Dave Patrick is probably right about it not selling well because of looks....it is not real sleek, and the scale paint job with the stripe running diagonally across the fuselage was like dressing a fat lady in horizontal stripes

In addition, the view of the plane in the ads accentuated all of this.
But....it sure is a great flying airplane, and I love mine with a pumped Webra 120. It has survived one mid-air which took the bottom wing off. I got a wing kit from Goldberg and was soon back in business. I too wish Lanier would re-kit it.
