I was going to purchase one, the kits themselves are not too bad price wise but purchasing the motors, servos and radio controls is a small fortune and one I couldn't afford and my luck I'd crash it on the first flight...lol

That's really awesome John, my two sons have all the wood working skills in this family. Heck, I have a hard time to even cut a 2x4 to proper length!

You hit the nail on the head John....I can dig basements and build roads pretty well tho.

These guys have a 1/28 scale series of Bombers, the Lancaster B-24D Liberator has a 48.5 inch wing span so it would be about 45 inches long.
