It is only primed at the moment. We're hoping to paint it this spring to have it ready for the upcoming flying season. It will be painted in RAF colours, haha - no kidding! 90 Squadron RAF used these B-17s in the summer of 1942. Wingspan is just above 10' or 3meters, it weighs 44lbs and is powered by four OS .52 four strokes.
I'm surprised people ask if it flew or make comments like 'a waste of time' etc. If you check out the related videos sidebar or hit the More From CTDavies link, you can see at least two videos showing how this model flies. Some people seem to be unable to see beyond the tips of their noses...
oh and dont give me the standby argument about "sound". there are some awesome electric sound systems now that will sound MUCH better than any glow or petrol engine ever would. you can even get the EXACT sound for this plane...man i would put my head into one of those props if it took that much effort to get flying.

Very cool! I like the taxiing pictures. What kind of R/C system are you using? Can the engines be individually controlled? Nice model!!!
Wow, and early model B-17. Very cool indeed!
