What a superb model of the Westland Lysander,Black Horse engineers have created some practical model's of difficult to build subjects that really fly well and this is no exception,love the motor combination it sounds so smooth too,for those who say it is vibrating they have never operated a radial engine ! thats they way they sound,so good to see it flown scale like too on very appropiate turf to how the real thing operated during WW2,the undercarriage looks nice and rugged ideal for such operating conditions Black Horse thought that out well too,regarding the Oracote covering all that has happened is it has slackend coming from the factory where it was not tightened up bi-laterally with even heat application,the ladies that do the covering can knock the socks of us chaps doing scores every day and have since corrected the application,to rectify dampen a cloth and pull tight across the chord and apply the iron in large strokes lightly gliding the iron over the surface,avoid heat gun with Oracover,simples. Thanks to the maestro on the camera our one and only Mr Tbobborap who can achieve such steady work on our behalf.

wow - thanks for a great comment angel, and thanks for the info on the oracover and appreciate the plug on my camera skills - subbed you back - pete

Brilliant, I had one of These a couple years ago with a 55 cc dle. Nice mods on the engine Cowling and Wheels spats. It’s nice to see so many jealous people out there commenting on your Lysander

a tip : watch movies at Flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.

So cute! Looks like a Hummingbird Moth!

Thanks Pete. Lovely model, another high-water mark for a ARTF model I'd say, they just seem to get better and better! Wonderful sound from that big Saito, too!! Cheers, Dougal

cheers G, clive is our club membership secretary & display rep of 20 yrs standing and this flying site is hired from the ministry of defence and only used around 12 times a year, not only does he have to deal with their bureaucracy (bloody hard work sometimes) but he also cuts and prepares the strip for us all, great guy and has been waiting ages for me to film his baby for him, hope to catch her again next time,

yes your right G without these guys the club would fold, also another member called john our power rep cuts, rolls, and prepares our main field and often refuses help, our chairman and treasurer have also been serving 20+ yrs (amazing) and our secretary is not at all well but carries on his club duties, we have 115 ish members but you'll only ever see the same 10 or 15 face's down the patch every wkd (strange that) unless we have a bbq event, enough yapping got to go and service Sheila ;-o

comment from Clive Schofield the owner / pilot - Thanks for all the "constructive" comments. Re prop, it is a 3 cylinder radial so there are 3 compression points I can select when starting- depends where the prop is and if I want to "flick" from there or rotate to the ten past seven position. The u/c is level, believe me, but the flying site is not. The covering is poor re wrinkles and needs to be sorted. agreed. This will be done when the rest of the scale detailing is done- just wanted to get into the air asap. Also agree re the spinner which is the factory supplied piece of crap. I am thinking of going to a 3 bladed prop so it will be replaced then.

Nice to see a scale model flown scale speed very nice

cheers fred, lots of character to it,

That has got to take a lot of nerve and experience. I'm still learning how to handle the electric trainers and it seems like every time I take it out something new happens. I like your skills. Maybe I'll be able to work with the gas engines someday. Great flying Capitan...

first i have to say that this is one of my favourite planes! for some reason they just look weirdly cool! amazing scale speed and it looks amazingly scale too! gotta say there are a couple of imperfections but who im a to say that? could i have built that? no! well done filming as always pete love the content coming through! THUMBS UP! 🛫✈️

cheers fred, yes the covering that comes factory fitted leaves a lot to be desired, wrinkles easily in the sun,

I have been tempted to buy this ARF myself, more than once, now I have another bloody reason to want one....Thanks Very Much from the bottom of my empty wallet. Reading the comments is hilarious, but ALL the ney-sayers can be silenced by referring them to 3:00 - 7:28. During this section of video, I see no vibration issues, no wobbly pilot, no uneven ground making the thing look lop-sided, even though axles, wing leading edge and stabilizer are all in alignment. It's square, but that's what you get filming and flying on the side of a hill....the pilot more than likely has one leg longer than the other to compensate for the forced tilt...... Funny how when she is sitting ready to take-off, ALL the wrinkles in the covering are invisible too........SHE LOOKS GREAT IN THE AIR, that is ALL she needs to do and this bird does that in spades.....and the rest can be cleaned up overtime as the owner/pilot said he was going to do. Sounds AWESOME too, but does need a dummy engine in the cowl, even though that lovely Saito looks so nice at home in there.

Very Nice bird! Setting one up now, did you find the Saito had plenty of power for this massive bird? Have seen a few with 2-stroke bangers and can not come close to the beautiful sound of your combo. Nice job

guys are careful not to shoot down the plan because I hear that there is a shooting range very close where you fly. great vids as always thanks

Hello Clive where did you get the scale exhaust from? The exhaust and painted collector really sets this model off.

criticize all you !Ike .i would like to see the builds of some of the Mr perfect see how good they are .that Lysander was spot on you have to remember he was flying from a very bumpy field .but good or bad i thought it was brilliant.that motor was sweet .

@tbobborap1

well said there isis ! its a bumpy field with cut grass just like the real one flew off in the war ! as you say I don't see any videos of these critics flying their scale lysanders - lol

Its either a bent prop shaft or a faulty spinner.

Nice plane but have to agree on the vibrations from the motor! Also seems landing gear is outta wack? Sits right wing down.

Nice Flight, plane and setup mate. After seeing your video, building one of my own.

How do the wings come together on the fuselage ?
