The motors are 400 brushed 6.0 Volt and batteries are 10 cell NiCad pack of around 2000mAH capacity.  Flight time is around 5-7 minutes, doesn't should long but its not the sort of plane you chuck around.   Its very easy to fly and launch
First flight was a complete success, third flight was as no so good.  Its on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyv3s8Qtqt0
A faulty receive was the culprit, partly my own fault but that's a long story.  I now fly in to 2.4GHz Spektrum latest Video below

On the 20th Sept 2009 the Lanc crashed very heavily.  I was gutted but I think it was caused by an overheating speed controller.  I thinks this link explains what i believe happened. http://www.ezonemag.com/pages/faq/a506.shtml
Prior to this I'd always used a seperate receiver battery and had no issues.  I decided to despense with this as I was very confident on 2.4Ghz.   

Here's some photo's of the build and another Lanc at my flying club.  Rotherham & District Model Flying Club

The speed controller heat shrink has partially melted so I fairly certain this was the cause of loss of signal.

The crash was very heavy and very little survied, but I have a second less damaged Lancaster form my good friend Shaun, so I shall rebuild her.  This time I going to install brush-less motors and run a seperate receiver battery.

Dec 2009 - Ordered a new fuselage from Priory and this has arrived.  Motors are going to be the 400 replacement that BRC Hobbies do as a combo deal.  Due to other commitments its going to be well into next year before she files again.
