Hi Rob,
Its a long time since the last update. How is the Lancaster getting on? It is such a big project to undertake, but you have done really well with what you have achieved so far. The pictures look fantastic, but having seen it fly in the flesh, no amount of photos can do it justice. Look forward to a recent update.

Hello Rob, Thanks for the Kind words.

Where am i up to?? Well for sale then not for sale and so on! It sad but when money becomes tight the first thing i look at is the models BUT I just feel that with all the work i have put into the model that i just couldn't let her go. So many important people haven't see her fly. e.g. Mum and Dad (who let me build her in the back bed room )

I have a number of jobs to do on her before the next flight, i want to strengthen the back tail wheel as the Lancaster decided to eat another club model ( i'm sure you didn't hear about that )

Finish the engine covers, and change the engine linkages... she has has 15-20 flights and only now i am finding that i need to upgrade some bits.

Oh and then a lick of paint i think might be out next year

Cheers

Rob

Any updates of the painted version?
She looks good and flies nice.
Where did you get your spinners? I am trying to find all the small bits and pieces as I progress with my build.
