I started down this road several years ago with the general "I'll get around to it some day" attitude, but being given a busted quad and a big bag of parts at around the same time I discovered that Vincent (http://rcfbaircraft.com) had pased away was enough of an incentive to get moving. I had been admiring his Lancaster plans for some time, but there were several aspects to his designs that were not ideal for my situation and available parts.
I shrunk down his plans to where I could fit a mini power pod in the nacelles and I went about systematically simplifying and removing anything that was going to cause excess weight. It is almost a complete redesign at this point, but those plans were a great starting point.
I made a few errors in scaling and spacing and had to rebuild the fuselage a couple of times, but it is coming along nicely
Here are a couple of pictures from along the way.
I am hoping to have it flying by the end of the weekend when there is some good weather forecast.
