haavalds, is your Lanc finished now?
It looked decidedly odd without its cockpit and turrets – and its escort would have had a hard time keeping up, but it had a good ‘sit’ in the air and looked very well-behaved.
Care to post a pic or two we could drool over?
My Stirling has got kind of ‘stuck’ about half way built as I have been struggling to get those Gouge flaps operating. Being electric and lightly built it would not be in the same speed category, but I am looking forward to sitting it next to a Lanc or a B-17 on the field. The Stirling is very much the forgotten bomber – which is why I chose it as a type. I prefer types that as few others as possible are flying.
getting there, only turrets missing now. Put on some 50000 rivets before painting.

On the end of this one you can see how slow she can fly

I have close to 100 flights on her now and I don’t think that I will ever get tired of flying her 🙂
