Default RE: Lanier 94" Yak help


ORIGINAL: Mitsu1

Good to hear everyone that has flown it says its such a great flyer. Its a Goldberg design, so I kinda felt it would be a good one. What I don't understand at all ... is why Great Planes would spend $3 Million (Very Reliable Info)... to buy Lanier/Goldberg out .. then just discontinue all the good planes they aquired. Just makes no sense! Why not just change the name on the Box to Goldberg or Great planes ... and continue to sell these great designs. Sure there was some crap in the deal that deserved to die ... but this plane was not one of them. This plane deserves to exist .. and have replacement parts available. What a shame .. Great Planes!
I second that. Too bad they didn't keep the Yak alive.
