I built a couple of Gentle Ladies when CG was making them and they weren't wonderful then, either. Acceptable, but not great. My contact with Lanier is limited, but the two or three I've seen weren't very good. I hear some grumbling about QC and customer service at Lanier, too.

The GL is such a nice flying glider that a laser kit would probably find a new home with us right away. It's a shame to have to do it, but you could use the parts for patterns and work out the fit issues.
