A few pics of the glider that i'm trying to put together from a old thunderbird Scruffy

Thanks for the info Bill, where did you get the motors from the cheapest i can find are over £15 each

Thanks for your postings, the lanc has been put on one side for a few days while i try and build a fuselarge for a little powered glider it started off as a thunderbird but i was disapointed with it as it was and it flew like a brick so i used the electrics and tail with a larger wing that i got from the local hobby shop to build something a little better i hope i'll put a pic on when i can . I am hoping to get it finished for the weekend so i can take it to the club and give it a try it will be my first proper flight!. Bill what motor setup have you got i also want to fit brushless but not sure what motors to fit or how to wire them together , the lanc i am building has the 2 piece wings and plastic cowls, have you any picsof your lanc? Also got myself a trainer a cessna bird-dog 45" wingspan artf needs motor and electrics i think it will be a good model to start of with . Scruffy

I Want That One! -
Thanks for the info about the review tom i had allready found it and downloaded it before i started its a good guide and is helpfull i also found another online build blog which is quite good at rcuniverse.com a chap called Scott G. I was full of good intentions at the weekend to get stuck in and get some building done but didn't manage to, anyway its monday and i've got a little more done tonight , I have been building an outer wing section up i got halfway through and realised i'd made a cock-up, 2 of the wing ribs need to be set at a slight angle for the outer engine nacelle's so they needed a bit of tinkering but everything seemed to go well and i managed to set them correctly. I went to have a look at a nearby model club to see about learning to fly they seem a friendly bunch and let me have a little go with a powered glider and gave me some advice on the type of kit that i would need very helpfull chaps . When funds allow i would like to get myself a electric high wing trainer and also a powered glider, so more overtime is in order! Scruffy

Thanks Simon and Tom yes it is an electric Lanc ,not sure which motors to go for yet i'll decide when i;m a bit further on into the build all advice gratefully received . I took Robs Advice and bought some Titebond so i'll be using that as well as the UHU , no time tonight to do any work on it i'm afraid i'll try and crack on with it tommorow and over the weekend .

Thanks Rob i just took it for granted that UHU would be ok to use on all balsa parts, thanks for the tip i will get some asap Scruffy

Managed to get a little done tonight and have finished the stringers on the fuselage ,looks like there will be a fair amount of sanding down to get it smooth enough before i start on the sheeting . Because this is the first time i've ever built anything like this i wondered if i should have picked a smaller kit to begin with, but i've always liked the lanc and have often seen the "City of Lincoln" flying around Lincolnshire also not to far from where i live there is the Lincolnshie Aviation Heritage Centre at east Kirkby where they do a taxi runs of "Just Jane" another Avro Lancaster of which i think i'll model this Build.
