Default RE: Lanier Extra 300s 1/4 scale kit

Hello Superworm,

I certainly can do. I recomend the fiberglass hatch eventhough it is slightly hevier than stock, it is more solid, has a great finish, and offer a better quality plane in the end. I suppose F/G specialties cowl is of great quality as well, allthough I opt to include the Lanier F/G cowl with my order of this kit.

For the moment I am thinking on how to attach the front hatch as there is several ways of doing it. Obviosly I would like it to be as neat as possible. Have in mind that the fiberglass cowl does not go over the F1 former, but stay flush to F1. With this in mind the instructions call for the front hatch to overlap F1 former thus the forward edge of the front hatch will be exposed and giving a less attractive finish. This is not desired.

Hatch to the left is made out of F/G, the right one is the stock ABS. Also I have allready attached the ply former at the rear of the F/G hatch.
