The Lanier Rebel Bipe is a heavy plane in the air. It looks ver majestic in the air. The hard plastic around the fuse is very fragile and will crack around the center of gravity. I bought it second hand so I didn't build it but it is very hard to repair. When you come in for a fast landing the landing gear tends to tear away and then hits the horizontal stabilizer, making unsightly cuts. I used foam to fill then sanded down and it flew fine.
The control throws should actually be set up higher then the plans but it willl fly the way it comes. There is only one set of ailerons..
