Title: Two scratch built 17 foot Avro Lancaster Bombers in formation Post by: DominicM on July 31, 2021, 03:40:12 PM Truly spectacular scratch built aeromodelling. In a world of ready to fly RC aircraft these are rare and beautiful to watch in action.
These aircraft are built from Falcon Aviation kits and Tony Nijhuis plans, have a wingspan of 17 feet and are 1/6th scale. Each model weights about 87 pounds without fuel and are powered by four Zenoah 38s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDjWx2gtrRQ Title: Re: Two scratch built 17 foot Avro Lancaster Bombers in formation Post by: K K Iyer on July 31, 2021, 08:34:22 PM That Spitfire pilot kept a really watchful protective eye on both the Lancasters.
Till one did a low pass this way, and the other the other way. That was too much for Spitfire, who landed in protest...

No wonder it scared him into landing !
