Anyone seen this B-17? It is pretty cool. I would love to know more about it.

It looks like he intends to fly it as a homebuilt single seater. I wonder if he needs a test pilot.

If it passes the various FAA construction quality control and the big IF, if he can get insurance then all the pilot would need would be a private or better with a multi-engine rating. I think that this plane has been around for a long time Norm

I dont' think the ins is a big deal. I know many that flew without it. I had a friend that had a berkut built and flew it without ins. The canard came off. That was a lot of money down the drain, and one life. I was supposed to go get it when it was done in a few weeks after it crashed. that would have sucked bad.

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats right, Moki/Airworld 400cc radials!!! Can you IMAGINE the sound inside that single seater, and from the ground with all TWENTY 80cc jugs at full song [sm=tongue_smile.gif] I Swear I would test fly it for him!!!

When KitPlanes Mag does their list of planes, I have seen it listed, but it always has a grainy drawing and kit cost of $1M so I always thought it was a spoof.

wow, that sounds good. Would be cool but I bet it is a bit small for the bomber.

looks like a lot of beer being drunk there...hmmm

I want one!

Is he going to "KIT" it in the future???

Dose he have his own web site for this build?

I have just one thing to say ... MORE PLEASE!

P.S., Those Moki 400's someone mentioned won't be enough.

WOW!

I think there is a youtube video of one of these flying..pilot on board...

You're going to need to post a link!!

Dang it! I am not qualified to build one, I don't drink! [&o]

I couldn't find anything on youtube, only a few pics at EAA, I guess there's no actual web site for the build, too bad cuz I'm hot to see

more detail and I'd love to be there for the maiden.

My ol man was a tail gunner in one a these babies.

I know I saw a video of someone landing something just like this at a small airport..I do not believe it was this particular plane.

I know this will make some people happy..big thanks to my friend JR. that found the link and sent it to me..

Is there not a official build site for this project?

Sweet!

It needs a few of these 800CC radials.
