Hi Josh well it was an impulse thing,I have no experience with big planes or gas motors so I thought I would buy a used one that was ready to go and practice on it first, also I will not have built it so won't be so afriad of flying it for the first time!!!! I intend to sell it on after I am done with it, a buddy has agreed to buy it for what I bought it for when i am done so long as it is still somewhat stright!!!! so it will be like flying some body else's plane I have been told that the BME fly's very well and I have seen you fly yours so I will have two great flying planes and who know's maybe if all goes well a 40% next year. This Lanier is rated at 30% is it not?? thanks for the comments Josh regards Colin.
