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

Hello all,

I too have a 1/4 scale lanier extra 300s kit that i purchased 4-5 years ago and just decided to start building a week ago.
I did a search for some tips and this site came up so I have read through your posts and have learned alot. It is my plan to follow the instructions as close as possible since this is my first build. I have a LT-40 arf with a LA40 engine that I fly now. I have the wings on the extra skinned but a guy that runs the local hobby store(30 miles away!) suggested I use 3m Super 77 to glue them on. I don't know if anybody else has gone this route but it seems to be holding...for now.

I was also wondering about taking the plasic parts and using them for a mold of sorts. If I spray the plastic with say non-stick cooking spray(such as PAM) and then fill them with expanding spray foam (like the stuff used to seal holes around your house) and remove it from the plastic after it dries if this will work. The foam is light weight (not as dense a the foam core wings) and advertises that it is paintable.
