Hi, I have a Lanyu (company now called Volantex) ASW28 that I just bought in New Zealand from a local hobby shop. It's a foamie but looks nice & flies well. There are some Youtube vids of it flying in NZ from some other Kiwi guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDUVn26cazs (note the Kiwi accent!)

Cost was an attractive drawcard as I got it for approx NZD$300, not bad for a full-house glider.

However, the kit is a bit wonky in some respects and needs modifying if you are going to use a full-house control setup so below are some pics & a few things I did to mine, which at this point in time hasn't had its maiden flight.

Firstly, the T-tail fin is a bit skew-wiff, so I will have to put a little packing under it to compensate:

Secondly, I had to enlarge the hole for the metal wing joiner in the plastic fuselage to allow the polystyrene wings to mate into the fuselage:

The next issue is that even with a lipo battery within the range suggested in the guidelines, the model is nose-heavy at all positions on the battery tray! So, rather than add weight to the tail I decided to extend the battery tray aft to be able to move the battery backwards; this has worked well, with the addition of a bit of velcro:

Here's another pic of the battery tray:

Another issue was that the white sticky decal strips that are supposed to cover the carbon rods in the wings are not sticky enough and peel off at their edges. So I discarded them and used some white solartrim that I had in my hobby kit.

In addition, the ESC needed to be re-programmed to activate the braking function for gliding. I used a helpful Youtube tutorial for this. It would have been helpful to have had instructions for this in the kit, plus for the other programmable features of the ESC:

Finally, I had to discard the Y-harnesses supplied in the kit for the wing. The kit is designed I guess for a simpler 4-channel setup, whereas I want to use all 7 channels in a full-house glider arrangement since it has the air surfaces for this. I just replaced the leads with individual ones.

So in all it's a nice model but it would stump a novice I think who didn't know how to modify & set up glider.
