Gorgeous 19ft (Aluminum Overcast) “Flying Fortress” Takes To The Skies

We found an AWESOME RC build of a B-17 Flying Fortress on the Youtube channel RCScaleAirplanes that you can’t miss. It’s absolutely huge and has so much detail. So much money and time was spent on this aircraft as one could imagine.  It’s always exciting to see what people can build especially when they create classic warbirds. Just listen to that sound! Absolutely fantastic job done by these guys and their channel full of other awesome RC plane videos. The Flying Fortress is one of the most iconic WWII bombers of all time and a favorite amongst the warbird community.
