ORIGINAL: scale only 4 me

Yeah,
Lanier used a lot of Vac plastic and those mid 90's kits were built like tanks. Are the wings/tail foam core??

There's a thread in the GS Aerobatic/3D forum,,, a 1/3 Lanier Laser 200, they were designed the same way, that guy is repalcaing the plastic turtle dek with a built up structure

good luck

i think you nailed it with the 25% lanier extra. i've never flown a lanier but they seem to have a good reputation so i'll go ahead and rebuild it.
i can't believe the tail is crooked though, that's going to add to the rebuild time.
thanks again!
