This is one of my proud and childhood dream of having a warbirds because back in the old 80's days my uncle use to build B-17 flying fortress plastic kits and now after many decades i've finally able to fly one of this big marvel of flying war machine. Whole airframe made from dense EPO foam with the wingspan at 1600mm the Freewing B-17 Flying Fortress is a flying gentle giant. Actually its easy to fly almost as docile as huge size Bixler glider with added advantage of high maneuverability doing basic vertical loop and also i accidentally did 'Cobra stunts' as shown on my Youtube video which is amazing considering its heavy weight and size. Running on 3s 5000mah 40 lipo battery it could fly almost close to 14 minute of light time with enough thurst to power 4x props to performance aerobatic flights. Overall this plane is extemely beautiful to look at because of realistic appearance of the real replica of World War 2 B-17 aircraft. Because of it i hanged this plane on the wall in my guest main living room for everyone to see like a plastic models showcase.
