my father's brother in the Royal Canadian Air Force was lost on a Lancaster, never to be found. We live near the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum near Toronto, which flies one of only two Lancs still flying - (C)VRA FM213. My father was alive to see its first flight and it was very emotional. I see the plane often and always think of my uncle and the others who failed to return from doing their duty. Bless them all for the life of freedom they gave us.
My grandfather was a tail end Charlie in a Lancaster He got shot down in 1941all his crew escaped thankfully, but he never made it out and my mum was a baby and never knew her father. Thank you for keeping our glorious history alive.
I'm named after my dad's best pal, who was a tail end Charlie in a Lancaster shot down over Belgium 1943. They never found any of the crew...😢 Remember'd at Runnymede Forcces Memorial' among the names of Twenty Thousand Airmen who have no known grave.😢
What a great flying model! G for George , operated by No. 460 Squadron RAAF during World War II. It is now preserved at the Australian War Memorial (AWM), Canberra, Australia.
Wow! It looked like a very tricky takeoff and landing in a very stiff crosswind. I take my hat off to the gentleman, that flew that beautiful Lanc. The only thing missing, was the growl of the Merlin engines. 😊
It looked great and I know the pressure one is under flying something like that but more rudder usage on the ground would have made for a more realistic takeoff and roll out. Great stuff overall! 👍👍
In re Mr Hooper's passing, my sincere condolences. I am aware of how close knit aeromodeling communities can be. This magnificent model is part of his legacy. And WHAT a plane. Stunning in every aspect. My congratulations to all involved.. I bet this one takes a bit of De-rigging and checking over before you can all get your post match pint, which is thoroughly deserved. Beyond impressive. 🌟👍
An incredible engineering achievement and tribute to the flyers that flew Lancs, taking the war to the enemy nearly 80 years ago. Of the 7,377 aircraft built, 3,736 were lost , over 3,200 in action. A great tribute to the design and the women and men that built them in Britain and Canada. I was a Lord's a number of years ago and had the honour of seeing 2 Lancasters fly over as a tribute to Bomber Command and the 55,000.that lost their lives. Amazing that 2 Lancs are still airworthy, and many more in taxiing State of preservation.
I'm amazed that 'G' for George made over 90 missions. My father's cousin Roy was a bomb aimer and never made it back from his first mission. His Lancaster was shot down south-west of Stuttgart killing the entire crew. They now lie alongside each other in a war cemetery in southern Germany. Roy left a widow and two children under four years of age.
Being a larger scale model it flies well. I have been fortunate enough to see a genuine Lancaster flying over here in the UK a few times. It comes over Santa Pod drag strip on occasions and gives us all a wee display. Have also been lucky enough to see the 'Sally B' B17 flying a few times back in the '90s.
That sent shivers through me! I’ve watched VeRA fly and visited her and all the rest many times. She would fly past my parents house as a regular circuit towards Toronto and back and I would always stop whatever I was doing and rush to watch and listen. What an amazing aircraft you’ve created. I’ve watched this video three times today! Consider me subscribed.

I landed my small plane at Black pool airport Here in the UK last year, and ATC told me to Taxi and park my plane next to a Lancaster bomber. I thought he was joking at first. Later, I got to interview the captain of the Lancaster too. It's on my channel . Thanks for sharing. You have an amazing model.
Awesome model that isn't seen as much as others! Poor tailgunner looks so vulnerable with just the Perspex between him and the wild blue, all the way back there, away from his mates. I shudder to imagine what it was like for those kids in WWII.
agreed john, just perspex between him and 20mm cannon shells fired at him from a night fighter, but then the rest of the plane was just thin ally sheet that didnt stop anything, deffo brave boys - RIP
Seeing as many WW2 planes are rare or non existent, I would have thought these models were the perfect answer for TV dramas or films, they look reakistic enough
Looked a bit of a handful on the take off run... But once in the air looked fantastic... Great Piloting skills required and nerves of steel for such an investment... Well done you.
That is a nice machine, man, good job. Those 4 Zenoah's sounded awesome, running well. I liked the low level passes, looks very realistic. Yes, now take a big breath 😃😃.
BEAUTIFUL ALL ROUND ,the real ones including the Canadian one and Spits and Hurricanes flew very low directly over my house and back after visiting the Eastbourne air show a few years back, the whole place shook I think it loosened some old tiles! but it was worth it...wonderful sound 2 Lancs together will never happen again.
I think it was this one that flew at Sywell aerodrome in their air show back in 2014. The city of Lincoln and the Canadian flight were meant to be there, but due to ridiculously high winds they couldn't fly. This one done several fly pasts to entertain the crowd, many thanks
The reason most modelers only use two bladed props on their scale models is because most models only have a single cylinder two stroke engine in it and these engines simply do not produce any where Near enough power to turn a scale 3 or 4 bladed prop fast enough to get the model off the ground. That is why they are turning 2 blade props to suit the power output of the single cylinder engine, Don’t forget the real aircraft had V12 or 18 cylinder radial aero engines in them and the power to weight ratio is a lot different on a model aero engine - the bigger 250cc & 450cc (5 and 7 cylinders) radial engines can turn bigger 3 or 4 bladed props on them but they still might not be full scale props, and these big 3 or 4 blade props cost into the hundreds of pounds and if the model noses over the props are destroyed, imagine doing that 2 or 3 times over a weekend ! most people simply cannot afford such luxuries and resort to cheaper smaller models with cheaper smaller engines and props, Hope this info helps !

What a beautiful model. Very realistic in the air and great attention to detail on the build. Probably the best Lancaster model I’ve ever seen.
Glad you enjoyed it
To be honest I agree but it would have been the icing on the cake with 4 bladed props.
Excellent model, excellent flight skills. Beautiful landing. My father was a Lancaster pilot. I shed a tear every time I see one. Thankyou.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful model, managed to post a video of the real thing , yours only lacks the sound of those 4 Merlin's.........happy flying my man
My uncle was a rear gunner on the Lancaster, He used to say he loved Germany that much he flew over it twice a day. He made it back home.
My grandfather was a tail end Charlie in a Lancaster
He got shot down in 1941all his crew escaped thankfully, but he never made it out and my mum was a baby and never knew her father.
Thank you for keeping our glorious history alive.
sad story dave - RIP grandad

What a beauty. There's just something about the Lanc that's so special.
thanks damien
Gently flown, grt speed. Engine tone sounds like the Lancs throttling up over the dams, A superb model.
Just beautiful and majestic....a fine bomber....the brave crews that took the war to their enemy would be impressed to see this amazing bird fly...
I think I would have wore a nappy before flying that wonderful looking Lancaster 😮
What a great flying model! G for George , operated by No. 460 Squadron RAAF during World War II. It is now preserved at the Australian War Memorial (AWM), Canberra, Australia.
thanks
Outstanding build and did good with all the wind blowing. A very nice machine and sounding cool too. Thanks for posting without music.
Glad you enjoyed it
Definitely makes its own sweet music,well done!
Stunning model, amazing sound and nice flying
Thanks a lot!
Beautiful model Lancaster nice video.
Many thanks!
Sad to think that one day,RC models like this will be the only Lancasters and other vintage aircraft we'll see in the skies.
Not for a long time, not while people have the passion to keep them flying.
The BBMF Lancaster was wonderful yesterday!
My uncle was a gunner in an Avro Lancaster in WW2 for the RCAF. He had some amazing and horrible stories to tell... which he didn't do often.
brave boys all of them - RIP

Great stuff overall!
👍👍
Excellent😁 If only we could replicate the sound of 4 Merlins.....
She is a beautiful model, flow gracefully, thanks
Hell of a swing on take off - well done to the pilot for catching it!
What a beauty. Congratulations to all involved in construction and flying. Well done all.
In re Mr Hooper's passing, my sincere condolences. I am aware of how close knit aeromodeling communities can be. This magnificent model is part of his legacy.

That's great, my Grandad was a Flight Engineer on one - this really made me smile and fab landing!!
A stunning model and a fabulous flight, one im hoping ti emulate myself soon, nice videography too
Many thanks james and good luck
Marvellous, it's fantastic when a group do builds together , nothing brings people together than building large models mates for life

A masterpiece of modelling

I fly but shit me
A fantastic looking RCM and beautifully flown. Needs one thing - a merlin engine noise generator and a ME 109 (1/6 scale) chasing it.
Landcaster, a huge piece of History by AVRO Canada and Britain,
Nice sound and impressively realistic.
Glad you like it!

More than a model!Super job!Sincere congrats and cheers from France.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful Lanc...I'd just like to see that green toned down...more toward the olive maybe...still a lovely bit of kit
well lewis when you build your 1/6 scale lanc and start flying it perhaps you can show us all the colors you mean !
@@tbobborap1 I didn't mean to offend anyone
My father was a Lancaster bomber pilot in WWII. He survived to tell the tale.
A very brave man no doubt.

Super nice plane. Looks like it has quite a bit of right aileron trim in it.
An absolutely magnificent Lanc. ♥️
thanks mark
Absolutely superb. 👍👍👍🇬🇧
A real credit to you .👍In the building and flying
Wow, very nice. Very nice flight. Excellent job.❤🦅

Stunning all round!
Cool factor on that one is off the chart... nicely done.

Great planes guys, I half expected to hear “ bombs gone skipper”!
It looks real and sounds amazing
Wow - what a build !
Strong Finish, Nice Job 👍

Models are used for that purpose and have been for years. When I worked on RCM&E / Rotorworld magazines I met some of the guys who've done it.
Piloting SKILLS!!!
truly magnificent. just a pity only two bladed airscrew.
Phenomenal craftsmanship and piloting! What kind of bomb load will she carry?
Looked a bit of a handful on the take off run... But once in the air looked fantastic... Great Piloting skills required and nerves of steel for such an investment... Well done you.
Great flying and especially that landing in a cross wind. Well done!
thanks - Glad you enjoyed it
That really is special. What a beautiful plane. Can I have one?
What a beauty ❤

Wow fantastic 😎👌
Thanks 🤗
Amazing job all around! Don't know if my nerves could take it on the sticks with this one..
Skilled men
Balance is off, but what a beauti
Love the engine sounds, miniature Merlins LOL
My grandad was in another lanc in the same squadron, 460th out of binbrook Lincolnshire, so cool this! 😎
brilliant, brave man
I'm proud of the guy ngl, full tour +1 31 missions tail gunner
AMAZING !!!a LIMEY 😁g

Rip Roy Chadwick . Built in Manchester oh and the other places .
Now thats an R/C Lanc.....
Awwww mate 👌!!!!!@@! Wow if only I could get one

Absolutely stunning, I would loved to own something like this, mind you, I'd probably poo my pants every time I'd land it 😂
I’m sure that was hard work getting that together. Are bomb bay door in the future?
They need to rig it to be able to drop a model bouncing bomb down the grass runway.
KUDOS👍👍
