Does anyone know what plane this is? ANy guesses? I picked it up from a friend. He said it was a cougar. He didn't know who made it. Thanks

Steve

I would say it's a Lanier Scamp. I had one 25 years ago, .30 size, actually a pretty good flying plane.

I'll guess it's a Lainer Comet from the early 80's, about 56' wing? would have at the time used a .45 to .61 engine. Plasctic covered foam wings and all plastic fuse? A real early ARF.......Cliff

Looks like a POS to me. What you think Drone? ---------------------just joking. Bring it over to Hobbies n Stuff and ask Stan, Very good chance he'll know what it is.

The comets were high wing planes
It has a tail like a comet but it's low wing umm

That's what I thought too.

Check the wing span I think the Scamp had about 50 inch wingspan, and that's the way I remember it looking, mine had a canopy though, it glue to the teardrop looking part on the top of the fuse.

I couldn't find the scamp

Come on guys, 25 years is a long time ago.......I do remember the Jester, as I had one of those with a Merco.61...Was there not also a "Transit" ? a high winger? Cyclic!!!!!! yeah, sort of. I think you should change to TweakMiester.........[8D]

Jester was their P-51, good flier, but heavy.

The transit was a highwing trainer also

Jester looks more like it but the tail is wrong

They had a p51 sport too

Didn't Lanier used to have seams running down the center of the fuse? They came in halfs and you had to c/a them together?

The tail looks more like an EZ kit. I think Great Planes EZ if I am not mistaken. Those kits were out in the late 80's.

Couldn't find anything about the EZ kits...

Bill, Here's a pic of my old Jester..Same as P-51, but different gear... Mine came together, all I hadd to do was join the wings, put on the tail feathers and install hardware..radio..Top was one piece and bottom one piece of different color, already joined. Maybe e-mail Lainer and ask if anybody ther know...It is definatley a Lainer plane of the 70's - 80's.....Cliff

It looks like my lanier scamp I found new in the box ARF that I am building now

Scamp was a good flying plane, you'll like it.

It calls for a 29 to 35,I have a 40 laying around I,m putting on it.It should be pretty quick.

 Very good chance he'll know what it is.

In '76 I had a OS.30 on mine and it was powered nicely. I hope it's a LA.40, one of the powerful .40 of today have the power of a .60 of those days you might over stress it with one of them.

Its an OS FP 40 bushing.I had it on a SKyraider pylon racer and it was pretty quick.This scamp is a lot lighter so I would say it will scoot?
