Does anyone have any info on this plane? The website says it is new and I can not find any threads on it here? Has anyone seen this one? Thought maybe if it is brand new maybe there are previews or it had been spotted at an event??

Yeah, just finished one with a ZDZ 80 in it, what do you want to know, it isn't like the old heavy ones, it is lite, flies great and dose everything well. The hardest part was making the baffling for the round cowling to fit the ZDZ and the pitts muffler. I got it before Lanier was sold while it was still owned by Bubba.

can you post pics? How is the hardware? I read in the manual download they used a 3w80 but in the pics they use a DA50. Also they list yellow covering but I don't see any yellow in the pics?

I'll see if I can get pix up later today, the manual is the same for both the 87in 50cc size and the 94in 75cc plane and it can be confusing but only the 87 comes with yellow. But the hardware is great and it balanced with all 4 servos in the tail using 2 for rudder and 2 for elevator. Its nice hardware and real easy to pop the e-clips out of the pins in the rear stabs and take them off for transport. Don't be too skeptical, the same plane from other manufacturers would not have the quality of hardware this has, and the fuse with the gear and all the hardware in it is only 8 pounds including canopy and cowl, the closest competitor is about 2 pounds heavier and dose not have the hardware or the gas tank.

I didn't feel like pulling it out of the trailer but here is the linkage on the wing and rear of the plane. I didn't use stock rods on the rudder, I used the H9 turnbuckles.
