Lancaster (Dam Buster) Bomber , using 4 props from the 8855, if you beat to
it first I would like to buy your one.

The reason, being I love these planes, and I live 2 miles from the home of
the Dambuster - RAF Scampton. with a full rep. of the plane

SO out come the tape measure :-)

I do have the problem of wiring the motors to the props, so far I have mange
the wings of the plane and four props. BUt they look bulky and not in the
style of these lancasters?, it's taking 4 old 9V motors and it is a hard,  I
can't think of another way of doing it? Also the props have to run at a high
speed to admit a gust of wind. On the  current layout does and it blow
shredded paper all over the place.. :-))

This Lancaster has 4 props, and there may be a lot power in the engines to
move the plane on it own.... i will have another go again....

Michael

(...) I'm not sure if I understand the meaning of what you write above. But if you intend to build a plane which can be moved from the power output of the propellers alone, then I think you may be in for a disappointment. I would be very surprised (...) (24 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)
