19 ft. B-17 “Flying Fortress” (Aluminum Overcast)

48 Comments

1. Fame and glory

2. Looks like the real thing in the air! The U.S. routinely sent up 1,000 B-17s for bombing raids over Germany! Each plane had a crew of ten. If they lost 100 planes that was 1,000 airmen who were lost or bailed out to possible death or capture to spend time in a German POW camp! (the 1953 movie 'Stalag 17' is a classic)

3. It’s really cool to see an rc version of My favorite plane flying!

4. Flying on 3 engines, just like the real thing!

5. Dude make firework bombs on that thing and also add like modified nerf ulguns to shoot fast but make the darts rubber

6. Impressive…just wow

7. Sounds great!

8. Ihre B-17 ist unglaublich! Vielen Dank, dass Sie dieses Video mit uns geteilt haben.

9. It would be great to be there in these fantastic moments…

10. えっ?いいのかな？ジャパニーズです。Ｂ-17フライングフォートレスは私は映画⇨『メンフィスベル』を視聴して憶えました。
    その時代に1番に活躍した最高の爆撃機だと思います。
    でも人を殺す兵器の一部に過ぎないとも思っているので……?

11. You forgot the ball turret

12. everyone be happy until a RC BF-109 shows up
    people will be more happy when it flies alongside the b17

13. My grandfather was a mechanic for these. He saw all of the men dead, wounded, and absolutely shaken first hand because he had to turn around these things very quick. Blood still inside many craft. He never talked about it but we discovered his memoirs of those times. He felt guilty.

14. How’d you get it to sound like an actual B17

15. The props are wrong for a B-17. But otherwise it's a great model.

16. Since I learned to know Sabaton, every time I see a B17, be it the real thing or such a great model, I have the melody of "No Bullets Fly" in my head. Especially since the one propeller of this great RC 1/6 scale model stopped mid flight.

    This is the true story of a special B17 and a German pilot who showed mercy.

    ?From down below an enemy spotted
    So hurry up, rearm and refuel
    But through the bomber’s damaged airframe
    See wounded men, scared to their bone ?

    Look to the right and then look again
    And see the enemy in the eye ?
    No bullets fly, spared by his mercy
    Escorted out, out of harms way

    ?Fly, fighting fair, it’s the code of the air
    Brothers, heroes, foes

    Killing machine
    Honour in the skies?
    ?B17
    Flying home
    Killing machine
    Said goodbye to the cross he deserved

    He risked his life two times that day?
    To save an unknown enemy
    Escort to safety, out of the killzone
    A short salute, then departed

17. so amazing dear friend

18. I remember i use to Watch this all the time.

19. He flew part of the flight and made a three engine landing!
    Very impressive flying

20. Big scale… without 4 sim propeller… Well….

21. IIII Lost engine # 3 maintain your calm and cool, get the crew on board to they're stations, perform emergency landing flight list, land like a BOSS!!!

22. OMG….What a roaring Beauty.

23. Nobody comment about the fact HE SAVED THE PLANE LIKE A BOSS ???
    One engine was down and it should been extremely difficult to handle this huge beast for its FIRST fly !!!
    Especially for the landing on a short landing runway for its size !!!
    What a tremendous victory !!!
    That was f@cking epic.
    Thanks for the video and big salut from France ??!!
    Vinz. ?‍♂️

24. 4:21 I like how he just ignored the kid

25. Lately, it seems that every time I see someone pulling an enormous model airplane out of a truck or hangar they are speaking German or Dutch or some European language. Such a gorgeous work of art, somewhat marred by the going empty nacelles and props, in the age of mass-produced hyper scale parts I am not sure why this thing has to use 2 blade props and have no engine detail in those huge nacelles.

26. Most whitest shit ever but I love it

27. Congratulations, on a beautiful flight!

28. i love the b17

29. Imagine a WW2 German vet was at his home and just heard this,

30. actually, the B-17 had triple blades on the engines, not double blades.

31. Engine no 3 is down

32. From down below an enemy spotted
    
    So hurry up, rearm and refuel
    
    But through the bomber’s damaged airframe
    
    See wounded men, scared to their bone

33. bunch of boomers

34. God, the roar of those engines <33333

35. Dam, that's the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life! Wicked! Best B17 build yet. Great job on a fantastic build! Love your war bird guy's!

36. He deserved that beer

37. Amazing plane.

38. I took advantage of the opportunity to fly in the Collings Foundation’s “909” in about 1995. Memorable to this day.

39. i really love the sound it makes wow

40. This is what you can do when you don't have a wife ?

41. "Comin' in on a wing and a prayer,
    
    Comin' in on a wing and a prayer,
    
    Though there's one motor gone
    
    We can still carry on,
    
    Comin' in on a wing and a prayer".
