I have had two Lanier 540 edges, and am waiting for the third. They are excellent flying planes, however, a few words of caution. I tried to use a single servo in the fuselage on my first one, w/a ST3250 engine, (approx. 1.98 CI), the linkage coming out of the tail, to the elevators failed, because of the weak linkage, and crashed, (very spectacular, w/no survivors), So on the next one I installed 2 servos in the tail, w/4-40 linkage. For some unknown reason, the tail servos failed, resulting in another crash, except this time I had time to reduce throttle, and The damage was confined to the fuselage only. I had a ST3000 in this plane, and it flew great, but, I needed a lot of weight in the nose, on both planes, to balance them. It's true the hardware is not the best, but I didn't have any trouble w/the axles. I have built and flown many ARFS, and I think this one of the best.
