  11. 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
  12. 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
  13.  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 .   Scuffy
  14. 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
  15. Its UHU hart  i got it from my local model shop is it any good? i don't want to use the wrong cement it woud'nt be a very good start   Scruffy
  16. 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.
