RE: Need advice on mounting gas engine.
I think you could be right, thanks. Lanier is a blast from the past, as I seem to remember them to be one of the first ARF kit manufacturers. I worked for Lockheed in Georgia on the C5A project back in late '60's / '70's and seem to remember the company being in Georgia. I believe Goldberg bought them out some while ago. Anyway, the dimensions of this version are as follows:- Wingspan 82", Root Chord 17", Tip Chord 8.5", Aileron Length 25" with a mass balance at the tip and Fuselage Length from base of Fin to Front of Cowl 58.5". If you can check it out for me, I would be most grateful, as would any other details or info that you might have.
