The V3 Lancaster is designed to be the most lightly loaded version of this classic model and therefore the best performing, it is a "Lightweight, Heavy Bomber", that's hand launchready right out of the box. A differential thrust setup for added yaw control and far more realistic flight performance is the key recommendation to get the very best out of the model, but she'll happily fly on the throttle, elevator, and aileron control alone.

The V3 Lancaster can now achieve up to 7 minutes flight time on a 1400mAh 3S, but still has the option of an electric retractable undercarriage for those that wish to have it. Weight over the earlier versions has been further saved by removing the opening bombbay door mechanism and servo, complete removal of the undercarriage, and removal of the tailwheel steering servo. This lighter weight makes hand launching a simple and troublefree affair, slow, and realistic scale flight is greatly improved for that low, slow bombing passes, and less power is required meaning greater flight times.
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 RollsRoyce Merlin engines and first saw service in 1942 and has become one of the most famous aircraft of WW2. It was at the core of RAF's Bomber commands strategic bombing offensive over Europe and it was the main aircraft for the nighttime bombing campaigns that followed. The HKing V3 has been finished in a new, authentic color scheme which depicts 619 Squadron's "Dumbo" PGD aircraft that operated from RAF Strubby, Lincolnshire, during 194345.
The fully molded EPO foam "PlugNFly" (PNF) Lancaster V3 comes prepainted with scale panel lines, the decals are factory applied, motors and ESC's are prewired and installed, the elevator and aileron servos are also preinstalled. Assembly is very straightforward, the canopy, gun turrets, and .303 machine guns need to be fitted, servo pushrods installed, and the tailplane needs gluing in place. Scale 3 blade propellers with spinners and molded cowlings finish off the Lancaster's stunning scale detail which makes this a practical, musthave model for any scale or warbird enthusiast. Battery and radio access is very easy through the bombbay doors and these are held closed while flying with some strong permanent magnets. The twopiece wing simply slides onto the wing joining spars and is held in place with two screws. At 1320mm, the Lancaster is very easy to transport in one piece, so if you wish, the wing can be glued in place too for extra security.
