GIANT SCALE RC AVRO LANCASTER 17ft SPAN - "MWM WARBIRDS" MODEL AIRCRAFT SHOW AT BARTONS POINT - 2012

THE REASON THE LANC HAS TWO BLADE PROPS ON HER INSTEAD OF SCALE FOUR BLADES IS THAT THE SINGLE CYLINDER 38cc PETROL ENGINES DO NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH POWER TO TURN SCALE FOUR BLADE PROPS !
TO TURN SCALE PROPS YOU WOULD NEED A MULTI CYLINDER ENGINE OF FAR GREATER POWER TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE PROPS AND THE ENGINE NACELLES ARE NOT BIG ENOUGH TO FIT A LARGER ENGINE IN - THUS SHE FLIES ON VERY EFFICIENT TWO BLADE PROPS THAT ARE ALSO FAR MORE CHEAPER THAN SCALE PROPS !
HOPE THIS HELPS CLEAR UP THAT PROBLEM !
OF COURSE YOU COULD ALWAYS FIT A GEARED BELT DRIVE COMBINATION THAT MIGHT TURN BIGGER PROPS BUT ITS MORE WEIGHT ADDED, MORE MONEY SPENT, MORE TO GO WRONG INSTEAD OF BEING SIMPLE AND THERE IS STILL NO ROOM TO FIT IT INTO THE TIGHT ENGINE NACELLES !
