  • Chloe pushes her piloting skills to a new level, and takes off in her new Hobby King B17 Flying Fortress that her father gave her for a present. Will it fly or crash...???

    Nice job with that cross wind. I took the AX3S out of E-flite P-47 and correction on rudder changed. Try to program but didn’t work or l didn’t do it right.👍🏻

    Buy a couple sets of the FMS B-25 props and replace your current props. You will be happy. This plane is a great and gentle flier. Great Job!

    If memory serves me correctly... The original Model 299/XB-17 crashed during testing. The Army Air Corps Test Pilots didn't use the checklist and, as a result, didn't remove the control lock. She stalled, crashed, and killed the crew. Even though Boeing lost the contract to the Douglas B-18, the Army Air Corps still ordered 13 YB-17's for evaluation. Twelve were to do operational testing. The 13th was going to be test flown to destruction.
    That 13th aircraft, filled with every bit of equipment to record strains on the airframe, flew into a thunderstorm. (From the descriptions, it could easily have been a full blown mesocyclone.) That poor bird was tossed all over the sky, including being flipped into inverted flight. Maybe half of the rivets popped during the storm. The instruments recorded stresses that no aircraft had ever survived before.
    Nevertheless, that Flying Fortress brought her crew home. The ship was repaired, updated, and became the only B-17A - with spinners on the props!
    You brought your ship home, and the Fortress won't let you down. Great first flight!

    I see you use safe a lot in your planes . Can you do a video on how to down load the safe to you xr ? I have tried to do it with mine for the eflite f-15 the new 64mm and can’t get it ? Any help would be good for us new flyers !!

    Wait, did you take that radio out of the Timber or just use the Timber profile?

  • @czflyer3947
    @czflyer3947 Před 5 lety

    Nice! I fly mine on a single "yoked" 5500mah 3s. Great idea transplanting the as3x receiver. I enlarged the opening in the bottom of my fuselage & mounted my receiver directly to the wing, then added 12" extensions to the rudder & elevator servos so if I ever need to take her apart the wing is all self contained & easy to disconnect. Great job handling the crosswind btw! Here's a link to my maiden.. czcams.com/video/uewWvf-O0VI/video.html
