Soz mate... been AWOL..... bought it on ebay...off a guy in Horncastle who'd built it. Yeah, beautiful.... there have been 2 more for sale around here since I crashed it, I did bid on them but only tentatively... Got new projects at the moment, having sold a load of 'planes off I've got an 1800mm Catalina to build now..... fabulous!... hopefully she won't turn out to be as troublesome as the Lancaster!

What about one of these GJ,

GIANT SCALE RC AVRO LANCASTER 152cc 17ft SPAN - RC MODEL AIRCRAFT SHOW BARTONS POINT - 2012

Granpaw Jonah · November 04, 2013, 09:54:05 PM

Hi Charlie... yeah, I've seen that one! TBH.... that Lanc of mine was so much setting up and p-ing about and what with living nearly 40 miles from the nearest decent flying site... Swinderby, soon to be ripped up... would leave no where to fly a new one... Anyway, the Cat has turned up. Wow! what a beauty!... there's quite a few places to fly it around here besides my spot just 5 miles away... ^-^ I shall start a new thread when I can find the piigin' camera!
