Lancaster Heavy Bomber
Part of my scaled WW2 series - All aircraft built to scale, with accurate weights, speeds and flight characteristics to the original.
Fitted with the same Merlin engines that powers the Spitfire, the Lancaster delivered one of the largest payloads in the war within a single elongated bomb bay. Dispite strong turreted defence, Lancasters suffered greatly from enemy interception. Henceforth, the British were forced to operate nighttime raids only.
INSTRUCTIONS - TAKEOFF - Gear up (lowers gear). VTOL down (closes bay doors). Trim down (lowers flaps). Throttle up.
INSTRUCTIONS - CRUISING - Once in air, Gear down (raises gear). Trim to neutral.
INSTRUCTIONS - BOMBING - Climb to 7,000ft over target, switch to CAM2. Look down to targeting. When target reaches top of thick red stoppers, hit bomb drops. You MUST be flying level, at top speed. VTOL to 60/100 (opens doors) ACT1, ACT2, ACT3, ACT4 each drops 4 ordinances.
DESIGN PROBLEMS - I can't fix the landing gear clipping... I'm forced to put the gear in the raised position. This means that the aircraft may completely
break apart if you're pulling hard manoeuvres with the gear up, so watch out!
