I would have to say that at first Lanier wasnt up to par on what I would say a lazy mans model , meaning you do have to have experience with building giant scale previously, and it leaves room for modification to be made lighter, and again I thank Mark Poole for the great review he did on the Giles G-202, but now I think that Lanier quality has improved and I am extremely happy with their service and kits, I have built the 35% Giles G-202 and 33% Extra 300s and both went together great, I even had a couple of missing pieces of wood and both times I called Lanier they were very helpful and spontanious in sending the missing pieces well packaged and First class shipping ( within 2 days ), dont get me wrong they are not as classy as Great planes or Top flight with through instructions but look at what you get for the amount of money, their are not many 35% planes you can purchase for under $300 bucks!!! even Carden doesnt include hardware with their kits unless purchased ( I love Carden planes by the way :-), tell me how much hardware a sport modeler actually uses that comes with a kit anyway other than maybe the screws and control horns or a motor mount?, I am knot knocking your comments I am just standing up for Lanier because I think they are great and not to mention I am currently building the Giles :-) and just got in my zdz80rv with pitts muffler, thanks!
