Besides the absolute beauty of this aircraft and the work to build and fly is the appreciation of our American aircraft for the other nations people to build and display them. Same as at our fields when we see the German, British, Russian aircraft and more...simple put, we all love the FLYING MACHINE! We the viewers cannot thank you enough for the total enjoyment of the art of flight........
Dear Scott. Thank you very much for your great comment. I fully agree about the various types of rc aircrafts built in different countries without any hate of what they were used during WWII.
I would appreciate if you want to have a look at some other videos I've uploaded.
For example .... ruclips.net/p/PLe3kFcprrqUPGcP8oonNVp9vSiAciivaP

Hello Captain, nice to have you here. Many thanks for your kind comment. much appreciated !!!
Hello Chad. Many thanks to you for watching and commenting.
Other, more powerful engines were recently mounted and as well new 3 blade props.
this is the first RC replica i've ever seen that looks like it has the same flying characteristics as the real plane, the proportional acceleration and the way it drifts on takeoff. Most RC replicas are over powered and over propped which makes them look twitchy and unrealistic in flight but this one appears to lumber and struggle on takeoff like the real thing. the power to weight ratio on this RC has to be close to what the original B17's were.... Good Job!!!
_Thank you for the compliments. Much appreciated !_
Quadflopper101 the shear size must have something to do with it right???
I think so, too!
Incredible aircraft. My dad was a lead pilot in the 398th bomb group so this model is particularly significant.
I showed him the video and he thought it was amazing. Thanks for posting and making his day!
Thank you very much for your great comment. I'm glad to know that you enjoyed the video.
Best regards, RCSA
Appreciate seeing the amazing accomplishments of modeling scaled aircraft. Truely is a treat in seeing this tribute to American aircraft. My hat is off to you sir. Brought tears to my eyes watching her take to the skies. Thank you for sharing. Canada
_Thank you for your kind words. You can also find more videos of this B-17 by watching the play list of FALCON WINGS_

That is one of the finest pieces of flying art I have seen, I'd love to watch is in person some day. The attention to detail is difficult to find words for. I am beyond impressed. I have to add this, I caught myself clapping my hands upon observing the landing, just so realistic, made me think I was in that space and time when they were doing their real life work. Thank you for sharing this, I enjoyed it tremendously.
Thank you very much Orie, for your superb comment, which I greatly appreciate.
Until now nobody noticed, that just before lift off, the rudder was without function. Before lift off Peter has to correct on the runway with the aileron (the plane slightly tipped to the right). He did a great job flying it under this conditions and he brought it back safely. Best regards, RCSA
Great flying this amazing plane of yesterday. My mother worked on building the leading edge in between the two engines when she was in her 20's. Thanks for keeping the history going about the airframe.
I just spent the last 30+ minutes watching the Flickr slideshow. What a fantastic aircraft. It's good to know there are still people out there putting in this kind of effort!
I have been a static scale model airplane builder all my life, been fortunate enough to win some awards at model contests during those years. I just wanted you to know that I think your Big Fort is a real work of art. It's absolutely gorgeous with regards to the lines of the airframe, down to the smallest details. I wished the props could be scale replica's of the standard 3 bladed props but still, the aircraft is an absolute love of art. I tip my hat to the builder of the aircraft, the painter, the person that weathered the Natural metal look as well. In every aspect, it looks like the real thing and sounds like one too. I can't find a better way of complimenting the effort that went into making this bird. Thank you again for posting this video to share with us. Many, Many Thanks.
Vielen Dank für die Komplimente. Auch ich wünsche Peter, dass er noch lange mit seinem Meisterwerk Spass haben wird.
Viele Grüße, RCSA
Eight years ago, I took a ride in the EAA Aluminum Overcast at EAA. How exciting it was. I was so inspired by the ride, at later fly-ins, I rode their B-25 and their Ford Tri Motor. Three chances of a lifetime, eh? I'm so fortunate!
Many thanks Christopher for your nice comment and compliments. Much appreciated !
Yes, it would be great to see it on tv. The next project of this club is to build 4 giant Junkers Ju-188 ... and they has already started !!!
Best regards, RCSA
Two dislikes? How? I flew R/C planes for years (I guess in the early days...). I sure love seeing these videos. I thought 1/4 scale with four cycle glow engines was something. It takes me back. Thank you so much.
Masterful rendition of a great warbird. Excellent piloting skills as well. Congratulations!
Besten Dank Markus für Deinen tollen Kommenatr !
Many thanks Stig, for your kind comment. The video Oberhausen 2013 is under work and will be uploaded soon. Also thank you for your subscription to my channel, which I appreciate very much!!!
Best regards, Horst
I flew on the real one. Was a dream come true! A very worthy RC, this one is. A tribute to a great plane!
jonesy97 *_thank you for your kind comments._*
You're very lucky to have the opportunity to get a ride on such a historical aircraft.
One day I will try to get a flight too. 😎
I got to ride on the aluminum overcast myself and it was a dream come true. Pics and videos just can't relay the awesomeness of being on board flying while sitting in the bombardier seat. The beauty of looking out the plexiglass nose. And I have the jacket to prove I flew on her.
Amazing aircraft (can not call it "model"), very realistic flight. And, of course, golden hands, that have built it.
Thanks for your kind comment. Yes, the engine hood opened because it was not properly locked. This airfield is normally used by full scale aircraft.
Exceptional plane,Have never seen one fly in real life but have to belive it would not sound much diffrent than this model,very realistic landing with 1 engine out like they used to come home after a mission all those years ago,great vid as usual,pilot flew it very well.
Thanks for the vid.
Many thank's Pete !!!

Thank's Mike for your nice comment, which I greatly appreciate.
Many thanks for your great comment. You're right ... the "Falcon Wings" are really fantastic guys and we have always a lot of fun at the airfield. Best regards, RCSA
Many thanks Rafael for your kind comment. Much appreciated !!!
great vid horst, you nearly got wiped out at 1.25 - lol,
gorgeous aircraft and well filmed my friend - regards pete,
Many thanks Morris for your Kind comment. Much appreciated. Best regards, RCSA
This is one beautiful warbird and a wonderful accomplishment. Thumbs up from New Jersey,USA
Many thanks for your kind comment. The rudder linkage had come loose at the start. Therefore Peter had to correct the B-17 with the ailerons.
A thing of beauty. I can only admire the skill and hard work it takes to built something like that.
Many thanks Bob, for your cool comment. Much appreciated ! ! !
With nose art this time. Very nice. II have had the fortune to see the real plane and many others close up and all together. Awesome to see them fly over your back yard.
I got a chance to see the real "Aluminium Overcast" May, 2013. I took many photos and my I say, whoever built this aircraft did one hell of a job on replicating the real bird. My hats off to you all! She's got a pretty good pilot as well.
Thank you very much for your great comment, David. I'm glad to know that you liked watching the video. If you like, you can watch another video of this plane > 19 ft. B-17 "Flying Fortress" Flying Together With 6 Other Warbirds
Best regards, RCSA
Many thanks Bengt for your kind comment. You're right. I always get hearthbeat behind the camera. It's very impressive to see it live! Best regards, Horst
Terrific model! - best B-17 RC model I've ever seen and terrific flight! Kudos!
Many thanks Tim for your kind comment. I'm glad to know you like it !
Best regards, Horst
this channel is going to very hit now
Eine B-17 auf friedlicher Mission... ich bin gerade sprachlos... sowas hab ich noch nie gesehen oder gehört... diese Maschine ist die ABSOLUTE KRÖNUNG!!! ... Das Flugbild und der Sound sind einmalig... ich liebe dieses Bild...
looks and sounds like the real deal
_Thank you for your kind comment, Bill_
what a beautiful job on that aircraft! To me you did the B-17 proud with the craftsman ship of the build!
I just came across this beauty, OUTSTANDING B-17.
Great job sir.
_THANK YOU !_
Vielen Dank Christian für Deinen tollen Kommentar und Komplimente. Beste Grüße, Horst
Thanks for your kind comment, which are greatly appreciated !!!
Peter, congratulations. A beautifully built and flown model.
You impressed me by staying calm when the cowl popped on one of the engines, and you had one of them stop.
Nice landing.
Over all a very impressive display.
Rob
Many thanks for your kind comment, Graham. Much appreciated !
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Emil. Much appreciated !!!
Thank you very much Jeffery, for your compliments. Much appreciated.
Stay tuned. Best regards, RCSA
We are totally "Impressed", well done, fantastic flying. What an accomplishment.
I don't think I've ever seen a model look and fly in such a realistic manner. Remarkable.
Yes, the rudder was without function and only the tail wheel turned. Peter did a great job flying it under this conditions.
Well Done. Absolutely the best RC sound I have ever heard! It would stir the soul of any WWII warrior who is still among us. My father, god rest him, would have killed to marvel at such a sight. I'm so so impressed by your talent.
Many thanks Eduardo for your compliments !!!
Thank you Matthew for your kind comment !
Having two flights with two engine shut-off's means that it's not very relaxing for the pilot. At the 2nd flight only one engine failed. After touchdown the ignition of the inner engines were shut down. It seams that the 42cc engines are overstressed and therefore they were replaced by bigger (65cc) one.
Thank you Omhra for your compliments! You're always welcome. Best regards, RCSA
THX four watching, Theo !
Hoffe für dem Besitzer, dass alles eine lange Zeit gut bleibt und nichts passiert. Natürlich werde ich in kürze wieder gucken wenn du ein neues video vom Flieger hast.Echt ein tolles Modell.
Viele Grüße, Joel
Thank you very much James, for your great comment which I really appreciate.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, I managed it to get for Peda the hat, t-shirt and jacket of the "Aluminum Overcast" directly from EAA "b17 . org"
Thank you Romao for your kind comment. Much appreciated !!!
Best regards, RCSA
What a really beutiful plane. Superb detail and it even sounds real. Credit to all the hours that have been put into building it. Thank you for the vid. John Kinnane Tasmania Australia
I'm from Brazil, I've never watched a so great flight like that! It was fantastic!
_Thank you very much for your kind comments !_
Yes, it would be cool to spend a weekend together. Thank's to YOU for your kind comments, my friend !!!
Best regards, RCSA
What a beautiful aircraft. What a great engine sound. Very expertly flown. Wonderful!!

Gracias José Luis, por tus cumplidos. Me alegro de que te guste el video. Saludos, RCSA
Many thanks for your compliments. Much appreciated !
Thank you for your great comment, Andy.
The 1st engine stopped due to an ignition problem. The 2nd engine was switched off after landing.
Another great video of a really great job of realism and sound.
_THANK YOU !_
Many thanks for your kind comment !!!
Thank you very much for your compliments. Much appreciated.
Anything I say would be an understatement for this amazing build. Just phenomenal!!
Sehr beeindruckend, sowohl das Modell, als auch die perfekte Flugvorführung!

Many thanks Chris, for your great comment !!!
Vielen Dank Joel. Peter wird kein Risiko eingehen und nur fliegen, wenn alles passt. Ich freue mich schon auf den nächsten Flug.
Bis dann ... viele Grüße, Horst
Thank you Nicholas. I'm sure that Peter is very proud of his B-17
Thank's Rob for your compliments. I'm sure that Peter will appreciate it !!!
Best regards, RCSA
I got to ride in Aluminum overcast. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Your model is completely awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Oh yea, one giant thumbs up!!!
Thank you for your kind comment, William.
I can imagine what does it mean to have a ride on the original B-17
You're a lucky man !!!
You're completely right. He did a great job on flying it with the appearing difficulties during flight.
Best regards, Horst
Thank you for your kind comment. Yes, Peter worked hard to build this plane. You can see the pictures of "how to build a scratch model" by following the link in the video description. The option to fix a camera in the plane will be checked out during next flights. Still no bomb bay ... maybe next job during winter time ;)
Many thanks Mike for your great comment. Also I've never seen a real B-17 ... I missed it at the Hahnweide Air Show in 2009 and it was only 45 miles from my home. What a shame :(
One day I should visit the "Flying Legends Air Show" at Duxford U.K. Best regards, Horst
coolest B-17 model I have ever seen!
Wow! Stunning Flying Fortress! What dedication and craftsmanship it took to accomplish a build of this caliper. Outstanding pilot also! Great video, thank you for sharing...
Many thanks for your compliments!
Thank you for your kind comment, which I really appreciate.
Hi Klaus, es freut mich sehr, Deinen Kommentar zu lesen. Ich habe nichts dagegen, wenn Du hin und wieder hier vorbei schaust.
Jetzt geht die Saison erst richtig los. Da kommen noch viele fette Brummer :)
Viele Grüße, Horst

Best regards, RCSA
Thank you for your compliments. Much appreciated !!!
Thank you for the compliments. We will do our very best !!! Best regards, RCSA
Many thanks Ricardo. Much appreciated !
Another engine out and a open panel, it's a good thing this bird is well behaved. Great vid and flight!
Besten Dank. Freut mich, dass es gefällt !!!
We don't know but Peter is working hard to solve this issue !
Many thanks for your kind comment. Since this was only it's second Flight, there are still some minor issues to solve. Fortunately it flies very well and Peter had everything under control. Best regards, RCSA
Thanks Peter. Much appreciated.
Thank you Darryll for your great comment. I'll post some pictures of the procedure of the technical acceptance and you'll see how challenging it is for a modeler to pass this. :)
I'm sure that we can do some more videos of that beauty.
Best regards, Horst
Thank you very much for your great comment which I really appreciate.
This was the 2nd flight of this B17. Some smaller issues have to be solved and then it will be o.k.
Best regards, RCSA
You will see it for sure, Victor !
