The Avro York shares lots of similarities with its military brother, the Avro Lancaster . In essences the same wings are used, the same nacelles and undercarriage, the same tailplane and the same fins. Effectively the only difference is the fuselage and an extra mid tail fin.

Fully built up construction using balsa and plywood, the fuselage is a simple ‘slab sided’ structure with a cross-sheeted top and underside. The wings are a built-up structure of ribs over a main spar and balsa sheeted. The tailplane built up in a similar fashion to the wings.

The plans are supplied on 2 large sheets of quality AO sizes paper and the VAC set includes a white HIPS nose canopy and set of four cowls and spinners.
The CNC pack includes, ply fuselage formers, balsa wing & tailplane ribs and the nacelle structure as similar to the Avro York . However, to make this a more complete pack, we have also added to the CNC pack the rudder and fins plus also the complete fuselage sides.

Although this is a traditional ‘plan’ and the builder is expected to have previous building experience, we have provided pdf downloads of the build article and a series of construction photos of the prototype build, which should help.
