Well Done Rob, can’t wait to see its maiden, don’t worry DJ will put it through its paces. ‘are you nervous yet’.

[Robert_Greenwood]

I am very worried, but i will do what i did when Dave took the Vulcan off.....look away and say a little say a prayer

Not Long now

Hi Robert, Have you built it to the "dams raid " configuration or is the cut out underneath for a removeable hatch?

[Robert_Greenwood]

Hello stewart,

Yes i have built the lanc to the Dam busters Raid, I have also added a drop mechanism (so we can drop a ball)

Video Time, Just got in from test taxi run. Only had a slight issue now on to Dave for the test flight,

The model lifted its tail a couple of times, looked good

You're right there willy but unfortunatly young modellers are patronised a lot, not taken seriously and quite often pushed out, you forever come up against those who have "been doing this before you were born", whats funny about some of those people is, their still not very good at it

[Robert_Greenwood]

Thanks guys, You are totally right about the patronizing...... my last model i built was a Irvine Tutor 40 ARTF, and the amount of peopl who said no way will you do it, you need more experience building etc... work you way up and so on ........

So glad i am so close,

Thanks again guys

[Denis Brown]

Well Rob I am several months behind you and on the opposite end of the age scale. IF you can do it then I have to. Might see you very shortly. All the best
Den

Needed to add, my building is far from perfect but I am in the unique position of living 60 yards away from Just Jane and can walk round her every day to check on detail and everytime I do I think well they certainly werent built to perfection in fact almost as tacky as mine but they all flew. DB

[Robert_Greenwood]

Yes Den, A number of people have told me how ruff the Lancaster's were,

I need to get mine detailed now, just waiting for the test fight then i can finish everything off

I still can't believe how much power is there with those engines, with all that weight and she will moved with ease.....

Just need the weather now

[stuart cotgrove]

Wow, stunning Robert, may I ask how old you are?

[Dave Parry]

Wow, stunning Robert, may I ask how old you are?

Just out of nappies I think Stu.

[Robert_Greenwood]

Lol Thanks Dave, I'm just 24 started when I was 22

[Robert_Greenwood]

Can someone please sort the weather out?????? maybe if i say the Lancaster isn't ready for a test flight it will brighten up.......

[Jason Griffiths]

i think summer has been and gone now

[Robert_Greenwood]

Oh Don't say that Jay, although you are probably right.... will have to get a waterproof tx i think haha

[Jason Griffiths]

Rob ... are you all set for the test flight ... are you flying it yourself ??
