Do not waste your money on this junk! There are too many quality ARFs out there. It may fly fine but I would'nt know, I am still fixing all of Laniers mistakes.

1. The cowl's paint was blistered and I peeled it off with my fingers almost entirely down to the bare fiberglass, it stuck only at the seams where some filler was used.

2. There appears to be a shortage of glue everywhere on this plane! The ply plate the horiz stab bolts to was not glued at all.

3. The canopy had a molding imperfection that should have been caught in "Quality Control".

4. The elevator and rudder beveled surfaces were off and the hinge holes were not aligned. The hinge pockets were way too big, the hinge pins were floating in the holes.

5. It is over built, especially in the tail. I've removed 4 ozs from the tail alone so far.

6. Two of the anti-rotation pins in the wing were loose and could be rotated. Two of the anti-rotation doughnuts fell off in the fuselage (Probably a good thing since the wing incidence seems to be a problem with these planes).

7. The cowl seems too be too small for the fuselage. There is a 3/16" lip at the bottom of the cowl that is very unattractive. Check out the picture on the front of the instructions and you'll see it. (Download from their website)

8. The elevator trailing edge is about 2" forward of the rudder hinge line. Most Caps have it even with the hinge line and Lanier's instructions show it exactly this way on page 5. I do not know if mine has been modified for some reason or it is just another thing to fix.

I have completely decovered the fuselage and stabs while in the process of fixing everything.

I'm still finding other problems this ARF has thru RC forums like this one.

If you have to have a Lanier Cap buy the kit not the ARF, you'll do less building that way!
