Lanier F-86 ARF??
Anybody seen this ARF? What do you guys/gals think of it from what you have seen?
I have never owned a Lanier kit or ARF.
Thanks,

Lanier F-86 ARF??
I had an F-86 and I detailed it to the hill with pin striping. Spent a lot of time on making it a great looking model. Loaded an OS46 in the nose and off to the field. First flight was not so good. it trimed out with only a few clicks of rudder and was flying very nice when I lost the engine and to my suprise, it droped the nose to a 45 deg. angle and even with 3/4" of elevator I could not bring up the nose for a landing. It hit the ground at 45% and was totaled. I E-mailed the mfgr. that same day to ask if the "CG" might have been printed wrong, that was 6 weeks ago. They have not even contacted me about the plane. Not to happy about the whole thing. Ken....The "BALSA BANDIT"

What was the attitude of the plane before it took a dive, was it in a turn, did it stall ? I built a model of a House of Balsa,, A-7 Corsair II , On the first flight, it flew very well ,as long as i kept the speed up,, I set up for a landing and when i cut the throttle back to a little less than half. the plane did a nose dive right in the ground. It hung in my shop for about 2 years ,then i decided to repair it . The next flight i was prepared, this time on landing I kept plenty of speed, about 50 0r 60 mph. This little plane flys very good , but does not like slow flight at all. Well back to the F 86, what was the CG location on yours, any other info would be appreciated.
Thanks Ron C Texarkana , Tx
