I was expecting FliteTest to do the launch - or maybe they are busy with the Bixler 2!

It'd be nice to see FT do the Lancaster too... But I think this season is all about scratch builds

I'm getting the feel that FT has fallen from HK's priority a bit over the last few months.

I'm still waiting on HK to come out with the "Scottler" and then followed by the "Kapperler"

They're getting the seasons all wrong - winter is for scratchbuilds, summer is for flying!

I'm pretty sure Chad has them working to our seasons . . . Its winter here in Australia so from my point of view they have it right lol

Haha, winter's usually good for flying here in Canberra. Calm, sunny days, if on the cold side.

I do think the Zephyr would be a really good plane for FT to do, as it's innovative and spunky.

I'd love to see a review of the Lancaster... One of my uncles worked on keeping these beasts in the air during WWII. As a result he has never flown in any type of machine. He once told me that the only thing keeping them in the air half the time was a few crossed fingers and some well worded prayers. He said that they would come back with gapping holes and panels swinging in the breeze!

My grandfather was the pilot of a Lancaster in WWII, 'S for Sugar' was the name of the plane. Could be a chance your uncle worked on his plane. My grandfather was Laurie Baker and passed away 5 years ago. From what I understand the 'S for Sugar' is one of only 2 surviving Lancaster from WWII and is in a museum in the UK somewhere.

I'd like to get my hands on one too just because of the family history with the plane.

Heh - last time I was in Canberra (a couple of weeks ago) it was raining and foggy and just shy of far too cold. It felt like I was back in London again!

I would love to see a good impartial review of this as well - it's a pretty cool looking beastie.
