Glen,

Those are very old Lanier designs. I too built a few (notice I did say "built") that were equally challenging. I would bet my last dollar that Lanier will be so happy when those planes are gone from their inventory. I would also bet my last dollar that somebody ordered way to many from the factory.

The good news is once together it should actually fly well as my planes did. Do not let these planes (Comet, Dart, Jester, Rebel Bipe, and one I can't remember) scare you away from other Lanier kit or ARF models. I have assembled 2 Lanier Edge 540's that were very nice models. But these old ARF planes that you bought are far from todays ARF standard.

Good luck! I feel for you.
