The B-17 was an amazing plane. My dad flew 35 missions to Germany and back machine gunner and radio operator. He was a member of the lucky bastards club. That is one beautiful model rest in peace dad I miss you.
Mine did 33 missions -went through several planes. With the 303 RD and maybe with 305th .Seldom talked about it. Found some odd metal in our garage -I'm about 12, and asked dad what was this ? " Flack" . Took many years to understand and still don't know the full hell he went through .
Proof a superior design will fly best. Boeing's nearly perfect bomber often made it home when lesser aircraft couldn't. What a beautiful flight! At scale, the gusty winds were near hurricane strength to the model.
BEAUTIFUL!!! I sure wouldn't want to be the machine gunner in that glass cage under the pilot! That took a lot of guts to do what those guys did during WWII!!! Nice flying by the way! My late cousin loved RC planes and was a club member here on Cape Cod. He built and flew for many years.
Beautiful, excellent, that was great to watch even with the strong winds. Congratulations on a fine flight. May you have many more as you fly that beautiful B-17. From the USA
@@rolacook222 My best hobby with me for number of years, till today still keeping my favorite Spit Fire, too bad no more ground for the fun in our country SG...
Superb, congratulations to the film maker and to the builder of the B17,the views of the B17 against those lovely clouds were just like the real thing. Having followed the progress of "our B17 Sally B" I since she first flew all those years ago the model looked so real and what a super landing ,well done.
My Dad and I used to fly RC planes. He had a cadet that he put floats on and we would fly it on Lake Harding on the Chattahoochee. A friend of mine had a ducted fan F-16 and I was at the time, a F-16 crewchief in the USAF. Was so much fun
NICE!! Job!! I always use to say wind most of the time Is your FRIEND👍🏼🚀🏁 with Take off and landing and most fun is that Down wind rush of MPH 😎, Wind makes you a way better Pilot as well, thank You For Sharing and again great Job 👏💙👏
We had a real one come to our airport here in Burlington NC. The 909 I believe. It looks so huge from the outside but once you got in it there wasn't any wasted space. You could imagine the bombs in that thing. Man it was awesome. Then you think about the crew and pilots. Hell they were kids really. The old guys ,the pilots probably weren't more than 24 or so. You know, the old guys. With the crew being teenagers really. We owe a lot to them. The greatest generation? You damn right they were!
Awesome 👌 my FATHER FLEW 61 missions in 5th Air Force out New Guinea in Pacific , he switched back in forth between waist & tail gunner he's credited 1kill Zero
What a gusty day! I do love the sound of petrol engines, on an RC aircraft. I dislike electric with a passion. Real jet turbines are very cool as well! Man, he pulled a Greaser, when he landed! Well done!
Oh Wow BEAUTIFUL ITS too bad Boeing never built REMOTE CONTROL B-17 BOMBERS DURING WW2,?? HOPE HOLLYWOOD SEES YOUR BEAUTIFUL PLANES AND ASKS YOU TO USE IT IN A MOVIE..HOW EXCITING 😊😊😊MANY GOD PRAYERS 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely outstanding looking aircraft, I salute you and your work in the careful crafting and build quality. One question I ask is why are there the two blade propellers? Are the accurate four blade propellers not available, or is there a reason for the twin blade?
The farm across my flying field had a wind indicator. If the roof got blown off the the chicken coop fly with caution if it flew off the barn come back tomorrow.

@@roadking99jokerst60 God Bless Your Dad and his service to our country he was from The Great Gereration like my dad

If he didn't make it back, you weren't born
My wife's gandpa did 35 missions, part of the "Bloody Hundredth." Plane was named "Miss Chief."
Wonderful airman ship, a kiss my hand hand landing in challenging conditions AND no bloody music!!!!!!!
Thank you
What a beauty of a model B-17!
Excellent model and flight demonstration. He is one with his machine. Well Done Sir.
Thank you
Thanks, beautiful job!
As they say Landings are the most difficult. This landing was one of the best I have seen. Great.
Thank you
I was fortunate enough to fly in the 909. I spent most of the flight in the nose sitting in the bombardier's chair. What an experience.
Outstanding flight and landing in strong winds.
Thank you
Absolutely Gorgeous B17.....
Indeed it is!
Wow! That was a gutsy flight in gusty conditions. Well done, sir.
Thank you

Absolutely fantastic. great aero modeling and great flying too!
Absolutely brilliant great skills
Thank you

Just outstanding! I can appreciate the B-17. I was lucky to tour the inside of one. It was so cramped. Beautiful plane.
Danke!
Bitte sehr!

Beautiful plane..perfect flight and landing..awesome..!
Yes indeed!
Wow what an epic Bird, even with four engine, you could see the wind fighting her all the way, great pilot. Great footage Dom 👍🏻
How cool is that! I actually flew on the Nine-0-Nine twice as a passenger before it was unfortunately lost recently.
Well done guys, brilliant work!
Very impressive, it even sounds like the real plane when in the air.
Nicely flown!
Dude is a stud RC pilot!
Haha cheers 😂
My father flew 43 combat missions piloting a B-17-
Many of those missions were in the ‘909’- quite an aircraft!!!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Great tribute to the 909 and the seven soles lost on October 2, 2019.
Souls is the number of living humans on board. I had to look it up just now.
I don’t fly but if I did I’d never fly that much money in that kind of wind!
Great flying video!😊
That landing was well done. KUDOS!!!
Thank you
Landing is the most critical part for the hobby and not taking off, well done and thanks.... 😊
I love it ! Great Landing. Mr.G
Thank you
Flying Art.
How fantastic.
Man I know how tough it is landing in high winds,nice job with that big ole 17!!!
Very good! Congratulations!!
Beautiful aircraft piloted by a very skilled man.
Mastery of the air- in miniature!
Nicely done, it looks so realistic. Thank you for showing us your nice B 17.
My pleasure
Thanks
WOW?! What a GREAT LANDING in the wind!!!!👍🏻
Yes indeed!
@@rolacook222 My best hobby with me for number of years, till today still keeping my favorite Spit Fire, too bad no more ground for the fun in our country SG...
@@SentTowNg Thanks for the reply. Yes, all those changes, still you have the right attitude, keeping the Spit Fire and moving on. Best, Rola👍🏻
Hey! That was a great! Video I enjoyed every minute of it and I'm sure you enjoy it everytime you fly it fly free and enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you
People raise their glass to my ship models, whether scratchbuilt or kit; but this is a unique build and superb performance. Congrats!
Thank you
Beautiful landing in that much wind! Well performed!
Lots of Love Here.
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen. Apart from that dude who build a miniature one that he can sit in and fly himself.
@@noelmccormack1862 thanks Noel

since she first flew all those years ago the model looked so real and what a super landing ,well done.
I’ve got some great photos of her parked next to sally b at duxford.
Considering the wind conditions beautiful job of flying and greasing that landing
Thank you
Bel modello e bellissima esibizione
Thank you
Gorgeous., impressive plane and nice landing. (I would paint those props silver or grey).
They were painted but a few weeks earlier I had a wheels up landing which broke the original props. These were new and they’re now painted👍
@@stevekilbon8395 Nice, thanks.

TOO PERFECT!!!!!! Please don't break it!
Needs a camera filming from inside plane ✈️ 👍👍
Maybe I'll persuade Steve to put one of my FPV setups in it next year 🤔
The wind is your friend :-) Gorgeous model!
fpv ball turret for a ride along would be sweet

SWEEEEEEEET 👍
Красивая модель, браво, а если бы ещё рули были более плавные, чтобы самолёт не так дёргался, то он выглядел бы в полёте как настоящий В-17.

Ut would be cool if you could offer some data as weight, span, motors details and aprox building time.
Anyhow nice video and plane.
