Flak canon: "Im juiced!"
B-17: "Tough to the core baby!"

[DavidBauer]

Q: “How does a tail-heavy plane fly?”
A: Once.

[bubwalxifan]

There's a reason why B-17s were nicknamed the flying fortress. Not only for their armament, but for being tough as hell. They were well known for taking a beating and surviving

10:46 “YOU GOT A HOLE IN YOU’RE LEFT WING”

[ibeauf]

The use of wrapping paper as masking paper for large areas is clever

[biko]

7:41 A B17 could carry 4000-8000 pounds of bombs depending on the mission, and would often use 100lb bombs: that would be 40-80 bombs. With 250lb bombs it would be able to carry 16-32 bombs. So 40 apples is a very realistic number!

[starventure]

This video just got recommended to me, a few hours after a real B17 crashed at Dallas Executive airport. Kind of eerie.

[Chuckles..]

This captures something of the B-17's legendary "battered but not broken" pathos.

[jaywhips]

I bet when terry put up those apple guns this was exactly what he was dreaming of doing with them lol. He was loving every second of it that was awesome ! More Terry !!

"Historically accurate aircraft"
**Proceeds to call Stuka without landing gears Fw-190**

[Solitario]

Should totally get some veterans to do the apple shootin wanna see what perfect aim looks like

[AviationJeremy]

The toughness of the B-17 is legendary. Glad to see an RC model live up to the legend.

“Warpath is the most realistic ww2 game” -Sun Tzu, after being paid a lot of money

[acamp]

The P-38 in the background is amazing! Grandaddy flew one in WWII, he turns 101 this year!! Cool video guys.

[JM-jkvz]

Terry had a moment there. This is the coolest thing I've seen in a loooong time! Awesome!

[UkrainiWins]

It would be fun to have the B-17 carry a payload of "eggs" and try to nail the anti-aircraft position! This way everybody gets the damaged... Lol 😂👍

[stephenhudson]

B-17s were known for their survivability and you guys did an excellent build

[richardfinnigan]

LOL this is the only war fighting that should ever be allowed.

"Damn! Even if we had apples, we still wouldn't have won!" - Herman Goehring

[dadsfriendlyrobotcompany]

I still would like to see you build an airframe skeleton out of foam board and wrapped with tissue paper so you can get better scale damage for battles. Can do dog fights with airsoft (biodegradable or paint marker BBS) and have paint ball AA guns on the ground.
