Interesting that you're not happy with your Lanier product. I'm trying to build a Lanier Citabria right now and am not happy with it. The first one I bought from the LHS had a BIG ding in the fuselage with cracked wood and everything. The box was not damaged so I believe the fuse was packed that way. My LHS gave me my money back. The second one came from Tower and was undamaged but so far is missing the blind nuts for mounting the engine and and is missing the cowl engine mounting blocks. Lanier promptly sent the missing hardware to me but the directions are so poor that I can't figue out how to mount the cowl blocks. There were more blocks in the package that Lanier sent me than my manual mentions so which ones are for mounting the cowl? I"m not Einstein or anything but I'm no dummy either and this "ARF" is bumming me out!!
