GIANT 1/6 SCALE RC AVRO LANCASTER 17ft SPAN - MWM WARBIRDS MODEL AIRCRAFT SHOW BARTONS POINT - 2012

[@stevebirks2186]

Amazing - The biggest Lancaster bomber I ever built was on a family holiday to Morcambe - It was a scale of 1/48 I think? (old age) - My Dad took me to the local toy shop and bought me this Lancaster Bomber - The biggest Airfix kit I'd ever owned - And on the way back to our digs - He said "One day lad, You'll be able to tell everyone that you bought, A Lancaster Bomber from Lancasters toy shop, in Lancaster - And here I am telling it again after all those years !

[@danielcraig9232]

So proud of your father for indulging you in a tremendous bit of engineering and flightman ship

[@danielcraig9232]

Unbleivable that fifty years later a wonderful bit of engineering is still flying through Lancaster’s air space

[@21mozzie]

Cool story :)

[@adampoultney8737]

Wouldn’t be airfix, they only ever done 72 scale lancs. probably Tamiya

[@destutz]

When you think you have seen the nicest scale airplanes you could, KZbin suggests this video. What a cool thing is this! Congratulations!

[@eluisruano1052]

Majestic aerial gun! I built a REVELL scale from it 40 years ago. Thank you for me coming back to the heroic past with this video.

[@tbobborap1]

thanks eluis

[@NHfiddle]

What an absolute joy to watch. Great job, I've never seen a "Lanc" fly, either model or real, until now. Stunning, thanks for posting.

[@mischef18]

Something special about the Lanc whether it be a model or the real deal. Great video ro

[@jpatt1000]

Love the Lancaster. Funny thing is this model depicts "Just Jane" which after years of doing taxi runs is going to be restored to airworthy condition! (Bringing the number of flyable examples to three!) Awesome model!

[@stevecraignet]

What a magnificent work of aeronautical art! You like to live dangerously with those low low passes!

[@formerblueberet5621]

Very nice job lots of work, There is 1 Lancaster In Hamilton Ontario " Canadian Warbird Heritage" foundation has it kept still flying with huge amount of volunteers, that give their time for the foundation.

[@tbobborap1]

funny you mention the canadian lanc as it is over here today in the uk displaying with the battle of britain memorial lanc and spit and hurricane ! awesome sight ,

[@JFlor89]

Love seeing the Lancaster. I got to see one of the last few real flying Lancasters at the local Hamilton Ontario airshow.

[@Ni9kye]

Nice Mike glad to see that flying, hope to see you at the club soon

[@Amusiclover1954]

That is absolutely awesome and a great salute to an incredible war bird and her crews. Excellent build and flight. If you have any buddies in the club who have a Spitfire it would awesome to fly and land them in formation. Again, superb job. Salute!!

[@matthewelyash6538]

Love the sound at takeoff.... really nice. Great detail on the model, A lot of care went in.

[@lindseyryder5294]

Beautiful RC & impressive size. Just can't beyond the sound though. No comparison for roar of 4 merlins. I live in Hamilton & regularly visit the CWHM to see their Lanc fly. 2 summers a go I had a flight in VR-A Mynarski Lanc - totally amazing and memorable day.

[@myairbus63]

Wow- The Lancaster flies over Britain again- a beautiful sight! Great job everyone!!!

[@claymore9006]

I´m sure that many efforts are in that plane to make it flight so good. Thanks to all of you involved in the project for let us see the result!.

[@robertarribarat4422]

Magnifique modèle plein de détails ! Bravo !!!

[@JDspeedandFab.]

GREAT JOB,AND BALLZY PILOTING,THATS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE FLOWN.KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.THANK YOU FOR THE VID.

[@MB32862]

That is awesome. Very nice model and great flying.

[@mikepocock575]

Can,t wait to see the real one fly.Great model guys.

[@chimetrooper]

Thanks Pete for answering all my questions so thoroughly. I was thinking of getting a 3-bladed prop for my Hurricane but you have changed my mind. I'm going to stick with the 2-blade! Many thanks and cheers for that mate.

[@driftways170]

A joy to watch! - Amazing construction skills, flight control and photography.

[@mikewaddington2545]

A superb model and some nice piloting. Those low passes are incredible and probably what BBMF pilots would to love to do. I notice you have the original rudders fitted rather than the later Lincoln pattern as fitted to the BBMF Lancaster. Brilliant achievement - fly safe!

[@2512rcplus]

Absolutely fantastic effort in every way - this level of build is museum quality and the excellent pilot isn't afraid to "throw it around" some !! The left wingtip was about a foot off the ground on one pass - nerves (and thumbs !) of steel to make those low fast passes with that much on the line !! GREAT WORK - BRAVO !!

[@mikedavis-sp1bx]

One of the most beautiful things I have seen on YT. Any comment on time too build etc etc would be fascinating. Well done. You must have been petrified on the first flight.

[@Landotter1]

Beautiful bird! Great flying! Love the low-passes!!! Nice landing too!!!

[@zeogiannes]

Super aircraft and stupendous flying!

[@woolyman2282]

Thx for this. Terrific were the Lancs heh . . . beautiful flyers .

[@berniepowell720]

Fantastic model! and flown superbly .well flow.

[@garyelderman1229]

Incredible. I doubt you built this out of a box. Fantastic craftsmanship.

[@crossingzero]

NICE!! they don't fly like that unless you love on every rib joint. CLEARLY a labor of love.nice craft bro and mad skills too. people think a carrier landings tough,,try it from 90 deg. at 50' !!

[@sasantarom]

Awesome video, great skill on Sharp turns and low flying. Lovely sound!!

[@chimetrooper]

Andy, you are one sick puppy! Keep up the good work.

[@123HURST]

Beautiful work, must have taken years to design and build something like that. You can be very proud of it.

[@michaelnaisbitt1639]

If only my grand uncle could see this machine As he flew Lancasters. I bet he would be overjoyed. R.I.P. Uncle

[@strikeeaglemodels1588]

Great flying there!Building a 1.48 Lancaster at the moment nearly finished mate.

[@njeschagunasad]

Beautifuk model and very well flown, thank you very much

[@njeschagunasad]

I ment "beautiful", not beautifuk, Sorry, but the "k" is just near the "l" on the keyboard.

[@xxxchrist1]

That was fantastic, great model and well flown, bravo!!

[@jonnyasprin]

Awesome,this plane is really nice to see,tks. for posting your videos.

[@tbobborap1]

One of my favourite bomber planes of the WWII. Great flying model. Would look and sound more scale with 3 blade props and 4c engines. Thanks for sharing Pete. All the best from , Mersin, Turkey. baytacoglu 11 hours ago

[@DeepBass75]

Great stuff ! Makes me feel proud to be English seeing that flying.

[@SupernalOne]

wonderful model, nice flying

[@suesman]

Sweet plane man. The sound as it flys over is awesome..

[@atlantic1952]

Fantastic achievement all round, very well made and flown!

[@techmaniac43]

I would have like to see an small town model, with some scale RC tank crossing the streets while the avro pass over them. Nice video.

[@Ethercruiser1]

A beautiful plane with good flying (but a bit too close to the ground at times for my comfort) & nice landing.

[@GaryLaaks1]

Beautiful. All time classic. Just something abt war birds.....

[@tbobborap1]

hi DoubleMerkaba, mike only takes the props of for easy storage and to save any damage - pete,

[@tallandhandsome29]

Beautiful model and a treat to watch.

[@maxsmodels]

Magnificant. From your yank cousins across the pond I applaud you.

[@No1Stinger]

Why was the music from 633 Squadron playing? That was a fictitious Mosquito squadron? Fantastic model though.

[@tbobborap1]

hi ieddtech i havent asked mike who owns the lanc why he uses two blades but im guessing its because they are more effecient and cheaper and it saves him buying another four aluminium spinners & back plates which are not cheap,also if he lands wheels up he stands less chance of breaking the third blade off (expensive) and when its flying you cant see them anyway ! regards pete,

[@tiredlawdog]

That was a jolly good show mate.

[@jameswebb4593]

Wonderful model , brilliantly flow . Test Pilot Mike Henshaw could barrel roll a Lanc .

[@tbobborap1]

thanks james

[@skylinexGTR521]

Pretty sweet! The largest plane I built was a balsa! haha good work

[@badmaxnzl1]

Great work the detail is amazing and i love the fact it takes off on a wet grass field like they use to they are still a beautiful plane what is the max flight time do you know :D i have never thought of making a Lancaster model until now i see it can be done :D maybe the only way i would ever have of owning one although i would still love to hear the sound of the rr engines again

[@tbobborap1]

[@jackthebassman1]

This is a wonderful model, fantastic detail and I’d love to see it in real life, however please don’t criticise me too much but I here any reason these and other propeller driven models use two bladed propellers rather than the more accurate three bladed ones on the original full size aeroplanes?

[@tbobborap1]

hi jack, thanks, good question, the reason they are two blades instead of three is that the single cylinder engines do not produce enough power to turn a scale three bladed propellor and therefore would not get off the ground - the two bladed props are perfect for the power produced but these engines !

[@jackthebassman1]

@@tbobborap1 Thank you for a polite informative reply, that’s very much appreciated-oh and for not laughing at my ignorance 👍✌️

[@welshpete12]

Man ! He flies well . Must take a life time to fly that well !

[@pentatonic22]

Wow what a model, respect! simply beautiful.

[@AdventuresandLifestyle]

I wonder where these aircraft are now? (ano 2022) Hopefully they are still flying. Superb take offs. Its the landings that always got me in the end ! We sail ships now, yachts and WWII MTB being the latest edition to our fleet. Be warned, its not always plain sailing either. Sometimes the engines or ESC's melt and burn. Sometimes they crash or simply capsize and glugg glugg. All good fun. 👍

[@tbobborap1]

thanks for subscribing to us, the lanc still survives but hasnt flown in several yrs, needs a complete refit of gear,

[@carmelpule6954]

Brilliant workmanship. Congratulations. Good model. My advise to a young pilot is to try and fly that historic plane with the natural grace of its forefathers that is to scale. I know that dimensional analysis will give a model its own natural speed but as I sit here in the comforts of my home all I can say is that the take off and the landing was not to scale at all, but the result of a oung pilot who probably never saw the bigger version. Still it is a minor observation, but I would suggest that the pilot should try and fly one flight in ten as scale as possible. Old people like me who remember the Grand Plane would appreciate it more. Apart from that full marks in every way.

[@kenmtb]

Good observation. The aircraft is beautifully done but kind of flown like a fighter

Marvellous toy. Hey listen, I'm at war with my arse of a neighbour. Can I borrow it to bomb his henhouse?

hi colin i havent asked mike who owns the lanc why he uses two blades but im guessing its because they are more effecient and cheaper and it saves him buying another four aluminium spinners which are not cheap, and when its flying you cant see them anyway ! regards pete,

[@camlawton5681]

I had an uncle who helped design the Lancaster in its later years and then moved on to the Vulcan bomber. Seen a radio controlled version of that fabulous plane at Wellsbourne airport, Warwickshire. Any video on KZbin?

[@matthes1960]

a great model, a brilliant performance....

[@KevinPinel]

Any thought of putting three bladed airscrews on her? I was just watching a German airshow that had Aluminium Overcast after it's engine upgrade and the difference in performance and sound was astounding

[@1950boots]

Superb Model of a truly great airplane!

[@harmandros]

Big boys, Big toys. Very nice plane.

[@therzal]

Fabulous job... but with all that effort, why not 3 bladed props?

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

I know what you mean. I'm in the middle of scratch building a small scale Blackburn monoplane type D, so I can appreciate what goes into building a model of this size. :)

[@bullranderman]

Btw, as someone said , pure art . Love it!

[@MrGliderfly]

awesome plane,great vid my friend.

[@tbobborap1]

thanks jef, not long now and you guys will be flying these beauties - lol,

[@tbobborap1]

hi woodcut, nothing came off the lanc it was a bird flying across the field ! it must have shit itself when the lanc cut in front of it - lol, regards pete,

[@GlennEaton]

Not a bad video. I think the aspect ratio is out, it should be wider. He's a brave man using his hand to start it. I used a screwdriver handle, but upgraded to an electric start motor.

[@corrumpID]

Qual a altitude máxima que ele pode voar? Alcance do controle? Autonomia de voo em horas? 5:52 Obrigado.

[@chriswhitelaw3126]

Beautiful! Would have been nice to have the correct number of blades on the props, but nonetheless, this is magnificent.

[@tbobborap1]

Nice big model. However after having seen the closeup I remembered a 1985 much smaller model of Chris Golds. THAT was a real scale model. I have seen many modern scale models and many times they are not worthy to be called scale models. It seems like the owner was lazy to make small details ( many times even big details ) which make a great scale model. Man, I really missing old rc days. Giovanniram22 8 hours ago

[@ninashiva67]

Schön ist ja die gelbe Strichliste - Anzahl der abgeworfenen bomben !!!

[@JDJLalor]

@Hetzer Gaming, the Lancaster had a wingspan of 102 feet, so 17 feet's 1/6 scale. If you're referring to scaled down crew figures they'd stand about 1 foot (305mm) tall.

[@dhbassman]

I know this must sound really picky BUT, whilst I recognise the skill and dedication in building this superb model....... What a shame they fitted two bladed propellers instead of three! It spoils an otherwise fantastic achievement

[@LPtheDESTROYER]

Very good, nice example.

[@omgwtfbbqpwnedrofl]

Follow up to Juans question. Do the bomb bay doors function?

[@stridermt2k]

Beautiful aircraft!
