  • I only flew 5 flights, but there was a lot of excitement, including my 2 maiden flights.

      This looks like the Hobbyking version. I have the FW version and it does not fly that well. I think they discontinued the B-17 because people had too much trouble with it. I am happy to sell mine :-)

      • The CG is off... Mine was a dog. I hated it. Added a gyro, helped some... I went to 2600 batteries instead of 2200's. Added 55 percent expo to the elevator, and it flies like a dream now.... But if you want to sell yours, I am in Willow Park, so let me know!!! ;) Jerry

          PZ, Ouch, :Scared: I will check out the B-17 forum and ask for advice from Mr. B-17 (Hardway) when I do the build later this summer. Gotta build and fly it as I've dreamed it since I first built a 1/72nd for my Dad when I was a kid. Best, LB

          • Hi Elbee, it is the Hobby King 1875mm B-17 V2. Fun plane, great size! I hope Freewing comes out with a new version of similar size...

                                    Actually I'm so blessed to have a runway right across the street from my house, I run an extension cord from my front porch across the road and have my two Hyperion chargers plugged in ready to go, so me and my buddy just charge and fly, the L-39, A-4, T-45, F-4, Eurofighter and the other grey F-16 stayed in the shop...........:)

                                    But one day if and when the high speed rail does come through here, I will lose this runway to them, so I enjoy every minute I can until then,............High Speed Train............:P:P to you.:Crying:
