[@richardstokes6827]

Magnificent lads .well done I've a96" mosquito not finished yet you have inspired me to finish it. 😅

[@robertnolan8240]

A bit bigger and you could man it! I wish.. Thats incredible lads!🎉

[@robertgroves6186]

Impressive!!

[@richardaragona880]

Wouldn’t it be awesome if this piece of art could be refurbished and made to fly again? That would certainly be epic.

[@IanLanc]

Think it got retired from flying because it had been flown that many times, risk of breaking up so it got retired, she's now on static display at RAF Metheringham Visitor Centre.

[@possel4747]

Wow. I fly a 2 seat aircraft which also has a 25 ft wingspan - but only one engine!

[@petersteadman952]

A terrific model, well done to those or who built it! The camera man needs to buck up though - only joking - sort of

[@Deviation4360]

What type engines where the outboard ones? They seem to be 2 stroke single cylinder like the inboard ones, but I don't understand the partially obstructed chin inlets and the lack of the side protruding carburetters visible on the inboard engines. I thought the outboard engines where dummy's with free spinning props or something, until it began its run-up. My best guess is that they are smaller powered engines that fit entirelly within the scale cowling and require much less cooling air from the chin inlets.

mdmc.bmfa.org/gallery/members-models/1-4-scale-model-lancaster-1995 have a look here mate

[@Deviation4360]

@@jonathanmuse1985 TY answered my question perfectly.

[@skysurferuk]

Pretty sure they're running 35MHz. A great macvhine. Simpler times, when you didn't ned the state's permission to do this.

[@LeeFrancis-f6y]

Needs 3 bladed props, just like the real thing.

[@jonathanmuse1985]

@LeeFrancis-f6y two get the power out of the engines it had to run on 2 blade props to fly. For static it had some 3 blade props what it now has on in the museum

[@petesmith9472]

The pilot is SqnLdr Umpah Lumpa

[@Eric-kn4yn]

Big enough 4 a pilot.

[@SirRobertofKnoxly]

How old is this video? Using old FM radios, so I’m thinking quite a while ago.

[@jonathanmuse1985]

If you read the description it will tell you more. Was late 90s mate

[@joetapp-ld8fv]

Looks really underpowered

[@tez4274]

Very impressive but the wings have too much dihedral

[@IanLanc]

Well at least you didn't say.....''but a Lancaster had three bladed props''......Remember how long ago this was made.

[@markbennett-ms1kv]

Noticed that as well

[@victorgrasscourt3382]

Why not build a Lancaster that a pilot can fly, like the B17 in the US?

[@jonathanmuse1985]

Never say never just time and money

[@sereptonltd]

They did make a Lancaster that a pilot could fly...

[@dabrab]

They are currently restoring the original Just Jane NX611 to an airworthy standard at East Kirkby - progress can be seen on Neville Wheeldon's KZbin channel.

[@IanLanc]

@@sereptonltd I think he means ''Bally's Bomber'' 😉 This is a 1/3rd miniature B17 lookalike, it's not RC but a real flying aircraft, awesome. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epikkGeobKiiqbM
