RE: Lanier Mariner 40 MKII ARF 62"
After many flights and a few crashes due to water coming in though seams I decided to slow her down a bit. I added some fixed slats, stall fences and cut the full length aeileron and made half a fixed flap. I test flew last week and really liked the change. The long takeoff run is gone and eliminates the hull water slapping. It flys much slower also but does have a higher descent rate with the power off. My next mod this week is to slightly extend the fixed flap area.
