[Robert_Greenwood]

Can you belive it !! one whole night just making fuel tanks.... where dose all the time go ?? i only had 4 brews too

one job of the list YAY

[Robert_Greenwood]

Good news!!! i have just finished fiber glassing the wing. This means that ALL the Lancaster is now glassed and is ready for flatting back and priming.

The Hinges have all been test fitted, Engines tanks have been fitted and removed for painting aswell as the electrics

The job list is certainly getting smaller now!!

I am just very glad i don't have to fiberglass a 17' lance EVER EVER again !

Will get some photos soon

Looks pretty good. Amazing to see the difference in three weeks since I last saw it, did you stay up nights .. Will you test fly it

[Barrie King]

Hi Den, yes hoping to test fly it later this week if weather allows, ran up all 4 RCVs last week and they sounded really good. Have you started the T240 build yet?

Yes getting there, changing the looks a bit to match a friend of mines done in American D Day markin gs and having twin fins. Well you can do what you want at my age. Good luck with the test flight
