    Rc Scaling
In summary, for a 1/10 scale RC Lancaster, four 4-stroke glow fuel engines with an output of 1,280 hp (954 kW) each would be too powerful and you may want to consider smaller engines or electric motors.

Building a RC Lancaster 1/10 Scale
Planning on putting in 4 x 4stroke glow fuel enjins on it
Expected weight is 10-20 kg - but have no real idea yet
Any sugestions?

Real Lanc is as follows - from Wikipedia of coarse

Wingspan: 102*ft 0 in (31.09*m)
Height: 20*ft 6 in (6.25*m)
Wing area: 1,297 sq ft (120.5*m²)
Empty weight: 36,457*lb (16,571*kg)
Loaded weight: 68,000*lb (30,909*kg) [42]
Max. takeoff weight: 72,000*lb (32,727*kg) with 22,000 (10,000*kg) bomb
Powerplant: 4 × Rolls-Royce Merlin XX liquid-cooled V12 engines, 1,280*hp (954*kW) each

For a 1/10 scale RC Lancaster, given the expected weight of 10-20 kg, four 4-stroke glow fuel engines with an output of 1,280 hp (954 kW) each would be far too powerful. You'd likely need to look at engines with an output of around 8-10 HP (6-7.5 kW) each. Depending on the size of your model and its intended use, you may also want to consider electric motors as an alternative.
