RE: lanier 40 explorer
don, that reminded me of something when you said phoenix. My dad flew planes as long as i can remember, he always liked mustangs and chipmunks. he liked building planes and built alot of planes for others guys he flew with.I always liked sitting in the kitchen at the table watching him build them at night.anyway, one of his buddies had bought what i would call an arf and i think it was called the Dolphin. it was made of plastic or pvc and had edges or seams all the way around it that you glued together with epoxy. two halves for the fuse.I thought that was the ugliest thing i ever seen. the fuse was also curved like a dolphin i guess.dont think it flew very good either. I was only about 9 or ten but i never forget that thing.anyway i thought phoenix was the name of the company that
made it.This was probably around 1981 , Im guessing ,just wandered if you ever saw one?
