I'm 110% with you, Dershark3. I've been in this hobby for over 34 years and Lanier IS ABSOLUTELY the worst manufacturer going! I have a friend who is fairly new to this hobby and he went out and bought Lanier's "Razor 3D". He had already bought it before I could warn him about the company in general. I volunteered to help him with his kit and when we open the box, we discovered that the aileron servo lead "puller" (a piece of fishing line tied to a scrap piece of balsa) was lodged in the 2nd rib bay on the left side. We had no choice but to cut into the covering and fish the line out. It was ONLY 4 1/2" long and there was NO WAY it cound have ever possibly reached the servo mounting hole! Then, due to the VERY POOR instruction booklet, my friend thought that the engine was to be mounted right side up when, in fact, after examining the instruction booklet with a magnifying glass, we discovered that the engine was to be mounted inverted! He had already cut the clearance hole out on TOP of the cowl.

He and I both sat down at the computer and wrote Lanier about all of this, ONLY to receive a reply, "sorry, I can't replace the cowl due to your mistake, but I'd be happy to sell you one!" NO MENTION in the reply about the "pull string" problem in the wing. Oh, I almost forgot......the engine mounts were factory predrilled wrong too but that was quickly remedied by redrilling them. My friend and I both sat down again and wrote "Mr. Lanier" another letter but as to date, we have yet to hear anything and it's been several days now. Quite frankly, I don't expect to get a reply either.

So, I described all this just to let other readers BEWARE of this manufacturer and to let you know I'm behind you! I learned my lesson about Lanier many years ago and I've NEVER bought one of their products and CERTAINLY NEVER WILL! I am personally going to a campaign to warn others in the hobby about this "slip-shot manufacturer" and their ways. Thanks for listening to me.......Bluemax01
