Be aware this thing needs a good 3 degrees of right thrust.....
The landing gear plate is a weak point......
Check your tail. The spar in mine was sloppy loose .....
Watch your wings.....I found that the phenolic tube in one of my wings was totally free floating.....
I guess that is about it. Other then those few thing it is a great flying plane.

I've had similar experiences with their CAP ARF. Not that I'm complaining, with Lanier it's a given; replace some wood, redo a couple things, add a couple things, you got a good, strong, (possibly slightly overweight), decent flier. The thing that's got me wondering is what will happen with the Goldberg kits? Will they become Lanier quality? If so, it's a shame.
