    The B-17 Flying Fortress remains one of the most famous allied bombers of WW2. Although it served in every theatre of the war, it was in the European Theatre of Operations (ETO) with the renowned 8th Air Force in particular, that this sturdy and well-armed heavy bomber flew its way into the history books.
    Building on the success of our original HobbyKing "Memphis Belle" model we have redesigned this huge 1875mm wingspan warbird and now bring to you the best flying and best-looking rendition of this iconic heavy bomber available anywhere in this size.
    Our fantastic model is simple and fast to assemble right out of the box with all of the servos and ESCs pre-installed. It is made from EPO foam, so it's as tough as you would expect and as the one-piece wing is removable, it is also very practical to transport.
    The pre-fitted electric scale wheels retract forward like the real aircraft and are large enough to tackle almost any surface. There is also plenty of power on tap from the four upgraded 850kv brushless motors. Counter-rotating props make zero torque, smooth take off's, the order of the day and with pre-fitted split flaps, landings are also stress-free.
    But it's the attention to detail on this version that is impressive. Panel lines have been reduced and two new accurate scale color schemes are now available. Olive drab/grey and overall silver. These two schemes represent the vast majority of B-17's that went into action and as an additional feature, we've also included a choice of two 8th Air Force decal sets for each color scheme as well as an optional chin turret so that you can create either an early "F" or later "G" variant.
    As a Flying Fortress, our model also bristles with guns, with top and ball turrets as well as tail, nose, and waist gun positions. Dummy Wright Cyclone engines are finished with three-blade counter-rotating scale props and hubs and finally, working navigation & landing lights add to the overall realism level of this impressive model.
    Beneath the surface, our B-17 has been beefed up with additional wing bracing and of course, she has been test flown extensively and it's in the air that this model really comes into its own.
    You will be struck at how easy it is to fly, almost like a powered glider at times and even though it's more than capable of performing non-scale aerobatics including loops and rolls, it is at slower speeds that it looks every bit the heavy bomber.
    With its impressive wingspan, low passes translate into a real presence in the air and the sound of those four props driving it forward just adds to the experience.
    Our B-17 is a scale pilot's dream model. It's a big airplane that looks great, flies beautifully, and definitely has the "wow" factor that will have heads turning wherever and whenever you fly it.

    • Scale outline
    • Authentic color scheme
    • Choice of decals
    • Optional chin turret for "G" variant

    My father was the navigator/bombadier on the 17's in WW2. He was the most decorated navigator in the Italian theater. He passed away almost 3 years ago at 96 years old and all of us kids knew nothing of his war record till he passed.

  • @jamesberwick2210
    @jamesberwick2210 Před 2 lety

    Beautifully flown. The reason they quit painting them green, the green paint weighed 300 pounds. That meant 300 more pounds of fuel and it made them slightly faster without the paint. My dad built them under contract to Boeing, at Lockheed Burbank, California. along with P-38s.

    Great flight

  • @clutchpedalreturnsprg7710

    Hi Brothers, I just found this video today. Looks to be a nice plane. Seeing it reminded that we lost our local B-17 of at least the past 30 years, about two months ago. It was named " Texas Raiders ". No more will it pass overhead. Nor will the P-63 that cut it in half. I hope that your planes do not crash. " Hey! "

    When they are nose heavy, give it up elevator Robert. It is a beautiful plane. Some of the Warbirds, the CG is close to the wheels which make them nose heavy or tip forward on take off and landings. Just give them up elevator and ease off as it takes off and lands. What a great flight Robert and as always great camera work from Capt. Blaz! Love your video's and humor! Also, beautiful country!

      Hey M. LIke you said, this plane is just amazing. I bought it second hand but it still has so much life inside. And I must say that this is really one amazing flyer and it looks and sounds so great. Iam thinking to fly it now in our famous quarry. That will be a flight to remember... Big salute to USA from Slovenia. Cheers my friend, Robert
