Following on from versions 1 and 2 of the H-King Avro Lancaster, this version 3 represents the lightest and most well-mannered version yet.
The V3 Lancaster is designed to be the most lightly loaded version of this classic model and therefore the best performing, it is a 'Lightweight, Heavy Bomber', that's hand launch-ready right out of the box. A differential thrust set-up for added yaw control and far more realistic flight performance is the key recommendation to get the very best out of the model, but she'll happily fly on throttle, elevator, and aileron control alone. The V3 Lancaster can now achieve up to 7 minutes flight time on a 1400mAh 3S, but still has the option of an electric retractable undercarriage for those that wish to have it. Weight over the earlier versions has been further saved by removing the opening bomb-bay door mechanism and servo, complete removal of the undercarriage, and removal of the tailwheel steering servo. This lighter weight makes hand launching a simple and trouble-free affair, slow, and realistic scale flight is greatly improved for those low, slow bombing passes, and less power is required meaning greater flight times.
The Lancaster was a British WWll heavy bomber that was designed and manufactured by the Avro Company in England. The Lancaster was powered by four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines and first saw service in 1942 and has become one of the most famous aircraft of WW2. It was at the core of RAF's Bomber commands strategic bombing offensive over Europe and it was the main aircraft for the night-time bombing campaigns that followed. The HobbyKing V3 has been finished in a new, authentic color scheme which depicts 619 Squadrons "Dumbo" PG-D aircraft that operated from RAF Strubby, Lincolnshire, during 1943-45.
The fully molded EPO foam "Plug N Fly" Lancaster V3 comes pre-painted with scale panel lines, the decals are factory applied, motors and ESC's are pre-wired and installed, the elevator and aileron servos are also pre-installed. Assembly is very straightforward, the canopy, gun turrets, and .303 machine guns need to be fitted, servo pushrods installed, and the tailplane needs gluing in place. Scale 3 blade propellers with spinners and molded cowlings finish off the Lancaster's stunning scale detail which makes this a practical, must-have model for any scale or warbird enthusiast. Battery and radio access is very easy through the bomb-bay doors and these are held closed while flying with some strong permanent magnets. The two-piece wing simply slides onto the wing joining spars and is held in place with two screws. However at 1320mm, the Lancaster is very easy to transport in one piece, so if you wish, the wing can be glued in place too for extra security.
Features:
• Plug N Fly, just add receiver and flight battery
• Thin plastic gear door 'skid plates' pre-installed for belly landing operations
• Fully molded EPO airframe with scale panel lines
• Detailed graphics and finish in authentic Bomber Command 619 Sqd "Dumbo" color scheme
• Lightweight out of the box set-up for slow, scale, realistic flying
• Intended for use with differential thrust set-up via modern radio transmitters for yaw control
• Option for fitting electric servoless retracts

What to tell about this? Well not much. I really did my best and wasnt expecting this to happen at the end. But crashes happens no matter what. Like always its really hard to say what happened here. Maybe it was my mistake, maybe it was tip stall, maybe it was differential thrust, maybe it was signal loss, maybe it was the position of the moon ;-) At the end the gravity was stronger. If we have learned something from this then its OK. Nevertheless it was still great flight and we did have good time filming it. Maybe at the end I will fix it and full throttle all over again. I wish you all great weekend and happy landings. At least a little better then mine here ;-) Big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
You have done some incredible work fixing planes before and I think you could do it all over again. No question. She might not be the world's greatest flyer she could even be a hangar Queen with a little paint - maybe all black stealth paint and then you won't see the glue 😁
We had a sports teacher, Mr Les Brown, who was a tail-gunner on Lancasters..Mad from PTSD but a great guy. He said Lancs would do 5 or 6 tip stalls during 1 single flight, but the slower scale gave the pilot time to respond.. Usually.. So, a scale crash! Never mind, realistic at the end! Big salute as ever from London.
@@thomasshelley4617 I was really thinking to fix it for third attempt but at this point I canr get spare parts that I need.
@@williamrobinson7435 Really interesting information my friend. Its interesting that RC planes behaves almoust like real planes.
@@PetrincicBrosRC maybe it's time for an edf version! 😍
a sudden gust of gravity!
Oh yeah.
This is the best RC channel because you don't edit nothing. It sounded so sexy and those passes were divine! Sad ending but it was an absolute pleasure to watch. I salute you both and my grandfather for the Lancaster flying.
Short but sweet my friend.
A very realistic crash, in fact. Loads of real Lancasters went down in this way. Big salute from London.
Even the real ones wanted to tip stall many times. And did like you said.
I'm so SORRY ROBERT ☹️. THANKS FOR YOUR HONESTY SIR🇬🇧🛫🛫🚁🛩️🛬🇸🇮 PETRINCIC BROS RC SLOVENIA 👍😁
Oh dont worry. It happens from time to time no matter how good you are. The only problem is if you show it or not ;-)
We all love you more because you do show it ROBERT THANKYOU 🇬🇧🇸🇮💯♥️👍
When you slowed down on that last turn I saw that coming 🙈 differential thrust when your going slow actually makes tip stalling worse sadly. An iconic warbird that looked so amazing in the air, my advice glue it back together, turn off differential thrust, mix rudder to aileron and have no flapperons. I am sure everyone would love to see you have another go 😁👍 I certainly do 👌
Yep never used diff thrust or flaperons and never will. Didn't realize it had those features. Flaperons are the last thing I'd use with a subject like this. The model appears to have CR props also, which should help. I regularly use rudder mix, and it's amazing how little it takes to do the job.
There is no rudder on this model. That is why diff thrust was being used....
@@davehayes5766 but why diff thrust? This plane is hand trown and is ok with bank and yank
“I will set it my friends to five and I will fly it until I crash it.”
Another memorable quote from my favorite brothers. I’m telling you...feature a line of T-Shirts with your famous quotes and a small logo. Will sell like hot cakes!
And at the end it was really like that ;-)
I agree with the shirt idea. I know I’d buy some.
Yeah I’ve also suggested this....we’ll have to wait and see
These guys are a blast!! :)
That looked very strange, I didn't think you looked too slow - it looked more like the ailerons were suddenly rammed right over! Shame because the rest of the flight was so nice!
WOW!!! Unbelievable! It was flying so well...! Well, pick up the pieces and try to repair it Capt. Robert, don't surrender! You are a very good pilot! I suffered many crashes too, but we have to keep going! Thank boys for your videos, we don't have same cold days here in Sydney, Australia. Thank you Capt. Blaz, very good video indeed! Regards, George
That dropped like a rock, it's amazing you kept it in the air before the stall
Didnt expected that my friend.
More power! Quickly! Oh too bad, she tip stalled. Everyone on board was lost. The plane was flying so beautifully. Thanks guys!
Great Flight!!!! Remember you always want to check tip stall reaction a few times way up high so you know what to expect. We’ve all been there!!!
thats an amazing plane mates, as long as it lasted. Even if that was a bad day at the office still the maiden flight for 90-95 percent was superb and the video capture also excellent. Thank you for your passion and the amazing reviews . Have a great weekend you deserved it.
6:35: "Eggs squeeze me..."😮 Guys you're great🤣 Sad end of a Lancaster, but You really give it everything and Your videos attract new people to our hobby👍 Good luck🍀 Pozdravujem zo Slovenska🇸🇰
Nice to see a good honest pilot as most would blame the crash on other things that's another reason why your channel to me is one of the best out there !
Very sorry for the loss. Very realistic crash and it tends to happen. At least you show it all! Thank you. Remember to always keep your wings in the air.
And it was flying so well! Was looking really good and the video superb as well.... then absolutely out of nowhere the dreaded tip stall. Think mine will stay in the hangar for a lot longer now.... Many thanks for showing this.
How sad...
Rest in peace/pieces, little Lancaster.
Thanks a lot for your honest videos without editing.
I hope, you have a happy easter weekend.
Greetings from germany.
Excellent flight overall. It was joy to see the Lancaster in the air even if it was not a joy to fly. Keep going boys onwards and upwards.
At least we have one good flight video. Didnt ended well but still.
10 out of 10 for the camouflage paint job.
It blends into the ground perfectly
Good one my friend ;-)
I haven't flown mine that slow yet, just love the way it looks. Have 3 flights, think I'm going to hang in hangar and just enjoy it that way. Gravity is always willing to help when you give it the opportunity. Great flying Pilot Robert and loved the video CPT Blaz, Jeff in LA USA
Well, it was beautiful as you flew by... that's crazy tip stall on final, big salute!
Speed is your friend with this plane .
Fantastic in the air some great footage from Blaz
Really nice filming. Great shots of the flybys!
Pilot Robert you live to fly again. You got it on camera and that what I love about your channel. No bs you tell it like it is.
... that's why I keep it in my 'hangar' ... it's known for the almost unpredictable 'stall characeritics' great video my friend 👍👍👍 ...
Awesome plane! Thanks for filming👍👍
Hi guys! Such a beautiful ship! My Grandfather was in the RAAF and was a crew member on the Avro Lancaster, 463 squadron. His plane was shot down July4-5 in a early morning raid on the V rocket sites in France. Malcolm John McLeod RIP.
I was so nervous from the start, knowing what was going to happen! Robert, you really had a feeling there would be problems and sadly you were right, but at least you got a lovely flight before the stall on preparation for landing. You are right, too, that you have to expect these things and keep going. Never give up! I know that is your spirit and I salute you for it. There will be plenty of other great flights with other planes.
Sorry to see you lost a plane. At least you got some nice footage before the landing. Thanks for sharing
Guys that lanky looks great in the sky great flight barns Wallis would be proud of you 👍thums up from the uk
As they say, I’m sorry for your loss. It was flying nicely til the end... but you guys take it well. That’s refreshing.
Sorry to see that crash it looked to be flying great,fantastic filming.
As always Thanks for sharing great to see you hide nothing. Salute from your Friend in Bainbridge Indiana USA!!!
The flybys were spectacular! It was worth it, ay! Thanks, Pilot Robert!
At least we have one good flight from it.
Salute to the brothers for having one of the most honest channels on CZcams. You deserve one million plus subscribers!
Thanks for such kind words my friend.
You guys are so cool! Always like to see what your flying. Have fun Petrincic Bro's
Oh we love good fun my friend.
Hello Captain Petrincic! That Lancaster was beautiful to watch on the skies! Very realistic model but like you said, that model demands a lot of concentration to don't fall into a wing tip stall. It was fun to watch even when she was falling to the grounds' fate. Thank you Avro Lancaster for your service and May the Force be with You. Thanks for sharing all your experiences. Happy landings. :)
It's so refreshing to see a popular RC CZcamsr crash, and just show it, and talk frankly about it, and to BE REAL. Thank you!
I want to see crashes, understand how they happened, and learn from them so I may possibly avoid some of the same fates with my birds.
So thank you.
I have the privilege since 2003 to be flying a SuperMiss 1.4 meter version from Scorpio (Italian kit), mine has a center servo under the main wing for alerions. Luckily when I got the plane I purchased an extra kit, so if this old lady ever has issues I have spare parts. Runs with a Axi brushless with a 40amp Esc, 3cell 11.v 2500mAh. Often have 15 to 18 min flight times before my 3.5volt alarm sounds. This is such a amazing plane, graceful flyer yet, able to do slow rolls with adequate pitch up, and loops. Floats in on landings like a feather. Recently converted from, a JR crystal radio to Dx6e and new 4 channel Rx. I have other planes and gliders in my RC inventory, but the Supermiss is treasure, always get comments at the field from other flyers that love the old style build and coverings. Poetry in motion.
Did look great in the air....great job on the video
Robert it was nice to see you could still smile after the accidental destruction. It reminded me of one of mine. If the Lancaster were a nail, it was driven in with a AirHammer out!!
What else to do my friend.
@@PetrincicBrosRC Save what you can, the ESC's n Servos. :(
Almost a great maiden!. Sorry for the loss of the plane Captain Robert. Apart from the photo, the second good thing from this is you have a some space in your hanger for another bird. Salute from the UK.
I really didnt expect that at the end.
When I saw the opening photo of it broken I never thought it was down to a tip stall I presumed that it broke on landing. Bad luck ☹😪 respect your honesty 👏
Best wishes from The UK 🇬🇧👍
Never. Give. Up.
Glad Captain Blaz made you walk over and view the carnage on camera. Can't end the video properly without that...
I had the v2 thumper from hobbyking a long time ago, and did the exact same thing. You tip stalled it from flying at to low of a speed and gave it to much bank angle. Looked great in the air though, you have my salute.
So sorry to see this, but you become my favourite RC reviewers within the first minutes, I love your style! Keep up the good work dude.
Well,it did look great while it was flying! Nice flight,but that landing was a little bumpy! Nice job hand tossing Capt.Blaz! This was a very nice video!
Thank you brother we all feel and know your pain all to well...I wish us all happy landings
Great video guys have to maiden mine soon not looking good but excellent flying brothers salute you from UK.
Salute my friends. Sorry to see this beauty go down like that,I actually had the same thing happen to me last weekend with my FMS Typhoon. But as you say we are always learning. If you want to choose a more stable plane your FMS Tigercat is waiting.............please please please get that one out:) Have a good guys from Australia
My friend's Typhoon bit him and spiralled in as well. I was watching, everything looked absolutely fine and then it went ... just something in the design that is not good.
@@Retset I built a foam board DC-3 and it did the same thing on take off and on landing! It's called tip stalling. :-(
It’s a beautiful and very scale looking bird, makes me wonder if the full scale shares the same temperament. Great vid as always Guys! A lost model is never fun at the time, but is another story to share with a fellow flier over a beverage, a little laughter and a lot of knowledge to be shared.
if you freeze frame at 11.12 you will see the right aileron is up which pulled the plane sharpe right!... and she was flying so well too...so sorry Robert!
Yeah, it was no stall..
Was gonna say it was going kinda fast for a stall spin there. Looking like a jerk aileron into uncontrolled spin - I fly real airplanes for a living I don't know RC well but physics prbly similar
To me it looked like the roll rate increased just before the right hand aileron control input ...
If so, maybe it did in fact tip stall prior to the aileron control input, which is clearly seen in the video as you mention.
@Robert, what really surprise me is, that you mixed in flaperons moving down!
Activating flaperons this way gives the wing "wash-in", which is the recipe for encountering a tip stall!
"Wash-out" (ailerons up) instead would have decreased the risk of tip stall. This way you can fly even slower for landing. That's what we do on larger flapped sail planes to land slow with out tip stalling.
What I don't know is if you had the flaperon mix activated for landing ...?
It was a beautiful flight ... until the end. It 's a shame that it happened. It's not the first crash or the last . Thanks for posting the video and your honest review. I look forward to many more.
Happy Easter to you both and your families.
Hello, Brothers. Long time no see. It is nice to see you again. The Lancaster is flying very well. I enjoy the big birds. The dark plane against the clouds was very cool. Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!
Hey my friend. Good to see you here again. Big salute from Slovenia.
in the famous words of pilot Robert "This is unbelievable!"
I respect your honesty. So many pilots blame the RX, the TX, signal interference, etc. Love your videos and best wishes for continued success!!!
I sure wasnt expecting this to hapšpen. Did my best to the end.
Thank you for your honesty.
Always my friend.
Two good things to come out of this video.
1 - you guys show it as it happens Good or Bad. 👍
2 - Anyone who buys this model and watch your video knows not to cut the throttle until you are a few inches from landing. 👍
Well done guys for NOT hiding the fact it has a tendency to tip stall.
thank you for sharing, so very sorry for your loss, I know you spent a long time varnishing it etc
if I ever fly mine, I will be super careful to not slow down during the turns
Sorry for the crash , that’s part of the hobby . Tip stall . Happens to me too, . Keep the videos coming !!
Thanks for another video from my favorite brothers. Sorry that the maiden didn't end well. Maybe it's just not a great model. Best to you and your families always. Big salute from Chicago!! Oh yeaaah!!
As Captain Blaz was mentioning the battery I was thinking it looked tail heavy. I think that’s why it tip stalled so easily. But hey, you were doing a great job flying Pilot Robert! It can be fixed. I crashed a 1600mm B-17 HARD into the ground last October and I just remaidened it a few days ago and it flew great. I’m going to paint it up in Assembly ship colors lol
Greetings from Canada!
You guys are awesome! I always enjoy your videos, and have a good laugh with the Seinfeld references!
Subscribed, love the channel and happy flying from uk!
Thanks for support my friend.
Great filming again, tip stall with the weight of 4 motors on the wings looked extra brutal
After what looked so fantastic in the air guys
.i had almost tears in my eyes watching ..because I have seen the real one maybe 3 or 4 times in the air. This one looked like the real thing ..thanks to blaz and his camera work ..i was so shocked to see her dive so quickly ..i was anticipating the landing and tbinking ohhh Robert be careful with this bird ..i was even at that point thinking I wonder how much damage will happen without the landing gear ..but so sad to see it's now just a memory ...but once again im loving you guys ...your channel and all that you bring to this wonderful hobby ...you 2 are the best ...10 out of 10 for you guys everything ......lee in the UK...ohhh and happy Easter guys...enjoy..
This is what makes your channel so much fun
Why to hide flights like this and pretend to be perfect pilot.
Beautiful machine. Very graceful.
Hi guys, the plane flew so lovely until it didn't ! Unfortunate dreaded tip stall
Enjoy the weekend. Mick
Beautiful flight Robert. It was going to be the best landing ever. I thought you lost signal 🤔 but I've been in the death spiral and you are pretty helpless. Too bad. It was flying so nice. 👍👍😎👊👍
Pilot Robert it's just rc flying, no fault, no foul, we will fly another day lol😎🇺🇸🇸🇮
That's the kind of plane I call a"power plane"! You always ,always have to be in power. My plane found the top of a tree today! Happy days! Right?
Was a beautiful flight
It really was.
Hi Robert! Perhaps I'm dreaming, but after rewinding a few times and carefully looking At the 11:12 mark it looks like the aileron is suddenly moving up, causing the plane to give that sudden roll. Can you open the clip in you editing software and zoom in? Again, perhaps I'm just dreaming but who knows! To me, this does not look anything like a tip stall. Your speed was ok, nose down, picking up speed and suddenly all went wrong. Ps, can you make "logs" in your transmitter? It will always tell you your RSSI on a timeline. Just compare this with your flight video and it will tell you so much more if things going wrong.. Anyway, Thanks for sharing the fun. Great video as always. Best regards, Remy van Wijk
Doesn't look like a tip stall at all. His speed was still to fast for that. I agree with you. Aileron role.
I think it was intentional. That were talking about a " crash" at the very beginning of filming.
Excellent stability and hardly any skidding with rudder alone, but when it banks, it drops like a rock. But what really gets me is that you did not even look for little dead airmen.
That plane looks great flying. Sorry to see it crash. Hope you get another.
Great filming Blaz!
He was really great Lauren.
Omg that was unbelievable how easy a tip stall can happen. I was totally not expecting that to happen. Sorry my friend!! 9 minutes 3 seconds in to the video I took a screenshot, cool photo. 👍
I really didnt expect that to happen.
Dat is echt pech zo,n mooi vliegtuig.
Oh man friends!!! So sorry to see this Robert! You did a great job but the plane clearly doesn't like to fly slowly...it didn't even look slow enough to stall, but she sure did! Blaz, you did a great job on the camera! Cheers friends and all the best from your friend in the Mojave Desert 🤠👍😎
You guys make me laugh so dam
Much!! Good flying and great videos! Keep it up friends!!! Been doing rc for......... 37 years now 😳 keep the hobby alive guys
Love that plane stand.
11:13 WTF!!! I cried my Russky friend.
Your motor's "rotor" was sheared off. DAMN!
You was right pilot Robert Dis is something.... Remember all airplanes have an expiration date we just don't know when it is... I didn't think you were going too slow I think you ran out of power my opinion.... We finally got to see a wreck unfortunately if it's going to happen and it is inevitable I definitely want to see it... Thank you Captain Blaz for the great video work and a big salute from Virginia Beach USA
Nice video sir! Thanks for sharing
That’s impressive and flown with slow turns it looks realistic too
Nothing better than a low and sexy hand toss.
It happens.
Great video.
Salute my friends, I was going to buy this but i have heard so so many negative reviews and your video proves them right, I think HK need to make a V4 that flies better, Never mind, if we aint crashing we aint flying, Take care guys
You guys are funny man! I really enjoyed the video esp the crash lol.
Looks exactly like the real thing!
Wow that looked incredible when it was flying sorry it crashed sucks I have lost three planes recently I know the feeling....great job fellas !!!!
I have yet to fly mine.
This was such an education.
Thanks so much.
I am going to put some washout in the wings with the ailerons.
And take it up high to test it first.
Also keep some speed on for landing.
I notice someone had also built in a little splat flips to increase the lift at low speeds.
Alot to think about with this bird.
Great video as always 👍
You guys are funny. Brilliant show thanks
Really enjoy your videos. 👍👍👍👍
That sux buddy, she was looking so great with the mountains background. Not sure that’s fixable. Such a shame. 👍🏻
Dang that was a beautiful flight
I am not a huge fan of this plane however I thank you for your honesty and sometimes no matter how hard we try some planes do not fly well.
I really did my best this time.
It was beautiful while it lasted... Salute!
Short but sweet ;-)
I think it´s not a Tipstall. At 11:12 min of the video you can clearly see the right aileron full deflected upwards (right turn). So i think youre not flying too slow, but your receiver failed and cause this crash.
yes look at 11:00 you see something flying off the wing
And of course, the first reaction of Robert was to give it up elevator, making it look like it was a stall... it was not a stall.. it was a mechanical failure.
