about it or warned me. That wasn't right to include that. If the plane takes off and goes strait up into a stall. I thought it was my ARF building and me and I did something wrong. But the piece of wood did the trick and it lasted for years. BUT I got another one as a gift a year or two later. I had the same problem...I expected it this time and handled it ok. But did the wood thing and it was fine. I did tell Lanier about it through he Hobby store in Alabama. I was born and raised in Alabama and was part of the Bama flyers back then. What fun we had...They take RC’n down there as serious as they do our football. I miss home...but the laws there are in the dark ages and Alabama has their own constitution! That is what is happening now down there the judge told the federal judge that he will not remove the ten commandments from his court room he brought in the middle of the night that weight 4 or 5 tons. But Georgia is a little better and that is where Lanier is. I have had no problems with them and my friends there buy a lot of their planes as far back as I go in 1982 when I first got in. That is all we had was Lanier planes. I know it is frustrating to get a plane and it is a lemon or that kit is no good. That happens. We have to delay our gratification and send or take it back and I know for me check me ego at the hobby door and get another one and wait...that is why I try to have three planes where I can go fly and wait on the replacement. Build in winter fly in summer!

But I think the Company has good products. It has been proven in the field. Maybe take it back I am sure they would want to hear the problem and fix it and probably give you a whole new kit or an exchange. Give them a chance before coming to a decision on them.

Just my two cents
