RE: Lanier 94" Yak help
Yarom which size Lanier Yak did you have? The 87" Yak had a definite need to beef up the landing gear plate, but I have noticed that the 94" model has a completely different and redesigned landing gear plate from the 87". Apparently when the 94" size was released in Spring '07 they had already addressed this issue. As far as I know the 87" that Tower is still selling in limited quantaties may still have the weak landing gear plate.
There's lots of documentation and pics of the 87" landing gear plate shattering here on RCU, and a quick comparo between the two shows the 87" pics and my 94" are completely different.
