The plans are vital , this is a very complex large scale plane.I would not build the plane without them. If you did order the kit from Lanier you will get a complete set .
The plans are not to 40% scale but you do need them for reference . All the measurements and critical notes are printed on the plans which is 1/2 scale or 20 %. I referred to them though out the entire build.

RE: Lanier 40% Edge build thread
thank you very much! Sounds BIG! Just curious where do you store yours? Do you think you could make bigger aielerons or does it snap good? What engine do you have in yours?

I store mine on a large table in my garage. The ailerons are huge no need to change the size, snaps are perfect. I have a DA 150 which has more power than I will ever need. I fly mostly at 1/2 throttle or less. For my style of flying a DA 100 would probably be fine.

I don't fly 3D, I would recommend a DA 150 engine for 3D .

So you could fly 3d with a 100cc engine?

What was the most difficult part of the build for you?
Covering because I don't like to do it.
What do you fly? I am a sport pilot , I like to do aerobatics rolls loops snaps etc.

would it fit in a tahoe? By the way could you take a size comparison picture of the plane? Thanks again for all your help.

I don't know if it would fit in a Tahoe. You need at least 110 inches for the fuse.The Lanier web photo is the only one I could find that shows any size reference.

Back from furlough; hopefully that will be the last of that. Now all I need is for them to close my base or some other source for elevated blood pressure.
