Looking for plans to build a Lancaster, ideally 72" or larger (up to maybe 90" or 100")

Can anyone help me out?

I did a search on Lancasters here, but all the results I saw were quite old, so I didn't think it made sense to reply to any of them.

Thanks!
Scott

Holy cow, that was quick!

Let me know!

I just got back from the Lancaster museum here in Nanton, Alberta, and now I'm itching to slowly start gearing up for building one.

4x 21 motors - is it electric or gas? Just checking - the word motor throws me for a loop sometimes

Glow motors but I myself would build it as an electric as I hate glow(my personal thoughts).

I believe it is around 103 inch span, electric of course.

If you're still looking, check out Peter Nijhuis and his website -- plans are sold through QEFI -- electrics -- got the lancaster set as I plan on doing a lancastrian soemtime after I build the Mosquito and the Firefly Mk1 (not a nijhuis design)

I think I have Chris Golds' plan for the Lanc, around 98" or so. PM me and we can deal; put it this way, I want to see SOMEONE use these plans!

Thanks guys - I got a hold of both the Tony N plans, as well as the ones offered to me by BigJohn. Now to decide which to build...
