Lanier RC 40-percent Staudacher and Monster Stinger

Model Airplane News, Jul 2000 by Chianelli, Chris

You would have to have been asleep for the past several years not to know Bubba Spivey and the rest of the gang at Lanier RC are seriously into giant-scale planes. Well, towering over all of the aircraft in the Lanier booth were a 40-percent Staudacher and Monster Stinger!

The Staudacher spans an impressive 120 inches while the Monster Stinger has a 106-inch span.

Both kits are of all-wood construction and feature CNC-routed and laser-cut wooden parts. Fiberglass cowl and pants are planned for the Staudacher; the Stinger's are made of ABS plastic. Formed canopies, wing tubes and landing gear are also included. Both models feature light, strong, "unitized" engine-box construction that ties the firewall, landing-gear attachment and wing-tube mount together. If your 150cc twin-cylinder, gas powerplant is looking for a home, consider these true giants from Lanier.
