Default Hobby Lobby's B-17 - Love it...

Hey Guys, we reviewed the Hobby Lobby B-17 (for RC Pilot Magazine) and I have to say that once you correct the elevator pushrod issue (which Hobby Lobby says they will correct in the next batch), the plane flies terrifically. It looks great in the air and is not difficult to land, provided you keep enough airspeed over the runway. It's got plenty of details and power (we flew it at 6,200 feet).

The thumbnail is from the story in the July issue of the magazine.

How about some pictures of the model, and some review right here.

Or do we have to buy your magazine?

Hey Frank,

I'd love to provide the review here for all but we have subscribers and paying customers who would be upset if we did! Also, understand that we spend a ton of money putting together professionally shot and edited video as well as stunning photos to create the review (and we pay writers who actually write for money). So the 3.99 we get for a single issue is pretty cheap to not only see the B-17, but to read our behind-the-scenes look at Hobby Lobby and all the other great stories in the issue.

I'll tell you what; if you buy the issue and you are not satisfied with it, we'll credit you back.

Can it fly on one wing like the one in Realflight sim? That was a hoot when I knocked a wing off and it still took off and flew.

If you want to spend 350 bucks to find out, we will put the video in our magazine!
