SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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. It was
involved with the strategic bombing offensive over Europe and it was the main aircraft for the night-time bombing
campaigns that followed.
The versatility of the Lancaster was such that it was chosen to equip 617 Squadron with them and they were
modified to carry the Barnes Wallis bouncing bomb. These were used for "Operation Chastise" that attacked the
dams in the Ruhr valley in Germany, becoming known as the "Dambusters". Although the Lancaster was
primarily a night bomber, it excelled in many other roles, including daylight precision bombing, for which some
Lancasters were adapted to carry the 12,000lb "Tallboy" and then the 22,000lb "Grand Slam" earthquake bombs.
The HobbyKing Lancaster V3 is a faithful copy of its full-size counterpart and looks very realistic when flying and
doing low level fly-bys and bombing passes. Ample power is supplied from the 4 brushless motors driving the
scale 3 bladed propellers and a 11.1V 1300~2200mAh 25C LiPo battery (not
supplied). This V3 is a stripped down, lightweight version of the V2, it does not have main landing gear, steerable
tail wheel servo, or working bomb bay doors. An optional set of electric servoless retracts are available for those
who wish to upgrade their Lancaster.
Being PNF (Plug and Fly) it is reasonably quick to assemble and has the motors, ESC's and servos pre-installed.
