It appears to not be a lanier, on account of it is cowlless like a trainer. However , it may have been modified, hard to tell from the pics I got, I asked for more and clearer pics, I'll post when I receive them. I kind of hope it is hard to fly, I like the adrenaline rush. Only put one in so far and only broke a horizontal stab on a twist. The entire feild is waiting for my day, they said it will be a good one the way I fly. They tell me I'm crazy, but I get that alot everywhere I go.
