Important Information

Covering coming loose is not COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. Due to tempera­ture changes the plane may develop some wrinkles in the covering that you
will need to remove with an iron. Be sure to seal the edges down first so that
you do not cause the covering to shrink and leave exposed areas of wood.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Lanier Wild Stick .40. This is a very
unique aircraft, with great 3-D capabilities. Every effort has been made to
produce a lightweight, straight, easy to assemble aircraft. Because of its
oversize control surfaces which are double beveled to allow for extreme
throws, great care must be taken in the set-up and flying of this airplane.
Quality hardware components have been provided to allow for 3D set-up
while maintaining adequate mechanical advantage to eliminate flutter. It is
you responsibility as an advanced pilot to fly the aircraft in an intelligent
manner. THROTTLE MANAGEMENT IS A MUST!!!!!!!! We at Lanier have put the
Wild Stick .40 through a very rigorous flight-testing schedule and have
stressed the airframe beyond all practical parameters without a single fail­ure. Lanier will NOT warrant the Wild Stick .40against flutter due to improp­er set-up or excessive speed maneuvers. having said that, we believe you will
find the Wild Stick .40 to be one of the most responsive, in-the-grove aircraft
on the market. The Wild Stick .40 excels at high-alpha maneuvers including
Harriers (both upright and inverted), high-alpha rolls, and high-alpha knife
edge. Torque rolls, waterfalls, knife edge loops and elevators are all within
the performance parameters of this unique aircraft. Just remember to use
common sense when flying this high performance machine.

Wing Construction

Collect the following parts:

1. left and right wing panel

2. dihedral brace

3. wing holddown bolts(2)

1. Trial fit the dihedral brace in the
slot on one wing. The wing is flat (no
dihedral) so the brace should fit
either way. Slide the other wing
panel in place and make sure the
joint in the center is closed.

2. Mix some 30 minute epoxy and
spread on all sides of the dihedral
brace, front back and edges.
