Plastic cowls, turtledecks and wheelpants can be griped about with ANY manufacturers kit.

Here's a tip that makes em half as good as fiberglass: Line with drywall fiberglass tape then coat with pvc glue or epoxy. This gives some heft and you can reinforce again at the mounting holes if you wish.

I grab the wing sheets from the Lanier kits and immediately true with a straight edge and knife. Why wait? Then put together using the masking tape, quick glue method. Doesn't matter if the balsa is a little warped under heavy weight when gluing skins to cores.

Fuse sides must be drilled out for lightening holes , takes the big serrated ones and a drill press.

I've framed up many Lanier kits especially the Stinger, Laser and Extra line. call for quote if you want to save some time (usually $75 plus frt. -includes building supplies, glues, etc..) send kit or drop ship.
Happy Lanier flying new year!
