Default RE: Lanier 81" Cap 232

This will be a build thread.. It may not start for a month or two.. I have to finish my Citabria first.

It's a much better kit than I'd expected from Lanier.

I did a 2nd inventory and found a few errors with the list..

FN1 (2) does not exist.. It's really FT1 and there is only 1.. the directions call for FT1

FS4 is missing from the inventory sheet. (4 pieces)
FS3 is listed as 4 parts but I only have 2..

I believe FS4 is incorrectly listed as FS3 on the sheet and FS3 is the one that is really missing.. (get it?)

FS2 is 1/4 inch.. not 1/8th

C6 (2 pieces) is not listed.

LG1 and firewall are not marked. just cut pieces of 1/4" birch ply.

Inventory sheet calls for a rudder post but it's stamped as Finpost.




That's it for the inventory list errors.

Wing tube.. T6 60161 Aluminum.. 215 grams. I should be able to get that down to 144g with a CF tube.. saves almost 1/4 pound

Landing gear.. 372 grams (13.2 ounces) should be good for another 1/2 pound if replaced with CF.
