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.

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.
Love these guys they are like big kids.
Thanks for all support my friend.
What an awesome video. The interaction between you two boys is priceless!
Congratulations on your successful maiden Robert and a big thumbs up for a perfect landing. Keep the videos coming! Cheers, Bob
TripleThreatRC we live for Rc world!!
Thanks Bob. We really enjoy spending time together on an airfield. We also work together so this is relaxing after hard day of work. Stay well my friend and see you soon, Robert
You guys have just had me in hysterics, that was. Brilliant. I’m gonna buy my own liberty bell and paint you guys on the nose art.
As a huge fan of the 8th USAAF and the B-17, this video made me extremely happy. I salute you, your flying, the model and the bomber boys who flew the real aircraft and to those that gave their lives for our freedom. Never forget.
Two kids with their new toy. Just like me. Nice plane and landing. Keep having fun, it's what keeps us young at heart.
The plane looks just like the real thing in the air and the landing was perfect !!
Thanks my friend. This bird is really amazing flyer and looks perfect in the air.
These guys are great!!!! I'm an ignorant American, I don't know much about accents... Which is this? Love it!!!! Even this American can get and enjoy the dry humor.
We are from Slovenia my friend. Thanks for stopping by.
Info about plane 8/10. Interesting facts about history 8/10. Random zooming in 8/10. Funny bickering with each other 10/10.
It's a pleasure to see this nice guy so happy ....!
Perfect “ to bad it can’t drop bombs, we use shotgun shells , remove pellets replace with flower. Very nice video guys god bless
Loved the landing!
It was pretty good my friend. Thanks.
A couple of big kids enjoying their airplane!
Boys will be boys! Great flying
The bird is really amazing my friend.
GREAT FUN GUYS ! BEAUTIFUL PLANE ! HAPPY FLYING !
Robert never ceases to suprise me...he always flies such beautiful planes that one can only dream about....love his passion towards RC products👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just found your test flight channel and cant stop watching, you both have inspired me to build and fly ,keep up the good work , and the entertainment
Chris.
Thanks for stopping by my friend.
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! "
A very nice plane and an awesome maiden flight, and a successful landing. I recon you have enjoyed many flights since. You got an awesome deal for that aircraft as well. Thank you for the video! Please have an excellent and awesome day! 🙂
Excellent in every way. Nice flying. Good battery power too.
Man O Man What a Sound that Plane Has and it is a Fast one too.... Nice Piloting Robert.
I love the passion in your eyes about this stuff. this is what makes your channel awesome. Cheers from America!!
Great looking and flying model and great flying of. Very nice product and video.
Wonderful, my best plane from the war, you did a fine job taking off and brilliant landing
The dynamic between you two is comical and very entertaining. The plane looks great. Great video men!
Landings don't get any better than that one. Nicely done.
Hahaha omg you guys are a killer! One day when i come to Slovenia we will have pivo and maybe some rakia and the laughter will flow! But not while flying a plane! That bird looks so beautiful in the air. Salute prijatelji.
Really a great flight. Now it is plain to see why the smooth runway you use now is so much better for the small to medium wheels, especially on a heavy model. I hope to see it fly again now that maybe 2 years have passed. It is a beauty!
That was so awesome, such an amazing aircraft with a lot of history, my great uncle, Wilbur Richardson was a belly turret gunner on a B-17 during WW2. The stories he had told us are priceless, thank you and keep up the good work......
Very interesting that a b17 made a emergency landing in ww2 near your place and and over 50 years later you fly this beautiful plane
Great flight
A peace off beauty!!
Greased it!! Great flying and video work guys... Caio.
Big thumbs up from the USA!!! Loved your vid,,, You two are my kind of people! Would love to hang out at the field with you guys!!
Salute pilot Robert,that is a great choice if airplane.
My uncle flew one in the 8th Air force over Germany in 1944.
A very forgiving airplane.
Great landing and epic narrative 👍
What a couple of characters.. great flight beautiful airplane
Captain Bloc you together fly it perfectly! It is really big, the fortress!
Man once it got into the air it became Majestic! Those four motors and the way she flies, really nice. Thanks!
Czech humor and good times. These two are a hoot. Pretty good filming and piloting as well.
Hey James. Its Slovenian humor ;) Thanks for kind words. We really love planes and we want to show to the world how beautiful this hobby is. But in a little different way. The fun way and with a lot of babbling ;) Greetings from Slovenia, Robert
AMIGOS, CAPITAN ROBERT Y CAPITAN BLAZ, DESDE COLOMBIA RECIBAN UN GRAN ABRAZO, QUIERO FELICITARLOS POR SU CANAL Y SUS VIDEOS, SON INCREIBLES Y CREO QUE LO QUE MAS ME GUSTA VER ES EL ENTUSIASMO QUE USTEDES PONEN EN CADA UNO DE SUS VUELOS.
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.
Awesome flying, beautiful airplane.....the B17 flies again.
it was great to spend almost twenty minutes with you guys!!!
What a presence in the air! I salute you for this successful flight. I would have never guessed that this thing ends up in the air after seeing the starting difficulties.
Outstanding flight! Everything was beautiful!!
The pilot...! What a guy~! Good show!
I got to see this fine B-17 at a air show in Jacksonville Arkansas a few years ago. You know it crash landed not too long ago safely but burned up on the ground a few minutes later. I get a kick out of you guys liking this RC kit. Thank you for sharing.
A couple of friends just out having a great time. Love it!
Great times.that was awsome.
Your videos = happiness and smiles all round and your enthusiasm is catching!
Всегда с удовольствием смотрю этот канал. Ребята не только показывают в действии новинки,но и прилично веселят. Молодцы!!!
