31.5% Lanier
Staudacher S600
This page
will chronicle the building of Bill's Staudacher. Bill was looking
for a way to get into 30% planes without breaking the bank. He did a
bunch of research on the web and decided on the Lanier kit, which Tower
was selling for about $270 as part of an inventory reduction sale.
The kit will be upgraded with Stan's Fibertech cowl and wheel pants,
several of lightening/strengthening techniques are being incorporated into
the build.

Color Scheme: |
TBD |
|
Initial Impressions: |
*The kit was in fair shape in the
box. One bag of parts was missing, and one sheet of ply was broken.
A call to Lanier rectified both problems quickly at no charge.
*ABS cowl and pants were, well, ABS. Bought some very nice glass
replacements from Stan's. |
|
Building Impressions: |
*The kit goes together pretty quickly, when Bill has time to work on
it. About half way done at this point.
*Taking lots of steps to keep it light. Wings are sheeted foam
(epoxy), out towards the tips the foam has been cored out to reduce
weight. Spars are reinforced with carbon fiber strap. All the
round holes in the pics below are cut with Forstner bits and are intended
to lighten things up. |
