Wild Stick

Congratulations on your purchase of the Lanier Wild Stick 120. 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 120 through a very rigorous flight-testing schedule and have
stressed the airframe beyond all practical parameters without a single fail-
ure. Lanier will NOT warrant the Wild Stick 120against flutter due to improp-
er set-up or excessive speed maneuvers. having said that, we believe you will
find the Wild Stick 120 to be one of the most responsive, in-the-grove aircraft
on the market. The Wild Stick 120 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.
