I bought an ARF PREDATOR a couple of years ago to get my feet wet in Q500. What a comedy of errors, I will never buy another LANIER product. The basic design is right there with the minimums allowed by the rule book, and a "blueprinted" PREDATOR flies like a dream, but the ARF version I have was loaded with problems that had to be corrected from front to back. I have since scratch built a clone and it flies respectibly with a TT 40. The errors that they are making in the LANIER SWEAT SHOP aren't due to humidity, they are gross errors that have more to do with a lack of caring and expertise. How many of us would build a plane that had the seams in the covering facing INTO the wind, and a firewall that comes unglued the 3rd time the plane is run? Knifing into the plane and correcting the incidence problems isn't a big deal, but how hard IS IT to manufacture a straight airplane?
