Показать описание
This is one of the cooler B-17 models I've come across in my events travels. It was built from a Bob Holman B-17 plan (heavily modified during the build) and is one of two that took about 4 years to complete. It was fiberglassed and finished with Flite Metal and powered by four Saito 91 four strokes. IT looked and sounded great! (more info below) #B17 #RCPlane #warbirds

With all that POWER, IT'S A STUNT PLANE! Great job on the fuselage DETAILS. The real ones aren't NEAR THAT POWERFUL. Thanks for sharing. Cool work.

WOW! There's a lot of work behind it. Just the many rivets...

Wow! I was surprised to see two of them. Too bad you didn't have party poppers drop out of the bomb bay. Awesome!

Balls of steel to keep jumping in those aircraft to go bomb. I can imagine what my face would be if I finished flight school and they told me I was being assigned to a bomber wing instead of a fighter wing.

Beautiful model but a sad reminder of yesterday’s tragedy. 😢

The number of good, young, men who died in that bird is still horrific.

This is sweet! I'm building the same one and am new to the rc world. How did you make the compartment so you access your servo and battery?

Tolle Flieger, leider nicht annähernd original getreu geflogen.

Awesome 👍 don't know if you had it but back in the day when I was a kid we had thin card board paper planes that had a rubber band to wind up and when it was tight just released it and it would take off
