The lanier ARF airplanes are an aquired taste....you either love them, or
you hate them. I think they were about the first ARf's around. I've had
practically all of them. I flew a Rebel for 25 years. My first rc plane was
a Lanier Cessna trainer. They were cheap....flew great, and were almost
indestructable. One time, on take-off....I flew the Cessna full throttle into
a huge steel storage tank at an oil refinery. After retrieving the plane over
a fence, and removing the broken prop and spinner....using a new prop
without a spinner....had the plane back up in 10 minutes....no damage to
the plane. [X(] (honest)

Another time....after flying a Lanier Caprice for a few years, I decommissioned
it. The plastic parts crack after awhile....like most plastic parts. I tried to
break the wing in half over my knee....and couldn't break it. [X(] (honest)

Here's my Rebel and Caprice in about '77. I sold the Rebel to a Guy last year. (honest)
