First flight 2nd Sept 2014.Lancaster O.D. 'scratch built'.There is just something about multi-motor models, plus the Lancaster has it in buckets full. She is scratch built, no plans, just a 3-view and a few guide line drawn on a roll of paper, plus some knowledge from many many years of building models. The main material is Depron foam, with some structural balsa or ply where deemed required. Some specs -- Wing span - 98" Flying weight - 9Lbs - 12oz, (includes the Lipos). Motors - Turnigy 2217-20 860kv Props - APCe 10" x 5" ESC's - 30A HK Blue Lipos - 2x 3s 4000mAh Power - Average 15.5Amps 190Watts per motor, (fresh 45C Lipo). She also has retracts and a bomb bay. The first flight was perfect, (I can lie as good as any fisherman ;-) ), actually there is a video that showed everything went Ok, until the hard initial bounce on landing allowed the retracts to fold, (no real damage).
