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.
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
Love these guys they are like big kids.
Thanks for all support my friend.
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.
Two kids with their new toy. Just like me. Nice plane and landing. Keep having fun, it's what keeps us young at heart.
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.
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.
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.
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! 🙂
The dynamic between you two is comical and very entertaining. The plane looks great. Great video men!
Outstanding flight! Everything was beautiful!!
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......
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!
Robert never ceases to suprise me...he always flies such beautiful planes that one can only dream about....love his passion towards RC products👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent landing! Loved this video! Wonderful job reviewing and flying this B-17 model!
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.

Very nice flight and landing. Well done!
GREAT FUN GUYS ! BEAUTIFUL PLANE ! HAPPY FLYING !
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! "
Stunning plane expertly flown!!
wonderful flight and landing. Well done !!!!
What a couple of characters.. great flight beautiful airplane
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
I love the passion for scale my bros! Always entertaining and I totally understand the care to give for this good looking bird!
It's a pleasure to see this nice guy so happy ....!
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.
Greased it!! Great flying and video work guys... Caio.
You guys crack me up, great job as usual, filming and flying.
What an awesome plane! Nice flying Cpt. Robert!
Amazing landing for your maiden flight!
beautifully flown
Boys will be boys! Great flying
The bird is really amazing my friend.
You guy's are totally amazing Robert, My Brothers and i sure enjoy watching you guy's make total fun of this sport, as avid modelers we tend to forget how much fun this sport really is, Thank you and Captain Blush very much for re-igniting the fun in model airplane flying and building.... It would be so much fun to be there in person on the same flying field with you too brothers....
Thanks my friend for such kind words. If you visit Slovenia you are welcome to come on our runway and we will have fun together. Oh yeah.
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.
Wow looked like the real thing flying around! Beautiful aircraft
Really worth every cent my friend. And HobbyKing still sells this baby.
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.
Nice job! Love you guys. Beautiful plane.
That was fantastic. Landing and all. The plane looked so real, most of the time.
I still have this baby. And also the olive color one waiting to be assembled and then maiden flight.
Now that is really COOL! Great job Robert! That thing is spectacular on the slow pass with flaps.
I couldnt believe my eyes. Its so beautiful that hurts. My new love. Oh yeah...
Greased that landing mate.
Awesome
I got a ride in a B17 ( Aluminum Overcast ) a couple of years ago. Best airplane ride ever. You guys do an awesome job, love your channel.
Good Job Robert, Beautiful work. Loved watching it fly.
A great video and a fabulous plane. I have one and yet to maiden. Having seen this video it has given me the need to get mine in the air. Thanks for your great channel👍👍👍
