Man.. I wish I had looked at your postings again... that's a beautiful plane.

I decided to recover my lanier over the winter and upgrade to a Saito 180... Here's a few rough pics of the finished product... took the pics with my cellphone, will upgrade those later....

I did fly the plane a few times this past season, but the Saito 150 on it was a bit worn out... it took off like an old shoe. Hopefully the 180 will help that out a bit.

This plane,with engine, is coming in at about 13 1/2 pounds.. what about yours?
