lanier u2 build
i got mu lanier u2 today. my gws 4ch reciever came to. this thing is as tall as i am (the wing span. 74in). i am planing on rudder/elivater. this is my first glider but i have nitro plane experience. how bad could it fly anyway, its a free flight glider. there are some pics of the parts. plenty of space for 2 servos and a micro reciever. where is a good web site to get carbon fiber to reinforce the wing and fuse? shuld i cover it with fiber glass or just packing tape? all help is welcome.
i live in Richmond Rhode Island (usa). its very close to Westerly. are there any good sloap soaring sites near me?

RE: lanier u2 build
another pic. the blueish line is the cut. i am now fitting the servos in the fuse. the reciever fits with no problem as it can sit on a quarter.

RE: lanier u2 build
I picked one of the U2s at a yard sale..I plan to "slope her". I'm curious on how many people actually convert these to R/C and what reinforcements are recommended!
