Lancaster
Scratch built and based on a 3-view, plus a fair bit of
building knowledge, and a touch of insanity ;-) a 98" span

Depron foam and balsa.

This one is based on a free plan given away in the RCM&E magazine - Special Autumn 2010. The original was designed for balsa construction and an IC engine.Mine is constructed in Depron foam and powered by electric.
Mig 1.42/1.44
I wanted to build a modern 'jet', but not use a ducted fan, but a ducted propeller.Well two propellers should be better than one, so.........
She's fairly big, made from Depron foam, and has flown quite successfully, both from a bungee launch and a hand launch.

fly another is so strong.Scratch built - '03-'07. Took a while as I kept getting those head scratching moments where you put it out of sight and build something else.

Early days. Ready to go.
