Some of the first ARF were Lanier. I knew a flyer who loved the JESTER he had two or three of them always ready in the late 70s.
This winter's project will be a Pica Duellest kit. Found it last winter NIB. Two OS 55AX and retracts. Last winter was a Goldberg Skylark ARF .40. Looks and flys great w/OS 46AX.
