Lanier !!!! Three unbuildable kits in a row.
Kit#1 I purchased a Shrike 15 kit for something small and easy to transport. Wood was marginal but one of the fuse sides looked like it had moved on the table during laser cutting. Rear of fuse was mismatched by at least 1 1/2". I ended up cutting a new fuse side and building it up into a nice little plane. Numerous e-mails to Lanier and their response---- NADA
At that point I realized that they don't give a hoot about customers or quality so bye bye Lanier.

Kit #2 Our club decided to fly slow combat last season so my father gave me a Slasher kit for Christmas. Wing cores were so mismatched that when you line up the spar slots at the roots of the cores the leading edge was off by at least 3/8" and trailing edge was off by 3/4" I could have sworn they were cores from two different planes. Again, Numerous e-mails to Lanier with no response. Kit is currently in the attic collecting dust.

Kit #3 So one of my flying buddies shows up, to my dismay, with a Lanier Dominator kit wanting me to build it for him. I am just about finished framing it up and all I had to do was buy aileron stock and one sheet of 3/32 balsa to finish the wing skins that they didn't bother to include. Just think, if they don't include this in all of the Dominator kits that they cut they could save how much money ?? (attempt at sarcasm) This plane will get finished and I will let my good flying buddy pay for the missing pieces in my building bill.

If a novice builder had received any of these kits they would be unbuildable, in my opinion, which is a huge shame because I like to see any novice meet with success. I have not bothered to try to contact Lanier about the missing pieces because----why bother, they have made it very apparent to me where their priorities lie. $$$$$$

Shame shame shame on you Lanier !
