I've had six Lanier Razors. Sold 1, kept 2, other 3 are still for sale right here in RCU Classifieds. To me they look about as good as anything else I've seen. No... they're not perfect. If they were, you couldn't afford 'em
In the grand scheme of things, they are built a lot better than many kit builds I've seen. And value? Consider the elevator bellcrank that you don't get in the likes of the U-Can-Do or Katana. Central Hobbies sells a similar item for $35. The glass work is beautiful and flawless. Control surfaces are double-beveled... no need to modify for extreme throws. Covering is UltraCote... not the China-cote imitation.
Sorry for the vent. I guess I'm just tired of seeing this ARF bashed undeservedly. Guys... it ain't that bad! In fact... if it was, I certainly wouldn't be keeping two.
