Yea so I am crazy- still going to build it though! your right, I have a friend who has built, flew, and will admit he has crashed more planes than he can count. Been flying rc planes for about 30 years and piloting real planes for about 45 years. (crop dusters!)
THANKS FOR THE INFO, WILL TAKE CLOSER LOOK AT PROJECT.
Kevin.
Kevin,
I question how good a friend your friend is if he is willing to let you go ahead with this project before gaining more RC experience. Maybe he wants to see a crash? I've been instructing for almost 10 years now and would HIGHLY recommend for you to get at typical "second" airplane and get very proficient with that before moving forward on your B-17. The good "2nd" airplanes have been gone over thousands of times in the beginners section, but I would highly suggest an Ultrastick. Then after that a Twinstar or a similar twin trainer. No one here wants to see all your time and money go "down in flames".
