After these posts where made I ended up buying a WingSpan models B17, 1/9th scale full wood kit and some of the scale parts. I will be building it in a thread on RCSB if you want to look in. It will be in the WingSpan Models topic area under designers.

The WS is without a doubt, they best B17 kit available today and probably for the next few years or more. Mike Kramer has taken the scale B17 design one huge step further than the Don Smith deisgn. While the Don Smith was the best for a long time now, it doesn't come up to this leve of design at all. I know, I now own both. The WIngSpan design has in fact taken scale model design one big step forward and the other designers out there better step up to the plate or fall way behind.

Thanks again Mike!

Have you checked out Wingspanmodels URL lately? Greg Hahn took top scale honors at Toledo, and the maiden flight is posted on the website. Looks like a great flyer to me, so I ordered mine this past weekend from Mike.
