Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Lanier R/C Ripper Combat Plane. We
believe we have one of the best combat designs for SSC available. It is
very fast to build, will come in at or below the minimum weight, and be
very sturdy in combat. The flight characteristic of the plane allow you
to be very aggressive because you can concentrate on your opponent
and not on keeping the plane in the air. The roll rate is very quick,
allowing you to quickly change from one knife edge to the other and be
on your opponent very quickly. So get on with construction and go get
some streamers.
Important information:
Please inspect the plane before beginning to assemble to make sure you are
happy with it. After assembly has begun you cannot return the kit. If you find
a problem before beginning to assemble the plane you must contact us,
please do not return to the dealer.Lanier R/C is proud of the care and atten-
tion that goes into the manufacture of parts for its model kits. The company
warrants that for a period of 30 days, it will replace, at the buyers request,
any parts or material shown to the company’s satisfaction to have been
defective in workmanship or material at the time of purchase.
No other warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, is made with respect to
the merchandise sold by the company. The buyer acknowledges and under-
stands that he is purchasing only a component kit from which the buyer will
himself construct a finished flying model airplane. The company is neither
the manufacturer of such a flying model airplane, nor a seller of it. The
buyer hereby assumes the risk and all liability for personal or property dam-
age or injury arising out of the buyers use of the components or the finished
flying model airplane, whenever any such damage or injury shall occur.
Any action brought forth against the company, based on the breach of the
contract of sale to the buyer, or on any alleged warranty there under, must
be brought within 1year of the date of such sale, or there after be barred.
This one year limitation is imposed by agreement of the parties as permitted by
the laws of the state of Georgia.
To stay under the weight limit of 2.5 lbs. on open A you may need to omit the
leading edge reinforcements. Depending on servos and battery pack used it
may be over 2.5 lbs. For SSC there is no problem since you must be over 2.5
and the plane will come in under that if built with light equipment.

Wing
Begin construction with the wing. Remove the wing panels from their cores
and lay aside. All work on the wing panels should be done with the wings lay-
ing in the cores so as not to warp them. Using a knife or saw blade, split the
cores down the leading edge so you have a top and bottom half.
Using a knife, remove the foam left from cutting the spar slot in the wing.
This is so you can flip the wing over in the cores after the spars are
installed.

Lay a piece of wax paper over the center of the root so the glue does not
stick the panel to the core when gluing together. Mix some 5-minute epoxy and
spread on the root of both wing panels. Place the panels in the cores and use
masking tape to hold the panels together till the epoxy sets.
Make sure the left
and right panel are
perfectly aligned
with each other
and laying flat in
the cores.
The wings are fully symmetrical so there is no left and right until you glue
on the center doublers. Lay the cores on a flat surface with the roots
butted together, if your table is not straight your wings will not be straight.
You may have to shim one side to make sure the two halves are perfectly even
with each other.

Locate the four epoxy glass spars, and the two laser cut joiners.
Trial fit the spars in the grooves. The spars are at a slight angle,swept for-
ward, so install the joiner with the angle toward the front of the wing.When
happy with the fit, glue a joiner in the end of one of the spars. We recommend
using pro-bond urethane glue which can be purchased at most any hardware
store or building supply such as Home Depot or Lowes. Another name is
Gorilla glue which is the same thing.
using the urethane glue, run a bead down the entire length of the spar slots
and use a brush to make sure it coat the sides and bottom.

Coat the other end of the joiner and insert it into the other spar. Lay the
spars in the slots and press down firmly. Remember this must be done with the
panels in the cores so as not to warp them.
The spars do not
extend all the way to
the tip. We have
found that in a cart-
wheel or hard hit on
the end of the wing
the spar can be bro-
ken loose from the
panel. By leabint it
about 1/2” short you
have a cushion at the
tip.

The pro-bond glue will expand when
drying so you must go ahead and
apply the center plywood doublers
and bi-directions tape now or tem-
porarily cover with masking tape till
the glue dries The tape can be pur-
chased at any office supply. It is a 3m
product called extreme application.
Next locate the top and bottom center section doublers. the top doubler has
the servo cut out and is made of 1/32” plywood. The bottom doubler is 1/32”
plywood.
Coat both pieces with urethane or epoxy glue.Make sure to get a good coat
over the spars so they will be firmly glued to the doublers.

Place the doubler in place centered over the seam and aligned with the
trailing edge. Flip wing over and install the bottom doubler. Pull masking
tape around the trailing edge to hold in place. Next pull the leading edge
down and tape in place until the glue dries.

Locate the 1/8” lite ply trailing edge doubler and epoxy in place flush with
the trailing edge of the wing. The angle is cut to match the angle of the trail-
ing edge. This will prevent the rubber bands from crushing the trailing edge
Next locate the 1/32” x 3/8” x 12” plywood strip. Make a mark in the center
and and ailgn on the center line of the wing. Mark a mark at both ends and
carefully sand 1/32” off the foam so the plywood will be flulsh with the
trailing edge. Epoxy to the trailing edge of the wing. This piece will stop the
wing from splitting from the trailing edge up to the wing spars when you hit
the ground hard. All the wood should be glued directly to the foam with the
tape going on top, not under the wood.
