Superb effort.

Puts mine in the shade for size at least! - Almost twice the size!

I didn't hear the modeller's name - I'd love to know if those wheels retract or not, what fuel it uses and what the all-up weight is.

Pity the researchers were a bit slack on how many Lancasters remain though.

Thanks John.

95 lbs. is a LOT of aircraft to hold onto - I reckon he'd better have a foot bolted to the ground if he's going to fly that!
At least the CAA's weight limits (20kg) don't apply to tethered aircraft - he'd better not let go though!
