The Lanier Slasher and Ripper are top quality kits with excellent components. The key word is "kits". You have to build them. Larry Killingsworth flew one to third place in Open B at the Georgia Holiday Classic this past weekend. He would have been in the top five in SSC but had to leave early for a family engagement.

The plane may or may not suit your style. It is new to the market and time will tell how well it does on the competition circuit. If you are looking for a quick to assemble plane that builds absolutely true then the Ripper or Slasher might be right for you. Similar planes that are contest proven include:

Hope this helps!
